Almost 200 young Scots will tee it up in Perthshire this week as the Scottish Boys and Girls Amateur Championships get underway at Blairgowrie.
The Girls’ Amateur Championship will be held on Blairgowrie’s Rosemount course. The format for this event will be an initial 36 holes of strokeplay qualifying held on Friday 19th July before the top 16 progress to the knockout stages held over the weekend. The next best 16 nett scores will also qualify for a handicap matchplay flight held over the same days.
The highest ranked player in this week’s Girls’ Amateur will be Aboyne’s Carmen Griffiths who will be looking to win the trophy for the first time. Griffiths was a member of the Junior Vagliano team in June and will look to take inspiration from her Aboyne clubmate Kimberly Beveridge’s recent triumph in the Scottish Women’s Amateur.
Home hopes will lie with Katy Alexander who recently made it to the last-16 of the Scottish Women’s Amateur at Edzell.
Prestwick St Nicholas’s Rachel Foster will also be hoping for a good week after reaching the quarter final stage of the Women’s Amateur last month.
