Former Curtis Cup player Carole
Caldwell, who plays off one at Sunningdale, has opened up a three-stroke
lead with a second-round 75 - two over par in very wet conditions - for
a 36-hole tally of 160 in the British
Senior Women's
Open Amateur
Golf Championship at
Portstewart Golf Club, Northern Ireland.
Mrs Caldwell, who played against the United States in 1978 and 1980, had
an opening 85 in the almost gale-force winds which marred the opening
day of the three-round tournament.
She was the only player to break 80 in the second round when the winds
were replaced by very wet weather.
Forty-six players with totals of 179 or better qualified for the third
and final round, which meant that apart from Mrs Williamson, Lynne Terry
(Cruden Bay) 171, Christine McAndrew (Nairn Dunbar) 174,
Jennifer Mack (Haggs Castle) 176 and
Shelagh Quinn (Stirling) 179 made it through to the final day's play. |

13th September 2004: September Medal at Cathcart
Castle Cancelled
|
The September Medal at
Cathcart Castle was cancelled today
when the early rain and strong winds caused entrants not to go out.
(There is no rearranged date)
By late morning when the overhead conditions started to improve,
approximately 14 people decided to venture forth. However, by then, the
course had a few temporary greens and all that was left was to enjoy the
round.Jane
Alexander (pictured right) --- the
2004 Cathcart Castle Club Champion opened her round with
two 2's in the first four holes and
was understandably disappointed that the round was not going to be
valid.
I enjoyed my 10 holes with both Jane and Susan
Roberts (Cathcart Castle) as did all the others who played,
some of them playing all 18 holes.
It was a very disappointing end to the season ---- Lets hope the weather
is better in 2005
Apart from our congratulations to Jane for her 4th
Cathcart Castle Championship win our congratulations also go to
Sandra Gilchrist who has won the
2004
Whitecraigs Club Championship. |
