Scotland lose to Spain in European Team Championship

Scotland will play Germany on Saturday for the bronze medals after losing 4.5 to 2.5 at the hands of Spain today in the semi-finals of the European women's amateur team championship at La Manga, Spain.
Pamela Pretswell and Laura Murray lost at the 19th to Spain's Carlota Ciganda and Marta Silva.
Kelsey MacDonald and Louise Kenney squared it for Scotland by beating M Prat and E Folch 2 and 1.
But Spain took the singles comfortably after Carlota Ciganda gained a measure of revenge for her defeat in the "British" at Ganton by Kelsey MacDonald. Carlota won this one by one hole.
Laura Murray lost 4 and 3 to Marta Silva and Megan Briggs went down by 6 and 5 to M Prat to give Spaniard 4pt - a winning lead in a 7pt match.
Louise Kenney beat E Floch by 5 and 3 and the Pretswell v Urchequi match was declared a square match because overall it could not affect the outcome.
Spain will play Sweden in the final, having beaten them 5.5 to 1.5 today.
England, beaten 4-3 by Scotland on Thursday, beat Netherlands 3.5 to 1.5 but the best they can do is finish fifth.

And Curtis Cup amateur Sally Watson (Elie and Earlsferry) can be proud of a 75 which put her ahead of many established names on the LPGA Tour.

Strong field for Scottish Girls’ Championship at Eyemouth

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE SCOTTISH LADIES GOLFING ASSOCIATION
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmalcolm) and Rachael Watton (Mortonhall), who both play off scratch, head a strong entry for the Scottish Girls’ Championship at Eyemouth Golf Club from July 13-17.
It is a first National Championship for the Borders Club and 64 girls – 43 boasting single figure handicaps – will be aiming to lift the trophy won by Ailsa Bain (Peebles) last year.
Eilidh and Rachael are both members of the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association’s Performance B squad and they are joined in the line-up by three of their colleagues - Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), Lesley Atkins (Gullane) and Gabrielle Macdonald (Craigielaw).
The field also includes two sets of sisters - Natasha and Alexandra Qayum, from Ranfurly Castle and Alison and Catherine Goodwin from Glenbervie.
The Championship consists of two rounds of stroke-play qualifying (July13-14) with the top 32 advancing to the match-play knock-out stage. The next 16 girls qualify for the Ansley Salver.
The 18 hole final takes place on Saturday, July 17 at 9.00 am.

SCOTLAND MAKE THE 1ST FLIGHT MATCHES AND PLAY ENGLAND

A nine-shot improvement from an opening 82 to a second-round par 73 at La Manga by Scottish champion Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) and a solid 74 by St Rule Trophy winner Laura Murray (Alford) cemented Scotland's qualification for the championship flight.
West of Scotland's Pamela Pretswell and Megan Briggs had a 76 and 77 repectively to help the team qualify.
However the Scots' sixth place means they will play third-placed England in the first round of the match-play series.
Sweden (730) were the top qualifiers ahead of Spain (731) with England (741) third, Denmark (750) fourth, Germany (756) fifth, Scotland (757) sixth, Netherlands (759) seventh.
Austria and France both finished on 760 and France were placed eighth under some tie-breaker system which did not involve the usual comparision of second-round totals as Austria had the better second round total (377 to 383).

European Team Championship at La Manga

Scotland's women's team cannot afford any slips in the second qualifying round of the European team championship if they are to make the championship flight of eight at La Manga, Spain.
After the first qualifying round, the Scots are sharing seventh place on 379 with Norway.
Scottish champion and British championship beaten finalist Kelsey MacDonald had a disappointing round of nine-over-par 82 and her score was discarded. The Nairn Dunbar player and Stirling student, perhaps still tired after her Ganton exertions, had a double bogey 7 at the long ninth and had only one birdie, at the fourth, in halves of 41.
The best Scots score were a pair of 74s from Curtis Cupper Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) and British universities stroke-play champion Jane Turner (Craigielaw).
Pamela had halves of 39 and 35 with a couple of birdies, at the 12th and 18th.
Jane, who caddied for Kelsey in the closing rounds of the "British," rallied from a double bogey 7 at the long sixth to record halves of 38 and 37. She birdied the long fourth, the long ninth and the short 12th.
Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm), Laura Murray (Alford) and Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) all had 77s. Kenney dropped three shots to par at the sixth and seventh, having started at the 10th.
Sweden are leading on 361 from England, with Spain third on 368. Ireland (387) and Wales (391) look unlikely to make the championship flight.

Scots struggle in European girls' team championship in Denmark

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE IRISH GOLF UNION
Teenage twins Leona and Lisa Maguire (Slieve Russell), now playing off plus 3, started Ireland’s gold medal defence in convincing fashion to tie second place after the first qualifying round of the 2010 European U18 Team Championships tee off at Aalborg, Denmark.
Leona birdied the ninth hole to turn one under par and a level par back nine saw her sign for a 70, just one shot behind best-of-the-day Celeine Boutier (France). With three scores to count from 4, sister Lisa was one shot further back on level par after blitzing her back nine in one under the card. Stephanie Meadow (Royal Portrush) was three over par for both nines in her round of 77 while Laura McCarthy (Muskerry) struggled on the inward journey to return 81.
Ireland are sharing second place, four shots behind France, after a good day’s work. The qualifying concludes tomorrow with a second 18 holes stroke-play after which the eight teams with the best 36-hole totals contest the medals Thursday through Saturday.
As Ireland lies six shots inside the cut for eight place, Team Captain Sinead Keane (Curragh) is pleased with her team’s start that sees them well positioned to defend their Gold medal won in Finland last year.
END OF NEWS RELEASE BY THE IRISH LGU
Scotland are not nearly so well placed as the Irish girls.
Rachael Watton with a six-over-par 77 (41-36) was the best of the four, following by Germany-based Rachael Taylor 80 (40-40) and Eilidh Briggs 82 (44-38) and Alyson McKechin 82 (39-43).
The Scots are lying in 16th place on 239. The teams currently sharing seventh place - Belgium and England - are on 224, which shows how much the Scottish girls would have to improve to make into the top eight who go forward to the championship match-play flight.
The Scots look destined for one of the lower flights.

Live Scoring From The Scottish Seniors

The wind blows at Fortrose in the practice round. Janice Paterson and Helen Faulds battle
against the wind. Don't expect good scores at the Scottish Seniors if the wind keeps up.!!!!!

Helen Faulds wins the Douglas Park Championship

Helen Faulds played nearly faultless golf against your webmaster Carol
Fell in the Douglas Park Golf Club Championship final this afternoon.
In a low scoring match by both players Helen's 5 birdies made life
difficult for the opposition.
At the moment I am a roving reporter travelling as a passenger with
the DP Champion up to Fortrose for the Scottish Seniors
Championships. !!
