DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

P&K MEMBERS LOSE OUT IN THE  SEMI FINALS OF THE DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

P&K members Carol and Gwen Lambie have just contacted me with the sad news that they lost their semi-final match this morning against Sandiway.

Carol and Gwen certainly did not go down without a fight they took the match all the way to the 18th green. To lose out so close to the final is very disappointing for them both. Gwen said she was 'gutted' however I think they should both be very proud of themselves getting so far in what is deemed to be the biggest national competition in the world, where, according to the Daily Mail website, some 190,000 players take part in the qualifying stages. So very well done to make it to the semi finals.

Enjoy the remainder of your time in Wales.

P&K COUPLE IN FINAL

P&K COUPLE MAKE DAILY MAIL FOURSOME


Team member Gwen Lambie along with her Mum and Junior Convenor Carol Lambie have made their way to the semi finals of the Daily Foursome Finals in Wales tomorrow.

Gwen and Carol sailed through the two qualifying rounds today winning 4&3  in the morning and 3&2 this afternoon. Tomorrow they will be on the tee at 8.16am against Sandyway.

P&K are all rooting for them GOOD LUCK!! 

FIRST HOLE IN ONE FOR EMILY

EMILY BAGS HER FIRST ACE

Team player Emily Ogilvy holed her first ever ace on the 6th hole at Strathmore Golf Centre today. I am also delighted to say that I, along with Janet Griffiths and Jackie Moran was there to witness the perfect shot.

Emily said she felt quite emotional and was extremely excited to have at last had a hole in one and I for one am delighted for her.

Well done Emily!

The next 16 players will qualify for the second flight to play for the Ansley Reid Salver.

Rachael Watton, Mortonhall leads the Scottish Girls' qualifying at Eyemouth Golf Club after the first round. Her level par 73 is three shots ahead of Gillian Scanlon, Hamilton and four clear of Lesley Atkins, Gullane.

Two girls are competing from P&K they are Eilidh Watson (Muckhart) and Hannah Robb (Strathmore). Hannah kindly contacted me with an update of the scores and conditions at Eyemouth. She said the putting was particularly difficult with fast greens and tricky pin positions making the scoring hard. Hannah returned a scratch score of 88 which at present places her just outside the qualifying in joint 34th position, Eilidh returned a 83 placing her tied 18th.

So all to play for. Good luck girls and I will try to keep you all informed of the scores today.

Unfortunately we only had one representative in the Championship and two in the H/cap section of the North of Scotland they were Emily Ogilvy who qualified in 5th position with a 77 in the scratch section and our County Captain Lenore Kyle and Sandy Bushby who qualified in the Handicap section.

Emily was drawn against Rebecca Wilson and unfortunately lost the match 4&3, Lenore also lost her first round match against Gail Wilson 2&1 however Sandy won her first match against youngster Kristen MacCallum 1 hole but unfortunately lost to Ann Hay in the afternoon match 3&2.

The final of the event takes place today but as of yet, I do not have the results.

COUNTY JAMBOREE

Althought the result was not in our favour the Northern Division Inter County Matches were very enjoyable. All our girls played their hearts out, the games were very close and it was unfortunate that some matches didn't go our way.

Very many thanks to all the team for their complete dedication.

Also thanks to everyone involved in the organisation and all who came along to caddy and support the team.

I want to say a special thank you to Blairgowrie Golf Club for hosting this event and making all the teams feel so welcome.

We wish Angus County all the very best for the finals at Bothwell Castle on

17th - 19th September.

Above are some photos of the weekend at Jamboree! Enjoy!

ANGUS WIN THE NORTH DIVISION INTER-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

Angus are worthy winners of the Jamboree this weekend after winning in all three matches this weekend. Northern Counties and Aberdeenshire tied for 2nd however Northern took that slot bu virtue of games won by. Our team fought all weekend however did not win on any day therefore finished in 4th position.

Emily Ogilvy was our top point scorer with 4.5 points out of 6 and was in fact the 2nd top scorer of the weekend,

Our very best wished go to Chris and her team in the Scottish Finals.

Above is a slide show if the weekend.

EMILY POSTS A 79

Emily completed her final qualifying round with a 6 over par 79. Although Emily does not feel she played well she will almost certainly make the matchplay stages which commence tomorrow.

During Emily's round she carded yet another eagle! Quite an achievement.  Well done Emily and I will post details of matchplay stages later.
