Scottish Girls Championship Eilidh Briggs is 2nd Qualifier
Rachael had rounds of 77 and 76 with playing the last eight holes in two under par to finish three shots clear of Renfrewshire's Eilidh Briggs (Kilmalcolm),
Eilidh had a roller-coaster first round of 77 which included an eagle 3 at the long 11th and a birdie at the long 14th as well as a double bogey sixth at the fifth. She had nothing better than par in her second round.
Renfrewshire's Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) who led the 1st round with a one over par 75 did not do so well in the 2nd round but ended up being the 6th best qualifier for the matchplay stages tomorrow.

RACE FOR 2009 JUNIOR MASTERS TITLE STARTS THIS WEEK
The race for the 2009 Dunfermline Building Society Junior Masters title, Scotland’s biggest participation junior golf event, gets underway with the first two of this summer’s four regional finals taking place this week.
Sixty four juniors will go west to Glasgow’s Bishopbriggs Golf Club which will tee off this year’s title race, the event then heads north to Boat of Garten with 69 young aspiring golfers hoping to be among those to secure a place in the prestigious grand final, which takes place on the Queen’s Course, Gleneagles, in October.
Qualifying competitions have been taking place up and down the country over the last three months, with the leading two boys and girls from each club making their way through to the regional finals. Following this week’s events, the Junior Masters regional finals moves to Alyth in Perthshire next week (21 July) and the following month to Lothianburn Golf Club, who will host the last qualifier on Wednesday 5 August.
Around 300 youngsters from clubs across the country will be participating in the four events, with the leading 80 players heading for Gleneagles, home of the 2014 Ryder Cup. Among the juniors taking part this year, over 50 competitors are girls, boosted by clubgolf’s ‘Girls in Golf’ programme.
SGU Marketing & Sponsorship Manager Ross Duncan said, “The Dunfermline Building Society Junior Masters has been a huge success and we are very grateful to the sponsor’s contribution over the last three years.
“Their support of this event has boosted the grass roots game by promoting and supporting junior golf in communities across Scotland, as well as giving young players the chance to play in a national event at Gleneagles, the Ryder Cup venue for 2014. The calibre of the field at each event has improved year on year and demonstrates much of the hard work going into junior golf and our SGU Academys right now.”
The winner of last year’s Junior Masters girls section was Kirkintilloch’s Jorden Ferrie, whilst Renfrewshire’s Rory McKinnon from Ranfurly Castle won the boys section. Ferrie will be among the field teeing up tomorrow, however McKinnon is unable to take part and is replaced by Scott McAllister, son of two times European Tour winner Stephen McAllister.
This year’s players will need to be on the top of their game to top the Gleneagles leaderboard and take the respective titles at this year’s Grand Final which takes place on 11 October.

Scotland finish top of Flight B and Pamela and Kylie are winners
Scotland defeated Switzerland 4 1/2 to 1/2 in the European Team Championships and then went on to beat Wales 5-0 in their final Flight B match to be officially ranked ninth of the 18 competing countries in the European women's amateur team golf championship at Bled, Slovenia.
Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) and Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) won the foursomes by 4 and 3 over Amy Boulden and Gemma Bradbury.
In the singles, the Scotland dominance continued. Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry) beat left-handed Stephanie Evans by 3 and 2. Carly Booth (Comrie) was a one-hole winner over Rhian Wyn Thomas. Stirling student Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) beat Tara Davies 4 and 3 while Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) also won by 4 and 3 over Lucy Gould.
Considering they were a little unlucky to lose out on eighth place in the Championship Flight, it was not a bad performance at all by the Scots. Ninth was the highest finish they could achieve after that - and they did it with a little bit of style.
The official rankings at the conclusion of the championship were:
1 Germany, 2 England, 3 France, 4 Spain, 5 Sweden, 6 Netherlands, 7 Denmark, 8 Norway.
9 Scotland, 10 Wales, 11 Austria, 12 Switzerland, 13 Italy, 14 Finland, 15 Belgium, 16 Iceland.17 Ireland, 18 Slovenia.

The Scots finished ninth in the 36-hole qualifying stroke-play which put them into the Second Flight - along with Wales and Ireland.
France are the top seeds with a three-over-par team total over two rounds, which represents some quality scoring in there.

The Scots (29 over par) therefore join Wales (44 over par) and Ireland (46 over par) in the Second Flight Matches.
Top scorer for the Scots over the qualifying rounds was Swiss women's open amateur champion Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) with 77 and 71 for 148.

Stirling University student Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) improved by five shots with a 75 for 155 but Carly Booth (Comrie) is still not at her best with scores of 79 and 77 for 156.

Ayrshire County Centenary Dinner
The Provosts of North and South Ayrshire held a Civic Reception to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Ayrshire County Ladies on the evening of Friday 3rd July in the County Hall in Wellington Square. Captain Nora McCrossin - sporting mysterious dark glasses to hide the bruises from a [losing] encounter with a runaway caddy car - bravely wecolmed eighty Ayrshire members and invited guests to drinks followed by a superb meal and an evening of entertaining and informative speeches - including those from familiar faces from the SLGA, Chairman Shona Malcolm and Chief Selector Isobel Crawford.
Richard Cole-Hamilton, Past Captain of the R&A, outlined his love of Ayrshire and Ayrshire golf and encouraged the up and coming junior Ayrshire team [who have won the Kennedy Salver for the past 3 years] to emulate the achievements of former Ayrshire teams which still held pole position in Jamboree/County finals wins, but had struggled in more recent times. David Purdie, Professor of Obstetrics, with what might be described as an inside knowledge of women, kept everyone entertained with a speech filled with highly amusing anecdotes.
Ayrshire’s newest MBE, Nancy Chisolm was another, most welcome, special guest at the top table. The whole evening reflected the best of golf; we can compete ‘to the death’ on the fairways, but the friendships we make throughout the years, the bond between young and old, and the fellowship of the game we both love and hate at times, endures for ever.

The Afternoon ties at Kinross
Helen Faulds (Douglas Park), Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) and Suzanne Cadden (Cardross) all reached the quarter finals of the Scottish Seniors Matchplay Championship this morning at Kinross in extremely hot and humid conditions.
Heather Anderson the former Downfield and now Alyth player squeezed into the match-play stages as the last of the 16 qualifiers but you would never have known from the quality of performances she produced today.
In the first round she toppled the No 1 seed Fiona Hunter (Baberton) with ease, beating her by 7 and 5.
And to show that was no fluke Heather then beat the eighth best qualifier, former Curtis Cup player and one time World Junior champion Suzanne Cadden from Cardross by 3 and 2.
Heather now plays the fourth seed Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie) for a place in the final. Alex beat former champion Pamela Williamson (Bab erton) by 5 and 3 and then had a 2 and 1 win over Helen Faulds (Douglas Park).
The second semi-final sees Noreen Fenton (Dunbar), the No 3 seed, tackle the 10th qualifier, Moira Thomson (Gullane Ladies), the 1968 Scottish girls champion and, more recently, winner of the Scottish Veteran women’s title at Blairgowrie.
Noreen, was given a run for her money by 14th seed Frances Neish (Moray) before edgining through on the 18th green in the morning and followed that up with another visit to the last green, winning by two holes against Mary Smith (Tain), the Scottish seniors stroke-play champion last year.
Moira Thomson had a good 2 and 1 win over a that capable Royal Montrose player Kathleen Sutherland before beating the defending match-play champion, Lorna Bennett (Ladybank) at the 20th hole in the last quarter-final to finish.

Dunbartonshire & Argyll, without their GB&I team selection and county champion Kylie Walker managed to edge a 5-4 win over Ayrshire, which represented a good afternoon's work by Ayrshire. They had lost the morning foursomes 2-1 but battled hard to share the singles 3-3
Tomorrow, it's Renfrewshire v Ayrshire and Lanarkshire v Dunbartonshire & Argyll.
On Wednesday, it's Lanarkshire v Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire & Argyll v Renfrewshire.

Kylie Walker and Pamela Pretswell are selected for the Vagliano Trophy Match
GB & I Vagliano Team announced for 2009 match at Hamburg Germany
There are seven new Great Britain & Ireland caps in the team of nine selected for the Vagliano Trophy match against the Continent of Europe at Hamburg Golf Club, Germany on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th July.
The team, to be captained by Mary McKenna with Tegwen Matthews as manager, is:
JODI EWART (Catterick), Age 21.
RACHEL JENNINGS (Izaak Walton), Age 20.
LEONA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.
LISA MAGUIRE (Slieve Russell), Age 14.
DANIELLE McVEIGH (Royal Co Down Ladies), Age 21.
PAMELA PRETSWELL (Bothwell Castle), Age 20.
RHIAN WYN THOMAS (Vale of Glamorgan), Age 22.
KYLIE WALKER (Buchanan Castle), Age 22.
SALLY WATSON (Elie & Earlsferry), Age 17.
Reserves:
1 KELLY TIDY (Royal Birkdale), Age 17.
2 HANNAH BARWOOD (Knowle), Age 18.
3 CARLY BOOTH (Comrie), Age 16.
4 LAURA COLLIN (John O’Gaunt), Age 22
Big-hitting Kylie Walker (pictured left)beat an international field and followed in the footsteps of Annika Sorenstam to win the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews this year. Actually, Annika won the tournament only once, and Kylie has had back-to-back “St Rule” wins, a feat last achieved by Solheim Cup player Catriona (Lambert) Matthew in 1993-94 and by only one other player, also a Scot - Christine Middleton (Cruden Bay) in 1988-89.
Pamela Pretswell, (pictured right)a Glasgow University student, was Scottish Universities champion in 2008 but her biggest win last year came on a holiday trip when she beat a quality continental field to win the Swiss Women’s Open Amateur Championship.
This year, despite important university exams, Pamela was able to win the West of Scotland title but after winning a sackful of trophies in the qualifying rounds of the Scottish Ladies’ (Close) Championship at Southerness, the after-effects of a pre-tournament illness drained her and she lost early in the match-play stages.
In last week’s British Championship, Pamela was the last Scot to be knocked out, but only at the 20th in the third round by Laura Collin who went on to remove Leona Maguire in the quarter-finals.
West Girls are Runners Up in the Inter Divisional Matches
East retained the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association girls' inter-district team title at Ballumbie Castle golf course, near Dundee, after the two-day competition.
East totalled 7pt, West 5, North 4, South 2pt.
We lost 3-0 to the East which was disappointing but they did have a very strong team and quite a few of our stronger ones weren't able to go but they bounced back and beat the South 3-0 on Saturday afternoon then had a close game against the North on Sunday morning but we won 2-1 which meant we were second overall.
Nancy Chisholm receives the M.B.E.
Ayrshire's Nancy Chisholm (nee Smillie) has been honoured in the Queens Birthday Honours List with the award of an M.B.E. for voluntary contribution to ladies golf.
This is the latest in a list of honours conferred on Nancy recently, having been elected an Honorary Vice President of both the Ladies Golf Union and Scottish ladies' Golfing Association in the last year. Nancy served as LGU chairman in 1997 and Scottish Ladies Golfing Association president from 2003-2007.
A lifelong member of Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club, which she joined as a junior member, Nancy continues to play golf to a fine standard, and cites her favourite club and deadliest weapon as “father’s antique hickory jigger!”
A former Ladies Club Captain, and Club Champion of St. Nicholas ladies on no fewer than 10 occasions, Nancy has held many senior positions in ladies golf at a national and international level, as well as having undertaken refereeing duties at many major international amateur event, and this latest award is a very fitting and well deserved recognition of her many years of voluntary work on behalf of ladies golf and golfers.
In 2004, Prestwick St. Nicholas conferred Honorary Membership on Nancy in recognition of her outstanding contribution to golf in Scotland and further afield.
Nancy is also a member and past captain of West Kilbride Ladies, a club which holds her in equally high esteem as St. Nicholas for her contribution to club and country over the years.
Sincere congratulations from the Ayrshire Golf Association, and no doubt from many golfers throughout the county and beyond, go to Nancy on this well deserved award.
Many congratulations from all in the West of Scotland --- Nancy

Lady Captain Gladys Speedie gave a very nice tribute to Sheila in her presentation speech
