SCOTTISH GIRLS AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Good luck to two Blairgowrie Members,  Katy Alexander and Megan Ashley,  who are playing on Rosemount in the Scottish Girls' Amateur Championship this week.
All competitors will play two qualifying rounds of stroke-play on Friday before the players with the top 16 scratch scores progress to the match-play at the weekend. From the remainder of the field the players with the top 16 nett scores will qualify for the 

handicap match-play. Please come along and support the girls!

Scotland Girls from L to R: Porscha Wilson, Rachel Foster, Claire Mclaughlin, 
Ellen Caton, Carys Irvine, Katy Alexander, Megan Ashley, 
Carmen Griffiths, Cameron Neilson and Grace Crawford
Last  week Katy and Megan played at Crail in their first Junior Invitational against other girls of similar ages from high schools in the USA....Tennessee, Florida, and others. Scotland was asked to put together 10 Girls to make 2 teams and compete with 1 single match and two 4BBB per team. 

On Day 1 Scotland combined teams won 5.5 out of 6 catapulting both teams into semi finals the following day!  Again 2 out of 3 points for both teams saw a Scotland 1 v Scotland 2 final which was great. 

Scotland 1 managed a 3 nil victory over the second team but all matches were close! 

A great few days of making friends from across the water and working together as a squad.

Thanks go to Karyn Dallas (Scottish Girls Coach) for the report and photograph
