Scottish Girls Championship -- Traffic Delays

Will all competitors please note that there are major road works (gas main replacement) on the main road into Lanark town centre. There are temporary traffic lights in operation and the main road is reduced to one lane. This is causing delays to traffic entering the town centre from the A73 Carluke and A72 Hamilton directions. Please can competitors ensure that they allow adequate time to get to Lanark Golf Club

Come back to Ayrshire -- The Home of Golf


Come Back to Ayrshire - The Home of Open Golf

Comebacktoayrshire Newsletter

12 July 2009

It's a great year for golfers and anyone with an interest in golf to come back to Ayrshire.

Almost 150 years ago a group of individuals took to the sandhills of Prestwick and made Ayrshire the home of Open Golf. Today, Ayrshire boasts two out of five of The Open venues. This year, the newly refurbished Turnberry resort will play host the The Open, a world class event.

Those visiting The Open this year will have opportunities to find out more about the area including its range of links, public and parkland courses. A special 'Come Back to Ayrshire' stand will provide information on golf, tourism and the range of events taking place in Scotland's Year of Homecoming and beyond.

There will also be opportunities to discover your Scottish roots as specialists from Ayrshire Archives will be on hand to give you an insight into how to trace your family tree and discover more about geneaology.

Golf is of course one of the Homecoming pillars and the last practice day of The Open (Wed 15 July) is a special Homecoming Day.

Scotland's Year of Homecoming celebrates 250 years since the birth of Robert Burns. Burns was born in Burns Cottage, Alloway, Ayrshire, making this a "must visit" destination for all visitors in 2009. The Come Back to Ayrshire team will have lots of information on the Burns attractions in the area as well as annual Ayrshire events including, the Scottish Gold Cup Festival, Ayr Flower Show, The Burns an' a' that Festival and Alloway 1759.

The Homecoming Day will also be a great family day out with opportunities to 'Beat the Pro' at putting, have your photograph taken with The Claret Jug and see some special on screen welcomes from the world of sport.

Another special Homecoming golf related event will take place during the week of The Open and throughout the summer until 31 August 2009. Whole in One is a special golf exhibition that charts the history of Open Golf. This free exhibition takes place at Maclaurin Galleries, Rozelle Estate, Ayr and has something for all of the family to enjoy including golf artefacts and memorabilia, an interactive golf simulator and some nostalgic video clips. On a recent visit to Ayrshire golfing legend Jack Nicklaus said of the exhibition:

''The Whole in One exhibition is all about memories and rekindling the spirit of the past. I would encourage everyone with an interest in sport, their local history or those who are plain curious to have a look at the development of golf in South Ayrshire and to see some of the exhibits on show."
Jack Nicklaus

The Open provides a driving force for golf development in Ayrshire. South Ayrshire Council Leader Hugh Hunter said:

"Golf is a major asset to Ayrshire tourism. Often referred to as Scotland's Golf Coast, Ayrshire is a popular destination for golfers the world over. As well as major golfing events such as The Open, annual golf events are also organised by South Ayrshire Council bringing together locals and visitors to enjoy a sense of competition and camaraderie over a number of our courses in Ayr, Troon and Girvan and teams from Golf South Ayrshire and Junior Golf South Ayrshire (Club golf delivered by South Ayrshire Council within local primary schools) work together to develop the sport's social and recreational benefits amongst the young and young at heart!"

It is fitting that The Open comes back to Ayrshire in Scotland's Year of Homecoming and Turnberry, a luxury collection resort, newly refurbished to the highest standard will once again open its doors to provide the perfect setting. Who can forget the famous 1977 Duel in the Sun between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. This year looks set to be just as good with so many young exciting players emerging to compete with a few returning notable old hands.

Fifteen thousand grandstand seats, more than ever before, will provide not only uninterrupted views of the golf but will also showcase the breathtaking Ailsa Craig and the stunning Ayrshire scenery that surrounds Turnberry lighthouse. People the world over will be glad that The Open has come back to Ayrshire.

Scotland finish top of Flight B and Pamela and Kylie are winners

Scotland beat Wales 5-0 to earn ninth place ranking, Silver medals for England

Scotland defeated Switzerland 4 1/2 to 1/2 in the European Team Championships and then went on to beat Wales 5-0 in their final Flight B match to be officially ranked ninth of the 18 competing countries in the European women's amateur team golf championship at Bled, Slovenia.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) and Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) won the foursomes by 4 and 3 over Amy Boulden and Gemma Bradbury.
In the singles, the Scotland dominance continued. Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) beat left-handed Stephanie Evans by 3 and 2. Carly Booth (Comrie) was a one-hole winner over Rhian Wyn Thomas. Stirling student Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) beat Tara Davies 4 and 3 while Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) also won by 4 and 3 over Lucy Gould.
Considering they were a little unlucky to lose out on eighth place in the Championship Flight, it was not a bad performance at all by the Scots. Ninth was the highest finish they could achieve after that - and they did it with a little bit of style.
The official rankings at the conclusion of the championship were:
1 Germany, 2 England, 3 France, 4 Spain, 5 Sweden, 6 Netherlands, 7 Denmark, 8 Norway.
9 Scotland, 10 Wales, 11 Austria, 12 Switzerland, 13 Italy, 14 Finland, 15 Belgium, 16 Iceland.17 Ireland, 18 Slovenia.

Pamela and Kylie play well for Scotland but Scots miss out for the Top Flight by one

Scotland missed out by one in the Championship Flight of the European women's amateur team championship at Bled, Slovenia.
The Scots finished ninth in the 36-hole qualifying stroke-play which put them into the Second Flight - along with Wales and Ireland.
France are the top seeds with a three-over-par team total over two rounds, which represents some quality scoring in there.
England qualified in fourth place at 14 over par.
The Scots (29 over par) therefore join Wales (44 over par) and Ireland (46 over par) in the Second Flight Matches.
Top scorer for the Scots over the qualifying rounds was Swiss women's open amateur champion Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) with 77 and 71 for 148.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie), Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) and Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) all totalled 152, Louise with a pair of 76s, Kyle with scores of 78 and 75 while Sally followed up a 79 with a 73.
Stirling University student Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) improved by five shots with a 75 for 155 but Carly Booth (Comrie) is still not at her best with scores of 79 and 77 for 156.

Ayrshire County Centenary Dinner

Top Table at the Ayrshire Centenary Dinner by Marian Wilson

The Provosts of North and South Ayrshire held a Civic Reception to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ayrshire County Ladies on the evening of Friday 3rd July in the County Hall in Wellington Square. Captain Nora McCrossin - sporting mysterious dark glasses to hide the bruises from a [losing] encounter with a runaway caddy car - bravely wecolmed eighty Ayrshire members and invited guests to drinks followed by a superb meal and an evening of entertaining and informative speeches - including those from familiar faces from the SLGA, Chairman Shona Malcolm and Chief Selector Isobel Crawford.
Richard Cole-Hamilton, Past Captain of the R&A, outlined his love of Ayrshire and Ayrshire golf and encouraged the up and coming junior Ayrshire team [who have won the Kennedy Salver for the past 3 years] to emulate the achievements of former Ayrshire teams which still held pole position in Jamboree/County finals wins, but had struggled in more recent times. David Purdie, Professor of Obstetrics, with what might be described as an inside knowledge of women, kept everyone entertained with a speech filled with highly amusing anecdotes.

Ayrshire’s newest MBE, Nancy Chisolm was another, most welcome, special guest at the top table. The whole evening reflected the best of golf; we can compete ‘to the death’ on the fairways, but the friendships we make throughout the years, the bond between young and old, and the fellowship of the game we both love and hate at times, endures for ever.

The Afternoon ties at Kinross


Helen Faulds (Douglas Park), Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) and Suzanne Cadden (Cardross) all reached the quarter finals of the Scottish Seniors Matchplay Championship this morning at Kinross in extremely hot and humid conditions.
Heather Anderson the former Downfield and now Alyth player squeezed into the match-play stages as the last of the 16 qualifiers but you would never have known from the quality of performances she produced today.
In the first round she toppled the No 1 seed Fiona Hunter (Baberton) with ease, beating her by 7 and 5.
And to show that was no fluke Heather then beat the eighth best qualifier, former Curtis Cup player and one time World Junior champion Suzanne Cadden from Cardross by 3 and 2.
Heather now plays the fourth seed Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) for a place in the final. Alex beat former champion Pamela Williamson (Bab erton) by 5 and 3 and then had a 2 and 1 win over Helen Faulds (Douglas Park).
The second semi-final sees Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), the No 3 seed, tackle the 10th qualifier, Moira Thomson (Gullane Ladies), the 1968 Scottish girls champion and, more recently, winner of the Scottish Veteran women’s title at Blairgowrie.
Noreen, was given a run for her money by 14th seed Frances Neish (Moray) before edgining through on the 18th green in the morning and followed that up with another visit to the last green, winning by two holes against Mary Smith (Tain), the Scottish seniors stroke-play champion last year.
Moira Thomson had a good 2 and 1 win over a that capable Royal Montrose player Kathleen Sutherland before beating the defending match-play champion, Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) at the 20th hole in the last quarter-final to finish.
