First Tournament in Florida for West of Scotland's Alyson McKechin
A women’s golf squad, headed by Scottish champion Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar),are currently taking part in three events on the women's amateur Orange Blossom Tour in Florida. Stirling University students who are on this trip along with Kelsey are: Rebecca Wilson, Jordana Graham, Eilidh Mackay, Harriet Beasley, Flore Lafaille
Two guest golfers are also part of the Stirling squad - Renfrewshire's Scottish Junior Internationalist Alyson McKechin (Elderslie), who intends to apply for a September 2011 entry place at Stirling, and English Curtis Cup player Holly Clyburn (Woodhall Spa).
The squad is competing in the following events: the Harder Hall Invitational, Sebring; the South Atlantic Championship, Ormond Beach; and the Doherty Championship match-play event at Fort Lauderdale.
The Stirling women's squad is accompanied by Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire's coach, Stirling graduate and former British amateur internationalist, Lesley Mackay who is now the Head Coach at Playsport in East Kilbride.
The first event which was completed yesterday was the the 56th annual Harder Hall Women’s Invitational and it had an outstanding beginning with record setting scores in the first round and ended with a most exciting finish with the top three players all having the opportunity to win in the last three holes.

Clare Queen had a 2 under par final round and makes the full European Tour for the Seventh time
Clare Queen, made it and can look forward to a seventh successive season on the Ladies European Tour. Rookie Carly Booth failed by the narrowest margin, one shot outside being involved in a play-off for the last of the 30 Category 8a memberships.
Clare, who is attached to The Carrick at Loch Lomond, tied for 16th place with scores of 74, 70, 77, 76 and 71. Her last round, under pressure after her third and fourth rounds had her slipping into the danger zone, for a 368 aggregate showed the former British girls champion still has what it takes. She will gain full access to all the events on the LET schedule for 2011.
Young Carly has had to settle for Category 9b membership which will give her a number of outings but not to the bigger events where she will be too far down the pecking order to get into them.
Many congratulations Clare

Ladies European Tour -- Clare Queen needs one more good round in the Qualifying School
The European Tour Qualifying School has been held at La Manga Spain this week and after 4 rounds Clare Queen is on 297 - one shot inside the projected cut-off mark. She started well at La Manga with opening rouns of 74 and 70 for 144 but her third and fourth rounds of 77 and 76 have totalled nine shots worse - 153.
The Carrick at Loch Lomond player, a former British girls champion, just needs to keep her nerve in Sunday's crunch round and she can be back where she belongs for a seventh season on the LET.
Carly Booth from Comrie is one shot outside the leading 32 and ties at the moment with a 72-hole tally of 299 but she had a fourth-round of 71 which will give her some confidence for the showdown run. She had earlier scored 75, 75 and 78.
Pamela Feggans and Heather McCrae both missed the cut.
