The Scottish Ladies Golfing

in the European girls' team championship
at Golf National, Paris from July 6 to 10.
The team of four is: Clare-Marie Carlton
(Fereneze), Gemma Webster (Hilton Park), Roseanne Niven
(Crieff), Krystle Caithness (St Regulus). Reserves: 1 Kylie Walker
(Buchanan Castle), 2 Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar).

surgery and she missed the girls' home internationals after starting the
season in a blaze of glory by becoming, at the age of 16, one of the
youngest ever Renfrewshire women's champions. A trip to Paris is a
delayed reward for the outstanding early season form of 2003.

will spearhead a strong Scotland squad to compete in the
European junior women (Under-21) team championship
at Royal Cinque Ports, Kent from July 6 to 10.

18th May 2004: The Wind Blows at Old Prestwick !!
Surprise Surprise !!
|
The first qualifying round
of the Scottish Women's
Amateur Championship
was played today with a strong westerly wind
blowing over the ancient and potentially awesome
Prestwick links.
With the clubhouse and car park awash with tales of players'
calamities from countless out of bounds
excursions, visits to bottomless bunkers shored up with railway sleepers
and rough with a capital "R,"
it was a real struggle for all the players
(Thanks to Colin Farquharson for the info)
Kate O'Sullivan
(Cochrane Castle)
was the best from
RLCGA with a gross 83 on a day when only
7 players broke 80 !!
