JUNIOR GIRLS COACHING AT GLENEAGLES

Five girls attended the 1st Junior Girls coaching Session at Gleneagles on Sunday on a beautiful morning. The girls were given coaching by Matt Galley and showed great enthusiasm.

JUNIOR NEWS FROM SCOTTISH GIRLS OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS

It was good to meet some of the County's newest recruits and their mums at Noah's Ark on Friday.

Niall McGill welcomed Mollie Castle, Georgia McKay and Ailie Ross-Oliver. The girls immediately got down to swinging their 7 irons at a big basket of golf balls, whilst Niall assessed their methods.  Each girl then worked on an individual aspect of their golf game before finishing the coaching session with some valuable putting techniques.

The next session will be Sunday 1st May, 10am at Noah's Ark and hopefully there will be a full turn out of six girls.

Meanwhile up at Strathmore Golf Centre Kirsty Brodie, Zoe Morton, Megan Ashley and Amy Mitchell were competing in the Scottish Girls (under 18) Golf Open (6th, 7th and 8th April). This was a strong representation from our County girls amongst a field of competitors from UK, Norway, Germany, Denmark, etc and even one girl from Dubai. The format is 18 holes stroke play each day with the top 60 qualifying for the final stroke play round on Friday.

Kirsty played on the final day and finished 18th equal with a total of 222. The winner was Emily Price from England on 213. Our congratulations to our County girls and well done Amy Mitchell, who had a late call up to play in the Championship and after carding a 77 on day two, only narrowly missed playing in the final 60. 

Scottish Girls Open Championships (Under 18)

The  competition is being held at Strathmore Golf Club from 6th - 8th April.

3 of our County Girls are taking part in the Competition - Kirsty Brodie, Zoe Morton & Megan Ashley with Amy Mitchell currently 2nd on the waiting list - so fingers crossed that Amy also gets in.

(HOT OFF THE PRESS - Amy got a late call up this morning and is delighted to be in the line up!)

Good Luck to the girls.

Anyone wishing to go along to the event to watch and support the girls would be most welcome.
