By Lyn Banks

IT was a warm but pleasant day at Scone on Thursday, April 21 when the lady golfers played an 18 Hole Stableford for a Royal Hotel Trophy.

A good field turned out and the winner Julie Leckie, in a purple patch of form, had 39 points.

Sarah Howey made a welcome return to the course and had 36 points.

She was runner up on a countback from Cheryl Clydsdale who was also having her first 18 holes for the season.

Sue Watts won the NTP on the 17th with a good shot to 3.3 metres.

Ball winners were: Julie Leckie 39, Sarah Howey, Cheryl Clydsdale 36, Wendy Clift 33 and Lyn Banks 32 points.

The crows again caused havoc with much yahoo and chasing being to no avail on occasions.
