MARIE BELL HAS A HOLE IN ONE

Marie has her
hole in one

Playing in the Jean McCulloch Foursomes competition at her home club West Kilbride recently, Marie Bell holed her tee shot at the Par 3, 159 yard 9th hole.

 Using her driver the ball was struck beautifully and looked good all the way. This is Marie's first hole in one after playing golf for more years than she cares to remember.


 Congratulations Marie.

Jennifer Rankine and Rachel Foster (Photo Courtesy of June Kerr)

Rachel Foster (Turnberry) is only 13 years old and was playing in the Scottish Ladies Championship at West Kilbride this week  to gain experience and try to get her handicap cut. 
She is off 9 and scored 83 on Tuesday and 78 on Wednesday (CSS 73 both days). With these scores she qualified comfortably for the Clarke Rosebowl. 
In the first round she beat Lesley Atkins, a former Scottish Girls' Champion and winner of the Scottish Schoolgirls Championship, by 2 & 1, and in the afternoon won by the same margin over the more experienced Hannah Scott. 
In this morning's semi-final against 15 year old Jennifer Rankin (Haggs Castle) , Rachel was not just as accurate as she had been all week but still played a very good game and holed some super putts. Jennifer's golf was excellent and included 5 birdies which helped her to win by 5 & 4.

WEST OF SCOTLAND'S EILIDH BRIGGS AND CONNIE JAFFREY FINISH IN TOP TEN OF THE ST RULE TROPHY

Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm) and local girl Lauren Whyte (Regulus) tied for third place on 216 in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews three behind the winner France's 15 year old Pauline Roussin-Bouchard.
Eilidh, who missed most of last season with injury, shot 74, 68 and 74, while Lauren, a student at Baylor University, Texas, reeled off three 72s in her best performance at this high level for a year or two.
Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies) tied for eighth place on seven-under 219 after an outward half of five-under 33 over the Old Course had her lying joint third with nine holes to play. But she took two-over 40 shots to come home for a 73. Still, she might have run into a bit of form just in time for the Scottish women's championship at West Kilbride this week. She was beaten by Gabrielle Macdonald in the final at Prestwick two or three years back.

Pamela Pretswell secured the fifth and final spot on three-under-par 141 (70-71) in the qualifying 36 hole European qualifier for the 2016 USA Women's Open Championship.
The Scot from Hamilton said: “I’m absolutely delighted. This is my first time playing in US Women’s Open qualifying and I’m looking forward to playing in California.
"I’ve played in two British Opens but to go over to America will be amazing and a good experience. I just tried to stay patient all day and make as many birdies as we could.
"I think I was very patient which is something I’m not always good at but it’s been coming for a while, so it’s nice. It’s massive and I’m looking forward to next month and hopefully I can continue playing good golf.”
Other Scots who did well but not quite well enough by finishing in the top 20 were Carly Booth (T8 on 143: 71-72), Kylie Walker (T11 on 145: 71-74) and Vikki Laing (T18 on 147: 71-76
