Ladies British Amateur Championship
Royal St Georges Golf

Day 2
After qualifying for the match play stages Connie was up against it this morning when she was drawn to play the 3rd place qualifier, Luna Sobron from Spain. Unfortunately Connie lost 3&2 this morning but hopefully she has enjoyed the experience and should be proud of getting through to the match play in a high class field of competitors.

The only Scot to survive the first round match play was Gemma Dryburgh from Beaconsfield
Day 1
It wasn't until all the second round scores were in this evening that we learned Connie Jaffrey has qualified for the Matchplay stages of the Championship. At one point it looked like she might have missed out by one shot and at times it looked like there may be a play off for the final places.

Another great achievement for Connie who joins fellow Scots Lauren Whyte (St Regulus), Gemma Dryburgh (Beaconsfield), Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie) and Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) in the knock out stages which begin tomorrow morning.

Good luck Connie

We had a fabulous week weather wise at the Jamboree at Haggs Castle
Golf Club
Our team hit the ball as well as other players from opposing Counties
but we did struggle with the pace of the greens .It was a close call at
the end of the 3 days and our team did well with some very good wins.

Thanks to Vice Captain Liz, Caddie Mistress Eleanor and to all our
Caddies. Many thanks to my girls, I am really proud of the Ayrshire
team.

There is a fantastic atmosphere at the Jamboree and Ayrshire look
forward to hosting the Championship next year. In 2015 the Jamboree
will be held at Loudoun Gowf Club from 15h to 17th June.
