Its been a fantastic week both weather wise and for our lady golfers taking part in the Scottish Senior Women’s Open Championships being held at Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club. Ayrshire’s very own Alex Glennie won then Strokeplay Championship with a fantastic score of 70 (2 under par) in the second round, giving her a six over par total of 150. An Ayrshire win in the scratch is never enough for our ladies, with Liz Keohone scooping up the best net score too! Well done ladies, those bountys are working a treat. ✂ ✂ 🥥 👍🏼💪A full rundown of the scores can be found here . These fantastic scores meant that both Alex and Liz qualified for the scratch matchplay, with both unfortunately being knocked out in the first round. However fear not ladies!
