Scottish Girls' (Close) Amateur Championship - Strokeplay - Results
Dumfries and County Golf Club
The 2014 tournament had a very low entry of only 41 girls and as a result the normal 36 hole strokeplay qualifying over 2 days was reduced to 36 holes in one day. The tournament was further altered by reducing the number of girls qualifying for the 2 matchplay flights to 16 and 8 instead of the normal 32 and 16.
The practice day weather was very good in comparison to the first day of the tournament. The 41 girls had to endure heavy rain and windy conditions in the morning round and although mainly dry in the afternoon the wind strengthened making scoring tricky again.
The CSS's for the morning and afternoon rounds were 74 and 72 respectively.
East Lothian county girls certainly rose to the occasion with Clara Young scoring 72 and 73 for a one over par total to qualify for the matchplay stages in pole position. Joanne Free scored 79 and 77 and Charlotte Munro scored 78 and 78, both accruing totals of 156, twelve over par. Joanne took qualifying position 9 due to having the lower second round score. Charlotte therefore qualified in 10th position.
The prize giving for the strokeplay stages of the tournament took place after play on the Wednesday and all 3 East Lothian girls came away with vouchers. Clara for individual and aggregate scratch prizes and Joanne and Charlotte received individual and aggregate nett prizes.
Congratulations to our 3 stars.
