However, former champion Joanne Wallace made a spirited response in the second round and after a hotly contested final match, was declared the overall winner by one point.
The Thomson Trophy, the club’s handicap prize, was won by Anne Clark with an aggregate score of 147.

“It was lovely to see so many ladies, gents and sponsors attending the celebrations, including some of the section’s more mature ladies who no longer play golf but keep a keen interest in the ladies’ section and the golf club.”
Elizabeth also thanked the Ladies Match and Handicap team for organising the competition in conjunction with the Ladies’ Section Committee, as well as sponsors and those who attended the afternoon tea.
