INTER COUNTY MATCHES - THANK YOU

Congratulations to Ayrshire on winning the Inter County Matches at Barassie this week. We wish you all the very best at the County Finals in September.

On behalf of the Lanarkshire team I would like to thank:

Ann Prentice our Honorary President who spent many hours on the course offering support and encouragement to all the players.

Jean Macintyre for ensuring food and drinks were available for players and caddies, for the many photographs taken over the 3 days and various other tasks leading up to the matches.

Anne Lloyd and her enthusiastic group of caddies. The caddies were superb and despite the awful weather on Tuesday and Wednesday they did a fantastic job keeping the players and their clubs dry. Thank you ladies!

Finally, to the members and friends who came to support the team over the 3 days and for the many cards and messages received.

Unfortunately results did not go our way this week but hopefully they will one day soon.
