22nd December 2005: Clare- Marie Carlton and
Jennifer Jenkins keep the flag flying for Renfrewshire
|
Jennifer Jenkins (Ralston) and Clare
Marie Carlton (Fereneze) who both received certificates from Renfrewshire County Council for
Outstanding Sporting Achievements in 2005 are in the limelight
again.
The University of Stirling is to send its six best female golfing
students to Florida next month
to
compete in two events on the prestigious Orange Blossom Tour.
Clare-Marie joins
Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), Dawn Dewar (Monifieth),
and English-born Alex Marshall, Olivia Briggs and Emma Tipping,
on the trip.
The players will spend almost three weeks in Florida preparing for and
competing in the Jones/Doherty Amateur Championship at Coral Ridge
Country Club and the Women’s International four-ball event hosted by
Orangebrook Country Club.
It is almost 14 years since Catriona Matthew, then a Stirling University
golf scholarship student and now the most successful Scottish player
ever to play on the LPGA Tour, made the same trip and brought home the
Jones/Doherty Cup. Jenny Jenkins (Ralston),
the Scottish girls’ match-play
champion in 1988, will be on double international duty next year. First
she leads the Scotland squad at the European Under-21 junior women’s
team championship at Golf Club de Pan, Netherlands from July to 15.
Scotland has only ever landed one female European team title at any
level. That was in 1980 when the Scots were winners of the European
Under-21s’ title in Austria.
Jenny will
again skipper the Scotland team in the Under-18 girls’ home
internationals at Portstewart, Northern Ireland from August 9 to 11. |

thro' quickly enough on dial up. The next one I try I will see if there is
a way you can see it on both broadband and dial up

8th December 2005: SGU Under Review
|
The Scottish Golf Union, the
governing body for the men's amateur game, is to undergo a review four
years after its last restructure.
A three man independent review will be chaired by
Craig Reedie, husband of
RLCGA member Rosemary (Ranfurly Castle).
Craig is a keen golfer, international
Olympic Committee member and has also chaired the British
Olympic Association for the last 13 years
Two main issues to be considered are the make up and division of
responsibilities of the SGU board and executive council and the
role of area associations and clubs. |

7th December 2005: The Age of Technology !!!
|
 LGU Press Release
LADIES’ GOLF UNION EMBRACES NEW TECHNOLOGY
This year the Ladies’ Golf Union
introduced, for all championships, web-based online entries and
encouraged by the success is proceeding with an updated online system
for 2006.
Though the 2005 system was introduced late in the entry process, over
80% of all entries were received electronically.
Susan Simpson, Director of Championships of the LGU said: "We
believe we are the only British-based golf governing body to have such a
system in place. The adoption of the technology has been a huge asset to
the players and administrators alike."
"It has dramatically cut down administration but more importantly has
made our championship entry process much more accessible worldwide. It
is interesting to note that in 2005, tournament entries overall rose by
10% and we believe this to be mainly down to our online system. We
realistically expect over 90% of all entries next year to come through
that route."
The LGU has always recognized the
need to stay at the cutting edge of technology. Championship services
now include automatic text messaging of tee times and cuts, WAP scoring
to mobile phone handsets and online live scoring at all events.
At the moment we can publish our
RLCGA results after a competition to the howdidido website
plus also send the CSS, SSS, and winners to your mobile phone if set up.
