Morison Millar 2022
Having won the event in 2021, Baberton entered this year's event as defending champions. Two Baberton Teams battled through 36 holes over the very tricky Braids No 1 course. The wind made the course even harder, not to mention the gorse bushes! Some excellent golf was played and at the end of the day Baberton Team A came runners up to Turnhouse A. No trophy for Baberton this year but a great performance none the less.
Well done to both teams!
Baberton Team A: Nicky Graham & Jackie Bracewell, Laura Reekie & Adrienne Turner
Team B: Margaret Alexander & Ella Marshall, Olga Greenan & Julie Robb
