From East Vets Captain,   Caroline Kinnaird

The ESVLGA Spring Meeting was held on Tuesday 11th April at Gullane No 3.
Despite very strong winds there were some great scores.
Congratulations to the winner Dorothy Thomson who was 4 under CSS.
The strong winds caused putting to be very difficult with the 4th green proving to be the hardest, with many tales of woe being told in the clubhouse.
Well done to all 66 ladies who braved the elements and congratulations to those who produced great scores.
The CSS was 71 an increase of two on the SSS 69. Par 69.

SCOTTISH VETS BEAT THE IRISH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2009 TO WIN MARY McKENNA TROPHY

The Scottish Veteran Ladies Golf Association team beat the Irish senior women's team 6.5 to 5.5 at Murcar Links Golf Club today to win the Mary McKenna Trophy for the first time since 2009.
Scotland took a 1pt lead in the first-day foursomes and just managed to hold on to that advantage by drawing the singles 4-4.
The Irish had won the last seven years in this fixture in which the venue alternates between Scotland and Ireland.
The vital Scottish victories in the singles came from Lorna McKinlay (Midland), Gillian Kyle (West) and Aberdeen Ladies stalwart Sheena Wood (Northern).
Donna Jackson (West) and Buckpool's Meg Seivwright (Highland) halved their singles.
It must be the North-east air that inspires the Scots Vets. The 2009 victory was achieved at Cruden Bay!
