Royal a Aberdeen – The Final

The final was held on Saturday amidst more rain and wind. Connie Jaffrey (The Ladies Golf Club Troon) got of to a wonderful start with a fine display of her short game and putting skills requiring only single putts on six of the first nine holes leading Clara Young (North Berwick)by five holes at the turn. Clara was down but not out. A five hole winning run at the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th holes squared the match. A great comeback. A bogey at the 16th saw her go one down again. The 18th saw her plugged in thick and wet rough and unable to move the ball any distance the game was up and Connie won the championship by two holes.

Well down Clara on such a great contest and in almost securing the Scootish for a second time.
