Ladies Championship Final
Morag Key
Morag Key Plays Anne Douglas
An 18 hole final which starts of with a large following, both players compete well and nobody ran away with this match, Morag played the 17th with a one hole lead and with a putt to take the Championship on the 17th green, the ball stopped on the holes edge. On the 18th both Players made Par for Morag to attain her 11th- yes that’s Eleven- Club Championship. Well played Morag but we are sure Anne has many more final appearances to come.
