Ladies Championship 2004

The Ladies Championship, the Fleming Quaich was won for the third time by Kath Mackellar after a splendid round of controlled golf, in what can only be described as gale-force conditions. Both she and her fellow finalist, last year's champion Aileen Donaldson, played golf of the highest quality, and scoring in the outward nine was very close indeed with Aileen winning at the ninth hole to bring the match back to all square. At the tricky tenth, Kath produced yet another perfectly straight, long drive plus a well judged nine iron to reach the green, and her two putts for par enabled her to go 1-up once again. The easterly wind at this point was making it difficult to stand still and both ladies had a real battle to half this par 3 in 5. During this Aileen's heavy electric trolley took off down a gulley in dramatic fashion, shedding its battery on the way to indicate just how strong the wind was! Both tee shots at the twelfth went right into the heavy rough and Kath's provisional ball then went into the left rough. Aileen's ball was found but was unplayable and Kath could only hack her ball a shortway up the fairway. Aileen eventually reached the green in 4 while Kath needed to chip in from about 20 yards for a 7! She did exactly that for the shot of the day and came off with half as Aileen struggled on the green to 3 putt. Kath then won the 13th and 14th holes to go 3 up but yet again Aileen fought back on the 15th with a well crafted par 5. to win one back. On the short 16th with the wind behind, both tee shots went through the green but Kath once more produced a beautifully executed chip to leave a shortish putt for par. This she sank to win the match and her third championship. Congratulations to Kath but all credit to both ladies for producing such exciting golf under extreme conditons. A thrilling climax to one of the best championships for years.
