2ND 3RD and 4TH GO TO P&K GIRLS

Well done to P&K Girls Rianna Thom (Alyth), Hannah Robb (Strathmore), Kathryn Robertson (Auchterarder) and Emily Aird (Strathmore) who have all qualified in the Regional Final of the 2009 Dunfermline Building Society Junior Masters at Alyth yesterday. Rianna took 2nd place with an excellent 39 points! With heavy rain and a cold breeze this was indeed fantastic scoring Rianna! Hannah Robb took third place with an impressive 38 stableford points. This is even more impressive as Hannah began her year playing off a 28 handicap. Hannah has steady lost shot after shot from this handicap and only just received a reduction of 2 shots on Saturday which halved her year start handicap to 14! She didn't stay on 14 long however as this result has reduced her handicap again to 13! Well done Hannah what a fantastic year for you! Kathryn Robertson also returned 38 stableford points and was only pipped by Hannah on a better inward half. Kathryn was delighted by her performance but was disappointed, that although she has qualified to the finals, will be unable to play as she will be on a family holiday in America at that time. Our fourth qualifier was Emily Aird who returned 33 points and was placed 13th. Well done to all girls who certainly put P&K on the map!! The overall winner was Alison Goodwin a 10 handicapper from Glenbervie who had the game of her life posting 43 stableford points!

Teh Final of the 2009 Dunfermline Building Society Junior Master will take place on 11th October over the Queens Course at Gleneagles. We wish our girls well!

NORTH OF SCOTLAND

Just arrived home from what has been an exciting albeit an exhausting week at Newmacher. Emily Ogilvy did our county proud yet again by displaying some fantastic golf. This morning saw a great match between Emily and former Aberdeenshire Champion Donna Pocock. The golf was of an extremely high standard, two holes were especially memorable. The 10th 255 yard par 4 being one. This hole, although short, is guarded by a large pond in front of the green. Most players of Emily's standard would take an iron off the tee to ensure a good pitch shot to the green but Emily wanted a bit more excitement and hit driver! She landed on the green and looked from the tee to be almost in the hole!! Great shot. She also ended the match 2 & 1 by hitting an excellent 2nd shot with a 5 iron onto the par 5 green one foot from the pin! Golf of which I can only dream of!! It truly was a magnificent game.

Between Emily and the North of Scotland trophy stood three times runner up Katy McNicol of Carnoustie ladies. Again the golf of thrilling to watch but unfortunately the game did not go Emily's way and she lost on the 16th 3&2. We are all very proud of Emily.

I took lots of photo's of the tournament including some fun photos from our Ceilidh last night hosted by Aberdeenshire which was really great fun. I will post all the photo's tommorrow. The whole event was run expertly by County Captain Fiona Hay and her team and our thanks go to them for their warm welcome. Also a personal thank you to past County Captain Janet Griffiths who drove me all the way to Newmacher and all the way back staying on to support Emily and caddying for junior member Hannah Robb yesterday. Many thanks also to Lenore for keeping the website up dated whilst I was away.
The above photo is of tournament organiser Karen Stalker (Aberdeenshire CLGA secretary), handicap champion Lauren MacCallum, Emily Ogilvie. scratch champion Katy McNicoll, Lynn Kelly and Aberdeenshire county captain Fiona Hay (images by Cal Carson Golf Agency, click to enlarge).
EMILY IN SEMI-FINAL

Unfortunately Emily Ogilvy and Laura Walker had to play each other after both winning their first round matches in the North of Scotland Championship, after a great match Emily was victorious, she will play Donna Pocock in the semi-final, very best of luck Emily!!

Jane Yellowlees was also unfortunately beaten by Ann Ramsay.

In the Handicap section Hannah Robb did really well to win her first round match against Linda Urquhart, only to be beaten in the second round but it was a great achievement for Hannah.

Sadly Janet Griffiths lost her first round match to Ros Roy. All the girls have done well, congratulations!
