Report from D&A's Webmistress Jean Campbell from the Carrick yesterday

Lisa Hall had a super round of four under par yesterday and her caddy told us it could have been seven or eight more as she had so many putts that just missed - when she came off the 18th green, Lorna and I were standing waiting for Kylie to come on and Lisa turned to the four volunteers who were there and thanked us for all our work this week and told us it was much appreciated by all the players - how nice.

The photograph shows Lorna Cragie and I with Lisa AND she gave us a couple of golf balls - so now we are her number one fans!!! I did say that we had spoken to her before she went out and that was why she had such a good round - okay so I lied - the photograph was taken at the end!!!!

We went into the pro shop today to book our free round of golf and also to spend our vouchers - had I not been given the vouchers I would have walked back out again - things were just a tad pricey - anyway we did use the vouchers up and have a game booked. It was nice that Nocera won and I am pleased for Boden that she birdied the last hole to gain the second spot on her own - she has been on the leaderboard since the first day. The English girl Hudson had some round today and with five birdies in the last nine holes, she shot up the leaderboard, she must have been so disappointed to drop a shot at the last hole.
I was so busy telling fibs about Lisa Hall that I forgot to mention Kylie - we walked down and watched her get her par at the first hole - she hit a super shot to the short second and got her par there. Her drive at the third was in the centre of the fairway - she had to wait (always) for her two playing partners to play to the green before she played and what an awful shot she played - she put it into the water at the right - dropped the ball and played a poor pitch onto the green and then three putts for a seven at this par four hole.
We just watched her drive at the fourth and I could tell she was not pleased with it and sure enough she did drop another shot there and then she settled down and got it going again and finished six over for today - when you think of these four dropped shots at two holes - but I suppose that is golf - I am very lucky because I do this sort of thing very often and am not put off at all !!!!! I still have that winners acceptance speech in my handbag but feel I must change it as I refer to the king and I believe we now have a queen!!!

Thanks Jean for your excellent report and photograph from the Carrick , Loch Lomond

LGU Press Release - GB & I Curtis Cup Team Final Practice

The Great Britain & Ireland Curtis Cup team arrives in St Andrews tomorrow for a final practice session at the “Home of Golf”.
At the end of this month, the team will face the USA in an historic golf match over The Old Course, St Andrews, playing in a new three day format from 30 May – 1 June.

Ladies Scottish Open starts tomorrow

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Mhairi McKay, Clare Queen and Lynn Kenny are all aiming to become the first Scot to win on home soil since Catriona Matthew won in 1998 when they tee up in the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open at The Carrick on Loch Lomond, which begins on Thursday.
McKay, who now bases herself in Los Alamos, New Mexico, jetted in from Miami on Monday afternoon. The two-time Solheim Cup player is the most high profile Scottish player in the field. She won her sole professional tournament at the AAMI Australian Women’s Open.
However, with a share of fifth place at last year’s event - played later in the season - on the same golf course, Kenny tied as the leading Scot and hopes to improve on her career best performance in front of the home galleries this time.
“I’ve got good memories from it from last year. I was cruising along at a different level. It was good,” Kenny said. “I think it’s about time I started winning. The last couple of years I’ve been biding my time and I think I’m ready to get some top 10s and top-five finishes; start challenging for titles instead of just making up the numbers.
“I think now I’ve signed a new deal with TaylorMade I feel like a real professional! I’ve got a caddie on the bag so everything is falling into place nicely. I think it’s about time I made a move.”
Queen has the advantage that she is attached to the course and regularly practises at the facility. After a good start to the year, she is also hoping to secure her maiden win.
“At the end of the season I’d like to be in the top 20. My initial target is to get into the top 25 in time for the British Open at Sunningdale,” said Queen.
“I’m just taking it on the progress that I’ve made over the last couple of years.”
Having played in the pro-am on Tuesday, McKay commented: “The course is a great lay-out and they’ve set it up well for the girls. It’s going to be a fun week. Obviously the weather is cold and you are fighting for every inch. The ball doesn’t fly quite as far as it does in Florida.
“Last year we were unfortunate to get the bad weather. Hopefully this year things will improve. Yesterday was a nice day. I don’t know what the forecast is. You can’t come home to Scotland without a bit of rain!”
Kenny and Queen faced the defending champion Sophie Gustafson and Johanna Westerberg, both from Sweden, in a nearest-the-pin style competition this morning. The LET players hit two shots each from the top of a motorboat on Loch Lomond onto the 15th green at The Carrick.
The Scottish pair won and earned a weekend break in a mansion house at the De Vere resort. Unfortunately, Queen dropped her golf bag while posing for a photograph with Kenny and snapped her driver’s Grafalloy shaft in the process.
At first she and Kenny thought the head cover had fallen into the water. “It was quite funny until I realised that the shaft was attached to it and it was in two bits!” said Queen, who should have it repaired by her 8.30am tee time in the first round tomorrow morning.

The West of Scotland players who are playing with the professionals are Megan Briggs and Kylie Walker . We wish them all the best for the tournament and please do go along and support them

LGU Press Release - Curtis Cup Discounted Season ticket offer ends on the 1st May 2008.

Time is running out for spectators to take advantage of the LGU’s special season ticket offer.
The discounted season ticket at price of £30 will only be available until Thursday 1st May 2008. This ticket allows entry to the Old Course, St Andrews for all three exciting days of golf from the top women amateurs of Great Britain and the United States.
The 2008 Curtis Cup is a ticket only event with a capacity of 8,000 spectators each day. Tickets will not be available at the gate.
Susan Simpson, the LGU’s Director of Championships, said “Interest in this historical match is high and I would advise you to purchase your ticket as soon as possible and avoid disappointment”
As a bonus, all Curtis Cup ticket holders will be entitled to a 25% discount on green fees at The Duke's Course, St Andrews, during the week of the Curtis Cup.
The Curtis Cup was donated by the sisters Harriot and Margaret Curtis in 1927 and is inscribed: “to stimulate friendly rivalry among the women golfers of many lands.” However, largely due to financial reasons, the first official match was not played until 1932 at Wentworth where the US beat GB&I 5½ - 3½.

In the series the US teams have won 25 matches, GB&I teams 6, with three matches halved. However, since 1984 the results have been much closer with four wins each and one halved match.

Kylie Walker is Top Scot at the Helen Holm Trophy

Many congratulations go to Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), who was Scotland's highest finisher in the Helen Holm Trophy. She was one of only two players to break 70 on the final day. Kylie had a six-under 69 for joint fourth place on 218 which included an eagle 3 at the 11th and seven birdies, at the second, fourth, fifth, seventh, 10th 12th and 16th. She also dropped shots at the sixth, ninth and 13th in halves of 35 and 34.
Pamela Pretswell,(Bothwell Castle) the Scottish universities Champion, tied for 13th place on 222 with a closing 74.
B Genuini (France) won the Helen Holm Trophy and Sweden won the Team event.
Had Kylie Walker been picked for the team event to represent Scotland --- her score with the second leading Scot of the Tournament Pamela Pretswell would have been enough to secure 2nd place in the team event
