MCCALL SALVER FINAL Tuesday 17^th September 2013

The venue was Largs Golf Club for the final between Anne Grant (Prestwick St Nicholas) and Caroline McCreath (Troon Ladies). Both players made it through to the final this being only their 1^st year as members of ALCGA.

 It was a chilly windy day at Largs but players and referee got round dry.

It was a friendly and competitive match with only an exchange of holes at the 4 and 5^th resulting in the match being all square at the 7^th. Anne won the next 3 holes to go 3 up at the 10^th, however Caroline pulled back and at the 15^th Caroline was only 1 Down.. Both players had some lovely chips & the putting was terrific. A long downhill putt on the 17^th sealed the tie for Anne .

 Congratulations to Anne Grant on winning the McCall Salver 2013

Caroline at the 11th
