On Thursday May 19 at Scone Golf Course, the ladies played an 18 Hole Stableford for the Kathy Robinson Trophy.
The windy conditions made the game difficult with the best score being 34 points by Noreen Marshall.
Sue Watts was runner up on 33, and balls went to those two plus Sarah Brooks 32, and then all on 31, Lyn Banks, Fiona Groom and Pam Manning on a countback from three others.
