West Girls' Fun Day
I went along to the Fun Day at Glasgow Indoor Golf Centre on Sunday. Organised by the West of Scotland Girls' Association committee members and lead by Karyn Burns, 22 girls had an action-packed 3 hours.
The afternoon started with half an hour of golf specific exercises which very quickly got the girls warmed up! This was followed by a rules quiz, then in groups of 7 or 8, the girls rotated round three bases:- simple drills to improve putting skills: pitching with specific emphasis on distance control: and full swing where Karyn took a video of each girl and pointed out something to work on.
Rachel Foster (Turnberry), Sarah Ramsay and Claire McPherson (West Kilbride) were all there on the day I attended. Another of these days had been held the previous week. Pictured are Sarah and Claire.
Great to see so many girls learning more about the game, and judging by the smiles and happy faces, having fun at the same time!

Scottish Girls' Under 21's Open Stroke-Play
4 Ayrshire girls played
in the Under 21's tournament at Inverness Golf Club this week..... Connie
Jaffrey, Katie McGarva, Hazel McGarvie and Lauren Gilbert. Steady scores from
Lauren 92 and two 94's, Katie started well on 79 but slipped to 85 and 89, Hazel
was good on 77, 78 and 82 while Connie fresh from winning the Scottish matchplay
championship last week followed this up with three very consistent rounds, 72,
74 and 75 to finish +2 for the championship and in 5th place - very
well done!
Connie is Scottish Girls' Champion!
Played over Ranfurly Castle in scorching sunshine, Connie's golf was as hot as the weather! In 3rd equal place, her qualifying scores of 76 and 78 (SS 74) put her in the 5th seeded spot. She had two wins before coming up against the holder Lauren Whyte whom she defeated by 4 & 2 to secure a place in the semi-finals where she met Nicola Robertson who put out the 2010 champion Lesley Atkins in the quarter finals. Again Connie went on to win, this time by 5 & 4. The No.2 seed Tara McTaggart was her opponent in the final. I watched every shot being struck and don't have enough superlatives to describe the quality of golf from both girls. Their slender frames belie the distance these girls hit the ball, and with an accuracy akin to those in the professional ranks. Combined with superb putting this match was spectacular to watch and it was a privilege to be there. Connie was 4 under par for the 15 holes to win by 4 & 3. Very well done Connie from all of Ayrshire, and many congratulations on getting your full Scottish junior cap. Best of luck for the Home Internationals at St. Anne's next month. Katie, Rachel, Emma, Hazel and Lauren were also competing at Ranfurly. Katie, Emma and Hazel qualified in the top 32 but went out in the first round, while Lauren made it into the next 16, losing in her 1st round at the 20th. June FRIENDLY MATCH V D & A

Friendly Match
The Ayrshire Girls team lost 4-1 to Lanarkshire in the friendly match played at Bothwell Castle on Sunday. However, all the games were very close and finished either on the 17th or 18th. All the girls coped very well on an afternoon which had a few nasty rain showers making conditions a bit unpleasant at times. Well done to both teams.

Connie Jaffrey had a slightly disappointing 81 on the first day but posted a fine 75 on Day 2. Emma Hale had a good start with a 76 on Day 1 but slipped to an 83 the following day, while Hazel McGarvie had an 83 and 77, both excellent rounds for a 10 handicapper. Hazel's impressive second round won her the prize for the Best Nett in the under 13 category. Well done to Hazel!! Connie was a member of Scotland's 1st team who finished runners-up to Italy in the team event. The weather was pretty cold for both days so not the easiest of conditions but this didn't seem to hinder the competitors who executed an extremely amazing high standard of golf. |
