Championship Finals day 2011

In the first semi final of the day Leanne Wilson (Kelso) beat Danielle Ker (Roxburghe), she sunk a putt from off the green on the 16th to seal the match 3 & 2. Ailsa Bain (Peebles) won her semi final against Tara Mactaggart (Minto) on the 15th.

Leanne Wilson, only 14 years old who has a handicap of 16, was last year's bronze division champion. She had played really steady golf over the two days and did extremely well to get to the final but found it difficult against the more experienced 19 year old Ailsa who won easily 7 & 5

Future is looking bright for ladies golf in the Borders!!!
