OPEN SPECIAL TREAT AT THE GLASGOW GOLF CENTRE

This week as an 'Open Special Treat' at Glasgow Golf Centre we will have the GC2 Launch Monitor on the range for you to have a try if you are down for a practice session, the GC2, as used on Sky TV, will give you information on the distances you are hitting it as well as the accuracy.  If you have not been to visit us at the Indoor centre yet I'm assuming either you have not been getting much golf or you have been getting very wet! Come along and visit us soon, practice and stay dry!

 

We are running kids camps, probably the week beginning 30th July and the week beginning 6th August.  The camp runs Monday to Friday 10am-1pm and costs £50 for the week/child, there is an option of extending each day for an hour for a supervised practice session until 2pm for an extra £15 so £65 total for the week.  There will be a maximum of 10 kids per group.  We did the ClubGolfCamp a couple of weeks ago with 14 kids and it was a great success.  Following the summer holidays we will begin weekly kids coaching, if you are interested or know anyone who might be, get in touch.

 

Lastly, as always I will be doing individual lessons and group lessons throughout the rest of the season so if you would like to book an appointment, we can try and improve your game before the season ends.  I am also looking for ideas as to what you golfers would like to learn about the most so I can have an informative evening where you can learn and also do some practice within the centre, please reply with any suggsetions and i will endevour to put together a great session for you!  I will keep you updated with what is going on at the Indoor Academy at Glasgow Golf Centre but in the meantime you may check out the website at www.indoorgolfacademies.co.uk, follow us on facebook at Glasgow Golf Centre or Twitter @glasgowgolf for all our chat and the latest offers.

 

Oh, and just incase you like a flutter, my top tips for The Open are: Phil Mickleson, Rickie Fowler and my outsider Simon Dyson!  GOOD LUCK!

 

Kind Regards and Good Golfing Always, with a smiley face.

Lynn Kenny wins the Belhaven Trophy

Alan Tait presents Lynn Kenny with the Belhaven Trophy

Neil Hampton, Pamela Pretswell, Laura Murray, Michael Gannon winners of the Team Award

Gillian Kirkwood, Heather McCrae, Lynn Kenny and Carol Fell  - Team Runners Up

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
It was girls on top at the Callaway/Gleneagles Hotel-sponsored Scottish golfwriters and guests' golf tournament over the King's Course, Gleneagles today.
On a dry (!), windless day on a soft course - aren't they all at the moment? - Lynn Kenny (Archerfield Links) won the Belhaven Trophy for the best overall Stableford points score with an outstanding effort of 39 - off a handicap (for competition purposes) of +3!
Lynn's gross score was six-under-par 65 (32-33).
She is the first female competitor ever to win the Belhaven Trophy.
"It was a brilliant display," said one of her playing partners, Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle).
"No-one was more surprised than me," said Lynn, a former Scottish women's amateur champion who lost her Ladies European Tour card at the end of last season, "because I have played very little golf lately. Maybe this is the answer to regaining my form!"
Rookie pro and recent Curtis Cup heroine Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle), Scottish women's amateur champion Laura Murray (Alford), Michael Gannon (Daily Record) and Neil Hampton, general manager of Royal Dornoch Golf Club won the team event with 94pt .
Runners-up were the all-ladies team of Gillian Kirkwood (Broomieknowe), Lynn Kenny (Archerfield Links), Heather MacRae (Gullane) and Carol Fell with 92pt.
Scott Peddie (Bunkered and Scottish Club Golfer) won he Alex M Fox Trophy as winner of the Golfwriters' section. He scored 32pt off a handicap of seven, despite not scoring any points at all at two holes.
Neil Hampton won the Male Guests' category with 33pt off scratch. His gross score was 71 (34-37) against a par of 68.
Callaway provided the golf equipment prizes and Gleneagles Hotel supplied goodie bags, coffee/tea and bacon rolls on arrival and a two-course lunch, all on the house. And, of course, they provided the golfwriters and guests with the courtesy of the King's Course - perhaps the biggest prize of all!
The management at Machrihanish Dunes, Trump International Links, Marriott Dalmhoy Hotel Golf and Country Club, Royal Dornoch Golf Club and Gleneagles Hotel provided courtesy tee times at their courses at future dates as additional prizes.

Dornoch's Alison Bartlett is the Scottish Senior's Strokeplay Champion

Royal Dornoch's Alison Bartlett is the new Scottish senior women's amateur stroke-play golf champion.
She won the title at Kemnay Golf Club, Aberdeenshire today after long-time leader Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) dropped four shots to par over the last four holes.
Glennie, well clear of the field, had a double bogey 7 at the 15th and bogeys at the 16th and 17th for a six-over-par round of 79 (39-40) which gave her a two-round final total of eight-over 154.
Bartlett matched that aggregate by birdieing the 17th on her way to a one-under 72 (37-35).
Glennie's downward spiral continued when she lost the sudden-death play-off to Bartlett at the first extra hole.
Tain sisters Mary Smith (81 for 158) and Anne Ryan (80 for 161) finished third and joint fifth to give the far North three players in the top six - a grand performance.
The leading 16 players go on to contest the seniors' match-play championship over the next two days.
Linda Urquhart (Banchory) was the 16th qualifier with an 85 for 168 - pipping former Scottish seniors champion Karen Ballantyne (Craigmillar Park) (83 for 169) for the final place.

AYRSHIRE'S ALEX GLENNIE LEADS AFTER THE 1ST ROUND OF THE SCOTTISH SENIORS AT KEMNAY

Alex Glennie 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay Champion

Ayrshire's Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) made an excellent start to the defence of her Scottish senior women's amateur stroke-play championship in the first national golf event to be played at the Kemnay course in Aberdeenshire.
Like every golf course in the country, Kemnay is very, very wet after days, even weeks of rain and was playing every inch of its length today.
Alex Glennie (pictured above), Ayrshire county champion in 2004 and the 2011 Scottish Seniors Strokeplay champion did not have a birdie on her card but 16 pars and bogeys at two long holes, the 15th and 16th, represented a very good day's "work" for a two-over-par 73 (37-38).
She will start Wednesday's second and final round with a two-shot lead from Jill Harrison (Cruden Bay) and Mary Smith (Tain).
Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), who had an 81 today, is the defending matchplay champion but is now a selector and will not take part in the 2nd qualifying round.
