The weather conditions were testing as was the Glasheady Course but it was great to have such a big turnout of ladies of mixed golfing abilities, most of whom said they enjoyed the opportunity to play on such a renowned course.
The outing was won by Tracy Spence who claimed the perpetual Tam O’Shanter, the much coveted annual award!
