Fife survived a last-day wobble to win the Scottish women’s county golf championship at Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory today.

Fife completed the three-day programme with three match wins out of three, clinching the title by beating Perth & Kinross 5-4 after earlier wins by 7-2 over Borders and 6-3 against Renfrewshire.

Perth & Kinross looked as though they might upset the Fife flow towards the title when they took the foursomes 2-1 but wins in the singles by Louise Kenney, Fiona Hastie, Elaine Moffat and Lorna Bennett took Fife over the winning line.

Renfrewshire, who beat Borders 7-2 in their final match, finished runners-up.
Fife last won the title at The Hirsel in 2006 and before that at Prestonfield in 1995 and Dumfries & County Golf Club in 1975.

Janice Paterson and Helen Faulds make the cut at the British Seniors

Fiona de Vries lost her overnight lead but she is still in there pitching for the title with one round to go in the Senior British women's open amateur golf championship over a very wet course at Hilton Templepatrick Golf Club near Belfast.
The St Andrews hotelier followed up an opening five-over-par 75, which had been good enough to give her a one shot lead, with a 77 for 10-over-par 152 at the 36-hole mark.
Susan Dye (Delamere Forest) slipped past the Scot into the pole position with a 75 to take a one-shot lead on 152.
Another English player, Jane Rees from Hendon, also had a 75 to be lying third on 153.
Scottish senior match-play champion Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) is not out of contention by any means on 156. She had a 77 to be joint fifth at the end of the second day.

The 2008 Peugeot Coronation Foursomes Grand Final

Press Release from the LGU
The Peugeot Coronation Foursomes has once again underlined its position as the UK’s most popular competition for lady club golfers, with more than 34,000 competitors from more than 1300 clubs taking part in this year’s event.

This year’s Grand Final will take place over the testing Eden Course, St Andrews on Monday 22nd September and on that day 12 foursome pairs from as far a field as Kinghorn and Southampton will compete for the coveted national title. The winning pairs also enjoy two nights accommodation in the luxurious Old Course Hotel as part of their prize.

Early in this National Championship, pairs from throughout the country compete in club qualifying rounds, with the winners progressing through to one of 12 Area Finals. Up to 100 winning club pairs compete at each Area Final, all aiming for a place in the Grand Final in St. Andrews. Winning the Grand Final is not the end for the successful pair, as a place in the Pro-Am of the 2009 Ricoh Women’s British Open, and chance to play with one of the world’s leading women professionals at Royal Lytham & St. Anne’s, awaits the eventual winners.

Last year’s winners, the Lothianburn mother and daughter pairing of Karina Matson and Elspeth Adair, had the excitement of playing in this year’s pro-am over the Old Course, Sunningdale with leading professional and Solheim Cup player Laura Davis. When asked about the experience Karina said: ‘We hoped we would get to play with Laura but never in our wildest dreams thought we would get the chance. It was fantastic playing with her and we didn’t want the experience to end. She was very patient and spent lots of time giving us hints and tips and asking how we were getting on. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience’.

This was sentiment was echoed by Shona Malcolm, Chief Executive of the Ladies' Golf Union who said: “The pro-am really is the icing on the cake after three nerve-wracking rounds of competition. This is the seventh year that Peugeot has sponsored the Coronation Foursomes and we are indebted to them for their continued support which enables the LGU to enhance the tournament year on year for each of the 34,000 competitors.”

Further details and information on how to enter the 2009 Peugeot Coronation Foursomes will be available online at www.lgu.org in due course.

The format of the Championship is foursome’s stableford and is open to all members of affiliated clubs who hold a current CONGU Handicap.

Message from Laura McLardy to Kilmacolm and some photos from the day

Laura McLardy from Murcar (the Winners of the Mail on Sunday tie against Kilmacolm) - sent Anne Dunn the Kilmacolm Mail on Sunday Captain a wee note to say ---
We enjoyed hosting you at Murcar at the weekend, and are glad you enjoyed your trip. I think it's true to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our games - including those of us who lost to Eilidh and Megan!! I will do my best to take you up on your offer of a game at Kilmacolm if I can - given that's where I played in my first Scottish Girls Championship when I was 12 (quite a while ago!!) it would be nice to revisit it, since my memory of the course is a little hazy.

We'll do our very best to fly the Scottish flag successfully at Manchester. Fingers crossed!

To see some Photos from the day You can see some photos that Anne Dunn took by clicking on the following link Murcar Links v Kilmacolm -- Mail on Sunday

Anne apologises for missing out Laura McLardy and Carol Wilson in the photos but they are there in the general after match pictures

Kylie, Megan, Pamela are in Wrexham for the Home Internationals

Scotland skipper Lesley Nicholson is quietly confident that her team will give a good account of themselves in the women's home internationals which start at Wrexham Golf Club, North Wales tomorrow.
"Everybody's happy and raring to go, so that's a good sign," said Lesley, a resinstated amateur whose career on the Ladies European Tour was hampered and then cut short by a hand injury.
This is the Haddington player's first time as a team captain and she will be under no illusions that England, winners of the Miller Trophy as champions for the past three years, are anything but hot favourites to make it four in a row. The long and the short of it is that for Scotland, Ireland or Wales to win the championship, they have to beat England.
We wish the team every success and well wishes go to our West of Scotland Players Megan Briggs (Renfrewshire), Pamela Pretswell (Lanarkshire)and Kylie Walker (D&A)who are all in the team.
Wednesday morning foursomes:
WALES v SCOTLAND
Wales names first
Sahra Hassan & Rhian Wyn Thomas v Kylie Walker & Kelsey MacDonald.
Breanne Loucks & Amy Boulden v Michele Thomson & Megan Briggs.
Tara Davies & Stephanie Evans v Pamela Pretswell & Laura Murray.
