KIRSTY BRODIE PERFORMS WELL AT UNDER 14'S

Junior Member Kirsty Brodie (Strathmore) led the Under 14's Girls Championship at Fortrose this weekend after producing an excellent two over par 73 in the first round. At this point Kirsty led the championship by three shots. However baring in mind Kirsty is only 13, nerves got the better of her in the final days play when she returned a disappointing (for her) 84.

The two card total of 157 placed Kirsty in joint 2nd along with 5 other players but unfortunately missed out on the 2nd and 3rd prize by virtue of better last card. The winner of the Championship was Aberdeenshire's Shannon McWilliam who returned scores of 75 and 79.

An excellent performance by Kirsty who at the age of 13 is now playing off 5.

JUNIORS AT THE RICOH WOMEN'S OPEN

P&K Junior Girls had a great day at the Open on Saturday. Here is a report sent in by Lenore Kyle.

A group of nine juniors and five adults led by our Captain, Pat, headed off to St Andrews on Saturday 3rd August for the RICOH British Women’s Open. We had a really great day despite not seeing much golf, due to play being suspended because of strong winds, the girls were obviously disappointed but still managed to enjoy themselves. They had their faces painted, putted, saw the Solheim Cup and had hats signed by Suzann Petterson. So it was certainly not a wasted day.

The girls were great fun to be with and we were very proud of our P&K Juniors.

Many thanks to the R&A for providing free adult tickets and covering the cost of our transport to and from the course.

These are some photos of our trip I received from Megan Thom.
