Pamela is unable to play this year as she has an important exam this week. Her place in the team at Craigielaw has been taken by Rachael Taylor , a 1 handicap 17 year old who was born in Airdrie but has spent most of her life in Germany where her father is the head professional,with a staff of 36, at the five star Hartl Golf Resort, Bad Griesbach in southern Germany.

Want to be a Scorer at the Scottish Ladies Open

Anyone interested in scoring this year at the Scottish Ladies Open?
The Tournament is to be held at the Archerfield in East Lothian 18th - 20th August 2010. Lynn Mitchell is working with Alec and George (chief marshal) this time and so far feeders have been put out to recruit around the local area. They are still unable to verify numbers coming in from that yet but she would still if possible like to have on board some experience in the ranks!
The format as you will see from the information letter below is slighly different from the Carrick. She hopes to use an am/pm rota 'set up' working all 3 days but will also incorporate a cover system and HQ reserves. It is a beautiful course and a very friendly set up.

The drive is approx an hour and thirty/forty minutes from Glasgow.

She would appreciate if you could reply ASAP and/or pass on these details to anyone who you think may be interested.

Kylie Walker joins The Carrick on Loch Lomond

NEWS RELEASE
Long-hitting rookie professional Kylie Walker, a Buchanan Castle Golf Club member as an amateur, has signed up with The Carrick on Loch Lomond golf course management and will represent the club and the course on the Ladies European Tour.
Ross Whitfield, Director of Golf and Estates Cameron House Resort, commented, “It is great to have Kylie associated with The Carrick on Loch Lomond. Kylie has a fine pedigree from her superb amateur career and we are all excited to see how her career transpires. I know she will fit right in at the Carrick with members, visitors and staff alike and will be a worthy ambassador for the club on her travels throughout Europe.”
The Carrick’s reputation has evolved rapidly since its opening in 2006. Not only is it considered one of the finest golf courses in the UK, but also offers the world-class accommodation of the Cameron House Hotel. Both sit proudly on the banks of the famous Loch Lomond and offer up not only some of the finest views anywhere in golf, but also unrivalled levels of quality and service.
Said Kylie Walker:
“The golf course is one of the finest new golf courses and is a great facility to be part of. The course itself is challenging and provides a varied test that will help keep my game in tournament condition when not competing. Coupled with some of the most inspired views I have ever seen and I am thoroughly looking forward to spending time at The Carrick on Loch Lomond."
The facility has a rich pedigree in its young history having played host to some world class golf events in recent years that include the Ladies Scottish Open and the PGA Cup. With plans for further initiatives in the coming months and years, The Carrick will continue to establish itself as one of the finest facilities for golf and leisure in the UK.
Kylie Walker joins 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie and former British girls champion Clare Queen as members of the Carrick Tour Team.
