Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) --- the 2010 RLCGA Champion pictured above continued her good run of form with the Scratch prize at our first West of Scotland medal yesterday at Troon Portland. Her score of 73 on a windy day was very pleasing. A few other girls managed to play under their handicaps too so the SSS remained at 75.

Scratch: Eilidh Briggs 73
1st Silver: Emma Caddow (9) 69
2nd Silver: Jorden Ferrie (12) 70

1st Bronze: Alexandra Duffy (27) 76
2nd Bronze: Alexandra Qayum (24) 73

Jorden also won both the silver and bronze medal finals as her handicap had reduced last year from bronze to silver and she had won medals in both sections.

Stableford prize for 29-36 handicaps Kirsten Brown with 45 points

Winner of 9 hole comp for pre-handicap girls Megan McCaig with 41 strokes.

In all 35 girls took part yesterday at Troon Portland and, despite windy conditions making things a little testing,everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event.

The next medal is at Kilmacolm on Sunday 9th May at 10.30am.
