GB & I Vagliano Team announced for 2009 match at Hamburg Germany
There are seven new Great Britain & Ireland caps in the team of nine selected for the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent of Europe at Hamburg Golf Club, Germany on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July.

The team, to be captained by Mary McKenna with Tegwen Matthews as manager, is:

JODI EWART (Catterick), Age 21.
RACHEL JENNINGS (Izaak Walton), Age 20.
LEONA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.
LISA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.
DANIELLE McVEIGH (Royal Co Down Ladies), Age 21.
PAMELA PRETSWELL (Bothwell Castle), Age 20.
RHIAN WYN THOMAS (Vale of Glamorgan), Age 22.
KYLIE WALKER (Buchanan Castle), Age 22.
SALLY WATSON (Elie & Earlsferry), Age 17.

Reserves:
1 KELLY TIDY (Royal Birkdale), Age 17.
2 HANNAH BARWOOD (Knowle), Age 18.
3 CARLY BOOTH (Comrie), Age 16.
4 LAURA COLLIN (John O’Gaunt), Age 22

Big-hitting Kylie Walker (pictured left)beat an international field and followed in the footsteps of Annika Sorenstam to win the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews this year. Actually, Annika won the tournament only once, and Kylie has had back-to-back “St Rule” wins, a feat last achieved by Solheim Cup player Catriona (Lambert) Matthew in 1993-94 and by only one other player, also a Scot - Christine Middleton (Cruden Bay) in 1988-89.
Pamela Pretswell, (pictured right)a Glasgow University student, was Scottish Universities champion in 2008 but her biggest win last year came on a holiday trip when she beat a quality continental field to win the Swiss Women’s Open Amateur Championship.
This year, despite important university exams, Pamela was able to win the West of Scotland title but after winning a sackful of trophies in the qualifying rounds of the Scottish Ladies’ (Close) Championship at Southerness, the after-effects of a pre-tournament illness drained her and she lost early in the match-play stages.
In last week’s British Championship, Pamela was the last Scot to be knocked out, but only at the 20th in the third round by Laura Collin who went on to remove Leona Maguire in the quarter-finals.

West Girls are Runners Up in the Inter Divisional Matches

Ann Wallace was at Ballumbie Castle at the weekend with the West Girls for the Inter Divisional matches and she has sent me a wee note about it all

East retained the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association girls' inter-district team title at Ballumbie Castle golf course, near Dundee, after the two-day competition.
East totalled 7pt, West 5, North 4, South 2pt.

We lost 3-0 to the East which was disappointing but they did have a very strong team and quite a few of our stronger ones weren't able to go but they bounced back and beat the South 3-0 on Saturday afternoon then had a close game against the North on Sunday morning but we won 2-1 which meant we were second overall.

FROM THE AYRSHIRE GOLF ASSOCIATION WEBSITE
Ayrshire's Nancy Chisholm (nee Smillie) has been honoured in the Queens Birthday Honours List with the award of an M.B.E. for voluntary contribution to ladies golf.
This is the latest in a list of honours conferred on Nancy recently, having been elected an Honorary Vice President of both the Ladies Golf Union and Scottish ladies' Golfing Association in the last year. Nancy served as LGU chairman in 1997 and Scottish Ladies Golfing Association president from 2003-2007.
A lifelong member of Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club, which she joined as a junior member, Nancy continues to play golf to a fine standard, and cites her favourite club and deadliest weapon as “father’s antique hickory jigger!”
A former Ladies Club Captain, and Club Champion of St. Nicholas ladies on no fewer than 10 occasions, Nancy has held many senior positions in ladies golf at a national and international level, as well as having undertaken refereeing duties at many major international amateur event, and this latest award is a very fitting and well deserved recognition of her many years of voluntary work on behalf of ladies golf and golfers.
In 2004, Prestwick St. Nicholas conferred Honorary Membership on Nancy in recognition of her outstanding contribution to golf in Scotland and further afield.
Nancy is also a member and past captain of West Kilbride Ladies, a club which holds her in equally high esteem as St. Nicholas for her contribution to club and country over the years.
Sincere congratulations from the Ayrshire Golf Association, and no doubt from many golfers throughout the county and beyond, go to Nancy on this well deserved award.
Many congratulations from all in the West of Scotland --- Nancy

LGU and Green Lamb

The Ladies’ Golf Union has reached a new agreement with leading ladies apparel brand.
Premium Golf Brands, the owner of Green Lamb, is delighted to unveil a four year partnership deal with the Ladies’ Golf Union. Under the agreement, Green Lamb will be the exclusive clothing supplier for the Great Britain & Ireland teams during their international matches, including the Vagliano Trophy and the Curtis Cup.
The first event where the GB & Ireland team will sport the latest Green Lamb collections is the Vagliano Trophy at Hamburger Golf Club, Germany, from 24-25 July. The team of 9 players, captained by legendary Irish player Mary McKenna, will be aiming to bring back the trophy that the Continent of Europe won at the Fairmont, St Andrews, in 2007.
Green Lamb has provided the LGU’s teams with clothing in the past, and Shona Malcolm, CEO of the LGU is delighted to be able to extend this partnership on a long-term basis as she comments, “we are extremely enthusiastic about formalising our association with Green Lamb. The brand has continually evolved over the years and can demonstrate, during the year of its 20th anniversary, that it clearly understands the changing needs of lady golfers. Their latest ranges appeal to a wide range of tastes and are packed with the very latest performance fabrics, which is extremely important for our teams.”
Grahame Jenkins, Managing Director of Premium Golf Brands is equally pleased to be working with the LGU, “the LGU does an incredible job and we are very proud to be able to partner them. Green Lamb is committed to supporting ladies golf at every level of the game and we are incredibly excited to see our clothing on the GB & Ireland teams this summer and beyond.”
As the ladies game evolves Green Lamb is bound to rise to the challenge of remaining ahead of the game – a fact that is clearly demonstrated in the illustrious nature of this partnership.

ALL ARE KNEE SLAPPERS BUT OLD HENNY YOUNGMAN'S IS THE BEST!!!

Your Webmaster is off on holiday tomorrow -- so I will leave you with some thoughts ----
These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.
~ Sam Snead
A hungry dog hunts best.
~ Lee Trevino
You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen.
~ Lee Trevino
I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool.
~ George Brett
Actually, the only time I ever took out a one-iron was to kill a tarantula. And I took a 7 to do that.
~ Jim Murray
The only sure rule in golf is - he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie.
~ Mickey Mantle
Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them
~ Kevin Costner
I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.
~ Chi Chi Rodriguez
After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye.
~ Chi Chi Rodriguez
The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree.
~ Brian Weis
Swing hard in case you hit it.
~ Dan Marino
My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered. ~ Lord Robertson
Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
~ Jack Benny
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
~ Ben Hogan
Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you're the best
~ Jack Nicklaus
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf. It's almost a law.
~ H G Wells
I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course.
~ Billy Graham
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play at it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.
~ Bob Hope
While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
~ Henny Youngman
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
~ Jack Lemmon
You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.
~ Lee Trevino
I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced.
~ Lee Trevino
