by captain Marion Stewart and Carol Whyte

The semi-finals and final of the 2016 West Vets Championship were played today in a very cold but a mainly dry day (until the last three holes of the Stewart Cup) at Renfrew Golf Club.
Carol Whyte ( Milngavie ) had a very close match with Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie ) with Carol winning 2 and 1.
Anabel Kane ( Kilmacolm ) again had a very exciting match - this time against Gillian Kyle ( East Renfrewshire ) with players needing birdies to win holes. Gillian eventually triumphed 3 and 2.

In the afternoon final Carol Whyte got off to an excellent start and was 2 up after three holes but Gillian fought back and was two up by the turn. Carol then won the 11th hole to be only one down but Gillian upped her game and went on to win 3 and 2.
Referee - West Vets Captain Marion Stewart  was tiring after the first six holes and nearly developed tennis elbow as the players were taking it in turns to be in bunkers! Well done to Gillian who wins the championship for the first time and goes forward to play at Blairgowrie to play in the Scottish Veterans LGA Championship.

Stewart Cup Winner Fiona Roger
with Vice Captain June Lockhart and Lynn McColl

In the Stewart Cup (Handicap Trophy) -- Lynn McColl (Bearsden) and Fiona Roger (Ranfurly Castle) contested the final in a most sporting manner. Having gained the initiative early on, Lynn was ahead throughout most of the match, but on 5 occasions Fiona pulled it back to all square.
However Fiona snatched victory on the 19th with a very good par 4, but both deserve credit for a well fought match.

From L-R Fiona, June, Marion, Lynn, Gillian and Carol

Thanks also go to Morag Key for all the photographs, to Vice Captain June Lockhart for refereeing the Stewart Cup and to all the spectators who braved the cold winds to support the players.

Shannon McWilliam beats 25-year-old Aboyne 

course record with an eagle 2 at the last

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Shannon McWilliam, 16-year-old Junior Vagliano Trophy team player for GB and I, has beaten the 25-year-old Aboyne Golf Club's women's course record.

Shannon shot a seven-under-par 65 in the club's women's championship first qualifying round this week - two shots inside the old record of 67 set by Julie Forbes in August 1991.
McWilliam had an eagle, six birdies and one bogey in halves of 31 (four under par) and 34 (three  under).
Her figures were:
OUT: 3-4-3 3-4-4 4-3-3 - 31
    IN: 4-5-3 4-3-4 4-5-2 - 34
After her only three-putt bogey at the 17th hole, Shannon needed a par 4 at the 18th to equal Julie Forbes mark or a birdie to better it.
In fact, she hit a tremendous drive on to the green and holed a 3ft putt for an eagle 2!
Her birdies came at the first, third, seventh, ninth, 10th and 16th.
Shannon, who lives at Torphins and is a pupil at Aboyne Academy, will be 17 years old on August 8.
 Her mother Julie said:
" Unfortunately Shannon is not able to play in the Scottish ladies championship at West Kilbride next week, due to having her Higher exams. She is hoping to go to college in America but it will all depend on her exam results."

Curtis Cup player Charlotte Thomas in winning team

Washington wins wildly dramatic NCAA 

Championship over Stanford

By Kevin Casey

GOLF WEEK.COM

Washington’s Ying Luo, Charlotte Thomas (second from left), Wenyung Keh and Sarah Rhee celebrate winning the 2016 NCAA Championship. (Tracy Wilcox)

EUGENE, Oregon – Somehow it got even better than last year.
Stanford was there again, clutch shots were executed and the repeat happened. Only not how you may think.
This time Washington, a Pac-12 team ranked outside the top 10, just like the 2015 national champion Cardinal group, felt the magic – and there was a lot of it.
 For the second straight day, an incredible hole out for the Huskies ultimately proved the turning point at Eugene Country Club.
On Tuesday evening, it was freshman Sarah Rhee holing a bunker shot for birdie on the first extra hole of her match, essentially dashing No. 1 seed UCLA’s hopes in the semi-finals. The next day, the change wasn’t as immediate but maybe more dramatic.
Senior Ying Luo, 1 up in her match against Casey Danielson, faced some 61 yards for her third shot on the par-4 18th. If she could hold off the Cardinal junior, the Huskies chances at victory would jump to near-lock status.
At that point, a difficult pitch over a ridge to a back pin needed to be executed precisely for a key par. She didn’t get the up-and-down.
She holed her wedge shot instead.

“It’s quite a tricky pitch shot and you have to land it perfectly on the slope,” Luo said. “I couldn’t believe it went in.”

The opposing coach could only admire in awe.

“It almost seems like there was divine intervention for them with yesterday and today,” said Anne Walker, Stanford’s Scottish-born head coach.

To her point: somehow, yet again, somebody predicted a key pitch shot to drop.

On Tuesday, teammate Wenyung Keh, a fellow freshman, felt Rhee was going to hole her bunker shot. In the finals? Andrea VanderLende, Washington’s associate head coach, walking with Luo, offered the thought directly.

“I told her you can make this shot,” VanderLande said. “She walked back and said, ‘I want to be like Sarah.’ “

And oh boy, that was somehow just the start of everything. Play would continue for nearly another HOUR after that.

What happened in the meantime? Oh, not much.

Freshman Julianne Alvarez lost a dormie 3-up lead, two matches were in playoffs simultaneously and two more epic wedge shots – Alvarez knocked an 81-yard shot to 18 inches to save par on the first extra hole (No. 10) and then pitched up to within inches for another par on the second (No. 18) – were needed before everything was decided.

Then there was the mystery of when Washington actually won. Alvarez had been prone to some entertaining freshman mistakes this week. First, an alarm fiasco on Friday, and then beginning to go out toward the green and celebrate (twice!) for Rhee before her semi-final match was officially over Tuesday.

As she stood on the 17th hole on Wednesday, 1 up in her match against Lauren Kim, Alvarez started celebrating, mistakenly believing that Washington had won the championship.

Although this one wasn’t her fault, as she and Mulflur were told that by a TV personnel walking with them.

“She came running into my arms and jumping around,” Mulflur said. “And then it’s like, wait, ‘Are you sure?’ “

Good that she asked, because it wasn’t done. Alvarez would, in fact, play three-and-a-half more holes before she finished. The final three of those were with her forearms fully tingling, “an ethereal, surreal experience,” as nerves and adrenaline mixed together.

When Kim’s 15-foot par putt on the second extra hole missed right – “the speed was a little off and I think I could have aimed more inside the hole,” Kim said – giving the Huskies the national title, they weren’t even sure.

Freshman Wenyung Keh audibly asked, “Did we just win?” Senior Charlotte Thomas, who will play for GB and I in the upcoming Curtis Cup match at Dun Laoghaire GC, near Dublin, from June 20 to 12, thought Alavarez still had a 3-4 footer to hole. And Mulflur froze, on account of the earlier mistake.

“I stopped and paused in my mind for a moment,” Mulflur said, “I wanted to make sure, sure it was over.”

It was this time around, as Washington triumphed 3-2. The Huskies were national champions for the first time in school history, doing so with a three-freshmen, two-senior line-up at the NCAA Championship, and a five-freshmen, two-senior roster as a whole.

If it wasn’t the most improbable victory in NCAA Championship history, it was up there. Mulflur, in her 33rd year at Washington, had never come particularly close to a national championship before this year.

Then there was the spectre of that odd line-up construction, which Mulflur said Tuesday took some time to gel but the chemistry proved remarkably strong come spring time.

Still, Mulflur doesn’t often stick to the conventional methods. The Huskies went on two retreats (one fall, one spring) this year, and Mulflur likes her players to be uncomfortable (Be Comfortable Being Uncomfortable is the team motto of 2015-16).

Before the start of the first spring tournament, the Regional Challenge at Palos Verdes, Calif., this season, Mulflur brought her team out for a fun 18 holes at Astoria Golf and Country Club in Warrenton, Oregon. Except…

“We told them on the first tee, this is the first round of qualifying for the spring,” Mulflur said. “They had no idea until right then.”

That’s how it goes on a Mulflur squad. By the way, the Huskies won that first spring tournament.

While Washington only won once more the remainder of the spring before NCAAs, the confidence of that victory carried over throughout.

But before 2014-15, when the Huskies rose to No. 1 in the rankings and held there throughout the spring despite an NCAA Championship quarterfinal loss to USC, a national championship didn’t appear in the cards.

The freshmen aspect is much talked about, but to truly appreciate the growth, look to the seniors.

Thomas, of Surrey, England, said, as a freshman, she didn’t even know what the NCAA Championship was until halfway through the fall.

 Luo, arriving from Shenzhen, China, barely knew much of anything about the United States, let alone college golf’s nuances, when she arrived four years ago.

“I picked her up in the airport in Seattle and I took her into campus via highway 99,” Mulflur said. “You’re kind of close to the water, and the city’s to the right. I looked across at her, and she’s just grinning from ear to ear, and she just goes, ‘I can’t believe I’m finally here.’ “

Now look at those two. While Thomas lost her match, 2 and 1, to Shannon Aubert, she was the senior leader on the squad, and Luo’s heroics speak for themselves.

For Mulflur, the win was a nice way to circle things back. It wasn’t the first time she had won at Eugene Country Club. That came at, as she recalls, the 1967 Oregon Pee-Wee Junior Girls, where she shot 72 in nine holes to earn medalist honors.

“I called my dad up and I said, ‘I think I’m in trouble, somebody called me a medalist,’ ” Mulflur said. “I had no idea what it was.”

Nearly a half-century later, she has some national championship hardware to add to her Eugene collection.

The Huskies have been taking part in “car karaoke” all week, (see more on that here), and Tuesday night’s rendition was of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”

It’s Mulflur’s turn to perform Wednesday night. The team said that they’ve already decided the song for her: “We Are The Champions.”

“I think that’s probably a good call,” Mulflur said.

It took an extra hour to be sure, but they can sing it now. We Are The Champions, indeed.
