Louise Kenney is leading the Ladies Order of Merit.

From the SLGA Website
After an impressive run of form, Louise Kenney, the new Scottish Ladies' Amateur Champion, has retained her lead in the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association's Order of Merit.
The Pitreavie 28-year-old will be making her debut for the Great Britain and Ireland team against the Continent of Europe in the Vagliano Trophy at Royal Porthcawl later this month and she will travel to Wales as the Scottish No. 1.
With a top 15 finish in the St Rule Trophy, Kenney has amassed 2078 points at the top of the Order of Merit. Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), the beaten finalist in the Scottish Championship, is the nearest challenger with 1297 points following a second place in the Munross
But it is close at the top with Pamela Pretswell (1260), Jane Turner (1114), Kelsey MacDonald (1053) and Rachael Watton (1050) all over the 1000 points mark.

Kenney won the Order of Merit in 2009 but her challengers will have a chance to close the gap as she is not in the line-up for the next counting event, this weekend's Irish Women's Strokeplay Championship

Eilidh Sets Sights on Girls' Double
Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), who showed form at senior level by reaching the final of the Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship at Machrihanish last month, has set the early pace in her bid to retain the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association's Girls' Order of Merit.
After just three tournaments, the 18-year-old has amassed 683 points. She finished second in both the Munross Trophy and the Scottish Schools
Kimberley Beveridge (Aboyne) also finished runner-up in the Schools' event and she is in second place on the list with 640 points.
Lauren Whyte (St Regulus), the Scottish Schools' Champion, and Clara Young (North Berwick), who will be playing for Great Britian and Ireland in this month's Under-16 match against the Continent of Europe in Wales, are in joint third spot with 600 points
The next Girls' Order of Merit tournament is the Janice Moodie Trophy at Windyhill on July 1.

SGU BOARD DELEGATION TO MEET WITH AREAS TO PROGRESS AMALGAMATION DISCUSSIONS

The Scottish Golf Union Board has appointed three of its Directors to meet with its 16 Area Associations to ascertain the reasons behind the recent rejection of its proposal for amalgamation with the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association.

Directors Gordon Murray, Maurice Shields and Iain Harvey will form the group to meet with representatives of the Areas who last month voted 10 – 6 against the formation of a single governing body for amateur golf in Scotland.

Douglas Connon, Chairman of the Scottish Golf Union, said: “While the amalgamation proposal was rejected, we are encouraged that there is overwhelming support for the principle of amalgamation and a commitment from our shareholders to find a solution to achieve amalgamation.”

“The Board has invited three Directors to find out what those who voted against amalgamation regarded as unacceptable and importantly what key issues need further consideration to help achieve an agreement going forward.” he added.

The three Directors will undertake this task with the objective of reporting back to the SGU Board by the end of July. Thereafter, the Board will consider the best way forward in consultation with counterparts at the SLGA.

Shareholders representing the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association had previously voted 93% in favour of the amalgamation proposals, while a poll of 295 of the SGU’s affiliated clubs supported the proposed changes by an 89.2% majority.

Sally loses her trolley but still wins !!

Sally and DP Vice Captain Lynda Smith - Click to enlarge

Sally Macfarlane won the Lady Captain's Day prize at Douglas Park yesterday despite losing her trolley and clubs out on the course. She was at the long par 5 10th green when she turned round after putting to discover that her clubs and trolley had disappeared! Her playing partners and some gents that were in the game behind helped in the hunt.
Lo and behold the trolley was then spotted in the distance having travelled about 200 yards --- past the 11th tee , missed a ditch and crossed the 4th fairway to end up in the trees next to a field !!
One of her younger and fitter playing partners sprinted across the course to retrieve the wayward trolley. Her game went off at that point and Sally continued her good round to win the prize of the day !
Her tale was shared with the ladies who attended a lovely buffet supper after the event

Eilidh had scores of 74 and 70 at Murrayshall for 144, the same total as Aboyne’s Kimberley Beveridge (South Aberdeenshire) who had rounds of 70 and 74. Briggs’ better second round was the tie-breaker in deciding who received the second place prize

South Aberdeenshire (Kimberley Beveridge and Shannon McWilliam) were runners-up, only a shot behind on 309, and one stroke further back 309 were the third-placed North Ayrshire pairing of Connie Jaffrey and Mhairi McKay.
