After a lean spell in women’s golf inter club competitions between Caithness and Sutherland, Brora and Golspie Golf Clubs regained the two trophies in the annual competition between the two Counties at Brora last Saturday.

Hosts Brora, who were the first winners of the Ord Salver in 1981 and seven time further winners up to 1999, put their name back on the trophy for the eighth time last Saturday when over their home links they returned the winning three score gross aggregate by three shots from Wick Golf Club.

Completing the Sutherland double were Golspie Golf Club whose name last featured on the Beatrice Trophy in 2002 now winning this trophy for a third time.

Brora’s winning aggregate scores came from life member, Marlene Bokas 84, 2009 club champion Lesley Beaney 83, and non resident member Caroline Sutherland-Pilch 93, for a 54 hole total of 260. Three of the four team scores count and non counting for Brora was a 95 from Susan Smith.

The Wick first team of Deirdre MacAngus 85, Marion MacKay 87 and Doreen Cormack 91 for 263 were second in both scratch and handicap aggregates. Wick’s non counting scratch score was from Carol Place but her nett 76 helped combine with MacAngus and MacKays’ nett cards for 231 which finished five strokes behind winners Golspie who had compiled a nett total of 226 from first team members, Anne Macrae (11) 75, Judith MacLeod (22) 72, and Fiona More (20) 79. Completing the Golspie quartet who won the Beatrice Trophy was Caroline Logie.
