Scottish Girls' (Close) Amateur Championship - Matchplay - Results

First match of the day teed off at 8.30 a.m. with Clara Young v's Claire Robertson (Carnoustie Ladies Golf Club). Claire got off to a steady start with only two bogeys in the first 9 holes and having holed some lengthy putts to save pars to be 3 up on Clara. The 10th hole was halved in birdies again both players holing 30ft and 25ft putts. Clara managed to get back to being only 1 down with two holes to go but lost the 17th and lost the match 2&1.

Meanwhile our other two girls were performing well in round 1.

Joanne Free took on Emma Hale (Troon Ladies Golf Club) 8th qualifier. Joanne was level par for 14 holes with 3 bogeys and 3 birdies. Emma was 5 over par for 14 holes resulting in a superb 5&4 victory for Joanne.

Charlotte Munro took on Hazel McGarvie (Troon Ladies Golf Club). Both players had a mixture of birdies and bogeys in the front nine holes with Hazel slightly ahead at 1 up. Over the next 3 holes Charlotte had turned the tables and with a birdie on 12 took the lead to be 1 up. Hazel was not giving in easily and matched Charlottes birdie on 13 and won 14 and 15 with pars to get back to 1 up! Charlotte kept the head and with steady pars on 16 and 17 turned the tables once again and won on the 18th with a half in bogeys to win 1 up.

The afternoon quarter finals commenced with the first match between Claire Robertson and Joanne Free. Claire had a very steady front 9 holes being level par. She was 3 up through 7 but Joanne eagled the 8th to turn into the back nine only 2 down. A birdie at 10 and bogey at 11 were good enough to get the score back to all square. Hazel birdied the 12th to go 1 up but a birdie at 14 and a par at 15 got Joanne back to 1 up with 3 to play. The last three holes were halved and Joanne won on the 18th 1 up. This secured her a spot in Fridays semi final.

The last quarter final match out was Charlotte Munro v's Fiona Liddell (Gutersloh Golf Club) a german based Scot. Both players were 4 and 3 over par after 7 holes and with a half in birdies on 8 the scoreline remained A/S. Charlotte lost the 9th with a double bogey and although she parred the next 5 holes she was 3 down due to Liddells birdies on 10 and 12. The match finished on the 15th and Charlottes championship ended with a 4&3 defeat.

Joannes semi final match was against Heather Munro (Monifieth Golf Club). The scorline was very close throughout with the margin never more than 1 up for either player. Heather took the lead on the 3rd with a par to a bogey but after halves in par on the 4th and bogeys on the 5th Joanne got back to A/S with a birdie 2 on the 6th. The 7th and 8th were halved in par 5's and Joanne went 1 up with a par 3 win on the 9th. Three holes later, however, the lead had changed hands again as Heather won the 11th and 12th with a par and birdie. Over holes 13, 14 and 15 Joanne fought back and with a birdie on 13 and pars on 14 and 15 she had moved back to 1 up. The long uphill par 3 16th was halved in good pars which had Joanne looking in good position. Unfortunately a bogey 5 on 17 lost her the hole to go back to A/S and a par on the 18th from Heather was good enough to clinch the match by 1 hole.

Although Joanne will be disappointed in defeat she put up a superb fight and played some very good golf throughout her championship as did Charlotte and Clara. East Lothian Ladies are very proud of their efforts and wish both Joanne and Charlotte good luck at Alloa GC in the Scottish Ladies' Junior Open Stroke Play event 23 - 25 August.

Well done girls!

3 East Lothian Girls in the top 10!

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.

East Lothian Hat Trick - County Finals Here We Come!!

Day 3 kicked off with less sunshine and more breeze, which, from a home advantage point of view, was not completely unwelcome. Our tee times were later with being drawn in the second match so our team had more rest for the 36 holes to come.

Starting the final day in pole position was a great effort from the team and we took strength from the fact that we had been victorious over the two teams that had already won against our final opponents. 

I am delighted to report that the morning foursomes finished with East Lothian in the lead with 2 wins and 1 loss. The afternoon singles got off to a good start with a convincing 5 and 4 win from Lesley Atkins which bumped the scoreline up to 3 points. We now only needed 1 1/2 points more to clinch victory. While the 2nd match between Keren Ward and Kate McIntosh was still alive and close the 3rd match out finished in a win for Midlothian.  Match 2 ended on the 18th with a great 1 Up win to East Lothian so now only 1/2 a point required..........

Our 4th match was another tight affair between Joanne Free and Emily Dalgetty and went the full distance resulting in a narrow defeat for us with a 1 up win to Midlothian. Meanwhile bringing up the rear were Charlotte Munro in match 5 against Alison McBride and Dawn Young versus Kirsten Blackwood in match 6. Thankfully by the time match 6 reached the 17th green sitting at 1 down it became evident that Charlotte Munro in match 5 had done a Martin Kaymer and clinched the last point we needed to win the title. Match 6 finished on the 18th green as a half match making the overall scoreling 3 1/2 to 5 1/2.

The picture below was taken shortly after the the last ball was struck on the 18th green.

  

Our 2014 County team have been a fantastic example of what can be achieved by mixing seasoned players with the exuberance and confidence of youth. It has been a great experience for all and we look forward to competing together at Hilton Park Golf Cub on 19 to 21 September.

 

A very large thank you goes to North Berwick Golf Club and their Managing Secretary, Chris Spencer, for use of the clubhouse faciities and organising courtesy of the course for the tournament. Thanks also to Tantallon Golf Club for letting us use their meeting room facilities. The course was in impeccable condition and thanks to go to Stuart Greenwood and his staff for their extra work carried out to cater for our tournament needs.
