Scots women have mountain to climb to make top eight in Austria
The Scotland women's team, who gained bronze medals in Spain last year, will be hard pushed to qualify for the top flight of the European women's team championship at Murhof GC in Austria this week.
With Scottish champion Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) listed as a No Return - more likely that she was unable to play for some reason - all five Scots scores counted, which was a pity because Vagliano Trophy player Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) and Mortonhall teenager Rachael Watton both had seven-over-par 79s.
The Scotland counting scores were:
Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) par 72, Megan Briggs 73, Jane Turner (Craigielaw) 73, Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) 79, Rachael Watton (Mortonhall) 79.
Megan Briggs was going very well indeed when she turned in 34, having birdied the fourth, seventh and eighth, but she took 39 shots for the back nine.
Jane Turner was out in 37 and back in 36.
Kelsey MacDonald had halves of 39 and 40. She had one birdie, one double bogey and six bogeys.
Rachael Watton had halves of 40 and 39.
Pamela Pretswell went out in 35 and back in 37 for her par-matching round, even though she had a double bogey 6 at the third. The G B and A Vagliano Trophy team player birdied the first, sixth, ninth and 14th.
The Scots are lying joint 15th on 376 with Denmark (345) leading the way from Spain (356), Germany (359) and England (363).
Somehow, the Scots have to make up the leeway between them and the team/teams in seventh/eighth place overnight: Sweden and France, both on 367.
Ireland, surprisingly with a very strong team on paper, are back in 12th place on 370.
Wales are 19th of 20.
Spanish champion Camilla Hedberg, who played for the Continent of Europe's winning Vagliano Trophy team at Royal Porthcawl a week or so ago, had the best individual round of five-under-par 67.
Scotland are unlikely to qualify for the top flight of the European girls team championship at Is Molas GC, Sardinia. They are lying 16th in a field of 19 with a first-round, best five from six team total of 400 - 24 shots worse than the team in eighth place overnight, Norway.
Scotland scores were: Elidh Briggs 75, Alyson McKechin 76, Hannah McCook 82, Clara Young 82, Ailsa Summers 85, Lauren Whyte 86 (non-counting).
England's Lauren Taylor, the new British women's champion, had the lowest score of three-under-par 69. She was one of nine players to get under the par of 72.
Finland (361) lead from England (363) and Spain (367). Ireland and Wales, like Scotland, are unlikely to make the top flight of eight. The Irish are lying 15th on 398, the Welsh 17th on 421.

Janice Moodie Trophy - Clober's Nichola Ferguson is 1st in the 18 - 21 Age Group

| Leading prizewinners (left to right): Charlotte Munro, Nichola Ferguson, Rachel Polson, Lesley Atkins and Rachel Walker - click to enlarge |
Report by Carol Whyte:
A total of 39 players played in the Janice Moodie Trophy at Windyhill Golf Club today. The course was in fantastic condition considering the recent wet weather. The green staff are to be congratulated as they have done an amazing job on the course and had the greens running at 11 on the stimp metre making it very challenging day for the girls. The girls also faced some tough pin positions given that the semi finals of the Gents Club Championship was being played later in the evening.
The competition was a outstanding advert for Scottish girls golf with a field including Scottish girls internationalists as well as some of the promising younger players . The ages ranged from 11 - 21 and the handicaps from +1 to 29. The ladies who had kindly volunteered to ball spot today were very impressed with the quality of the golf that they saw. A mention also has to go to one of our youngest competitiors, Charlotte Munro aged 11, who managed to win her age category despite having rushed from finising school in Gullane earlier in the day.
Rachel Polson was the overall winner with a gross 73 for a nett 67. Lesley Atkins equalled the score of 73 to win the the scratch prize. Both are to be congratulated on their scores.
Once again the girls were well look after thanks to Janice's generosity and enjoyed drinks and lunch courtesy of Janice after the competition.
Lastly thanks must go to everyone involved in organising the day and also to Janice for her continuing support of this popular event.

There was never more than one hole in the match with the lead exchanging hands throughout the course of the final. Heather birdied the 1st with a birdie four before Noreen won the 2nd with a par and Heather went back to one up with a par at the 4th. Noreen squared the match once again with a birdie 3 on the 365 yard 5th hole and then took the lead for the first time at the 8th hole with a par four. Heather once again squared the match with a birdie 2 at the tricky par three 11th hole.
The next four holes were halved before Noreen once again took the upper hand. She put her approach shot at the par four 16th hole to 6 feet and sunk the putt to go one up. That proved decisive as the final two holes were halved in pars to give Noreen a 1 hole victory.

Last year's runner up, Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie) will play the second seed, Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) in the final of the Scottish Senior Ladies' (Close) Match Play Championship at Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club this afternoon (Friday 1 July).
Heather was approximately level par in beating top qualifier West of Scotland's Alex Glennie (Kilmarnock Barassie)in her semi-final by 5 & 4. Noreen Fenton was 4 up after 6 holes against Janice Paterson (Drumpellier) but Janice chipped away at her lead to be only 1 down standing on the 18th tee. The last hole was halved in par 5's and that was enough for Noreen to book her place in the final. Noreen was approximately three over par for the round.
In the final of the inaugural Handicap Championship, Caroline King (Clober) was well under her handicap in beating Margot Barr (Gairloch) by 6&5.
Live scoring will once again be in operation for this afternoon's final which tees off at 1:30pm (Friday 1 July).

Scottish Seniors Championship - Round 1
ALISON BARTLETT LEADS SCOTTISH SENIORS AT HALFWAY
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Royal Dornoch’s Alison Bartlett is the halfway leader in the Scottish senior women’s amateur stroke-play golf championship at Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club, near Stranraer, today.
Alison, one of the farthest travelled players in the field of 77, shot a two-over-par 73 to lead by two shots from Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) and Lanark’s May Hughes.
Bartlett was four over par after bogeys at the fifth, sixth, short seventh and 12th before finishing strongly with a birdie at the par-4 17th and anotther birdie at the par-5 18th for one-under-par 34 for the inward nine holes.
Fenton was four over par after only four holes, with a double bogey 7 at the long third and bogeys at the second and fifth. Birdies at the ninth and long 11th helped her salvage halves of 39 and 36.
Defending champion Heather Anderson is lying joint fourth on 76. The short holes were costly for the Blairgowrie player – double bogeys at the par-3 seventh and 11th and another shot shead at the short 10th in halves of 39 and 37.
The seniors’ stroke-play event is a championship in itself over 36 holes but the 16 players with the lowest aggregates at the end of two rounds will go forward to conest the Scottish senior match-play championship.

Scottish Seniors Championship begins on Tuesday 28th June
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE S L G A
Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie) will be defending the Scottish Seniors’ Strokeplay Championship against a strong field at Portpatrick Dunskey from June 28-July 1.
The Championship is split into two events. The strokeplay winner is crowned after the first 36-holes – the top 16 players then go through to battle it out for the matchplay title.
Fiona De Vries (St Regulus), who was the runner-up in the strokeplay at Fortrose and Rosemarkie last year, is unable to defend the Matchplay Championship as she broke her leg in April when she was competing for Scotland at the World Senior Curling Championships in Minnesota.
Scotland won the European Seniors’ Team Championship last year and Anderson will be joined in the line-up by another four members of the gold medal winning squad – the Tain pair of Mary Smith and Anne Ryan, Moira Thomson (Gullane) and Lorna Bennett (Ladybank).
Bennett, a many times Fife Champion, is the backmarker with a handicap of one and the majority of the 80-strong field have handicaps in single figures.
Heather Anderson (Blairgowrie) will be defending the Scottish Seniors’ Strokeplay Championship against a strong field at Portpatrick Dunskey from June 28-July 1.
The Championship is split into two events. The strokeplay winner is crowned after the first 36-holes – the top 16 players then go through to battle it out for the matchplay title.
Fiona De Vries (St Regulus), who was the runner-up in the strokeplay at Fortrose and Rosemarkie last year, is unable to defend the Matchplay Championship as she broke her leg in April when she was competing for Scotland at the World Senior Curling Championships in Minnesota.
Scotland won the European Seniors’ Team Championship last year and Anderson will be joined in the line-up by another four members of the gold medal winning squad – the Tain pair of Mary Smith and Anne Ryan, Moira Thomson (Gullane) and Lorna Bennett (Ladybank).
