GERMANY CALLING! -- Lanarkshire's Rachael Taylor shoots best-ever round of 66


Thanks go to Colin Farquharson for this report --

E-mail from Rachael Taylor (Based in Germany)

Just wanted to let you know that I am playing with my team Golf Club Am Reichswald in the Bavarian Ladies Team Championships this week. The top eight Bavarian teams compete for the title.
The teams play a stroke-play round the first day and the top four teams compete for the title. I had a fantastic first round yesterday (Thursday) and finished with a nine under par (and personal best) leading round of 66!
It feels great to have achieved that score. My drives were straight and I just kept knocking the ball in for birdies!
It went past so quickly it hasn't quite sunk in yet.
The matchplay stages start today and my team and I will come up against Münchener Golf−Club e.V, the defending champions. They beat us in a play-off last year so we are looking forward to a good match.
You can see the scores on http://www.bayerischer-golfverband.de/ 
There will be live scoring again today.
I will be in Scotland for the St Rule at the end of the month.
Regards Rachael

PAMELA PRETSWELL STRUGGLES IN SWEDEN

The Scottish challenge in the Kristianstad Ahus Ladies Open in Sweden was halved for the final round when Glasgow's Gemma Webster and Pamela Feggans from Patna, Ayrshire missed the 36-hole cut. Gemma shot 79-76 for 155 and missed out by one shot - Ten over par qualified but 11 over par did not. Pamela had scores of 81-83 for 164 and was never going to make it. Up at the sharp end of the scoreboard,
Carnoustie's Katy McNicoll hung on in there in a share of sixth place on 148 after scores of 72 and 76. She had five bogeys in an outward 39 but eight pars and one bogey on the way home.
Curtis Cup amateur Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) had a most uncharacteristic, error-strewn round of 80, eight shots worse than her first-day score. She has slumped out of the top 10 to joint 22nd on 152.

Pamela Pretswell had two birdies, at the first and 10th, but she also had two double bogeys, at the fifth and 13th, and six bogeys in halves of 39-41.

MEGAN AND ALYSON SHARE 18th SPOT IN WALES

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Colin@scottishgolfview.com


Welsh champion and Curtis Cup reserve Becky Harries produced arguably the best round of her life just when she needed it most to win the prestigious Welsh women's open amateur stroke-play championship over the Ashburnham links on the South Wales coast today.
Starting the final day four shots behind overnight leader Chloe Williams (Wrexham) and in joint fifth place, the 23-year-old from the Haverfordwest club stormed round in five-under-par 69 for a final total of two-under-par 220.

Top Scot for the second weekend in a row was Laura Murray (Alford). Joint third last week at Troon, Laura finished ninth at Ashburnham with scores of 79-77-74.
The big hitting winner of the St Rule Trophy two years ago (when she beat Amy Boulden in a play-off), Laura had an eagle at the fifth and birdies at the third and 17th.
Four late bogeys - at the 14th, 15th, 16th and 18th - cost Murray a top five or six placing.
Second best Scot was Carnoustie teenager Jessica Meek in 11th place on 233 with scores of 78-75-80.
Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) and former Scottish champion Megan Briggs (Kilmacolm) also failed to break 80 in the final round but made the final top 2-20.
Alyson scored 77-81-80 for 238, the same aggregate as Megan with scores of 77-78-83. They were joint 18th.
Curtis Cup team selection Charley Hull (Woburn) did not defend the title.

CARLY BOOTH WINS THE LADIES SCOTTISH OPEN

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
By BETHAN CUTLER, LET Media Manager
Perthshire teenager Carly Booth pulled away from a jammed leader board to win the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open presented by EventScotland on a glorious final day at Archerfield Links in East Lothian.
The 19-year-old from Comrie fired rounds of 70, 71 and 71 to end on a total of four under par 212, having played through near-freezing conditions earlier in the week. She ended a stroke clear of England’s Florentyna Parker and Australian Frances Bondad.
Parker had a chance to force a play-off with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole but missed it. Booth secured her par and with it, her maiden Ladies European Tour victory.
“I’m still 19 and I’ve just won my first Ladies European Tour event so I’m just happy,” said Booth. “It would especially make my day if Liverpool win!”
Booth came into the round tied for the lead with Parker and Stacy Lee Bregman and played the front nine in level par with two birdies against two bogeys.
She took the outright lead with a birdie at the 11th but Parker birdied the 12th to catch her, before an unexpected swing at the par-four 16th.
Booth rescued a fantastic par after driving the ball into the rough right of the fairway but followed with a skilful 30 yard pitch-and-run shot to within five feet of the flag and holed it.
Parker, meanwhile, who had split the fairway with her drive and played her second to the green, rushed her first putt past the hole and missed the return resulting in a dropped shot.
It was then Booth’s to lose and she made another great save at the 17th before making par from out of a bunker short of the green at the last.
“It was only about two feet and I only just got it in the hole. I must have just felt the nerves there. I was fine all the way up until that putt, put it that way. I just didn’t feel anything until I holed that putt because I realised, ‘This is it!’
“It stopped at least for a second and I thought it was going to come up short. It was like the longest two foot putt I’ve ever had to hole,” Booth said.
Barry Hume, who effectively retired from playing on the men’s European Tour recently, was on caddie duties for the second successive year at the event and predicted that the 19-year-old would be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
“She’s barely scratched the surface of her potential. I think this will be the first of many wins,” Hume said.
After narrowly missing out on finishing in the top 30 places at Ladies European Tour Qualifying School for the 2012 season, Booth had received an invitation to play in the tournament from her sponsor, Aberdeen Asset Management.
She will now receive a full winner’s exemption to play on the Ladies European Tour until the end of 2014 and has also stamped her place at the lucrative Evian Masters tournament in July, the Ricoh Women’s British Open taking place at Royal Liverpool in September and the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open next year.
Destined for stardom from a young age (she had a handicap of 20 when she was only seven years old), the precocious teen was the youngest ever club champion in Britain at the age of 11 at Dunblane New and number one junior in Europe in 2007, the same year she lifted the Scottish Under-18 and Under-21 titles.
In 2008, she was the youngest ever player to represent Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup at St Andrews.
After one of her early defeats, her father, Wally, built a huge practice bunker on the 15-hole golf course in their Perthshire garden and she said that it had proved useful, as she had faced four of the most difficult bunker shots of her career during the week at Archerfield Links.
As a professional, she was one of the youngest players ever to join the Ladies European Tour when she joined aged 17 in January 2010 and having struggled in her early career, a breakout moment came a fortnight ago with her maiden professional win at the Dinard Ladies Open on the LET Access Series in France, which gave her the belief needed to push through her first win on the top-flight tour.
While Booth was all smiles, England’s Trish Johnson, who ended in three-way share of fourth place on two under with Australian Stacey Keating and Melissa Reid, was still smarting from what could have been her 22nd career victory.
Johnson had a chance to steal the limelight as she was seven under par for the day after 11 holes, but came unstuck on the back nine.
At the 14th, she hit a flyer into a gorse bush over the back of the green and had to take a penalty drop. Despite escaping with a bogey, she then dropped shots at the 16th and 18th holes, ending her chances.
She was playing with the 2011 event champion Catriona Matthew, who ended in a share of 20th position and felt that she played well, but had too many loose shots over the first two days to launch a fight back.

CURTIS CUP CENTENARIAN PHYL WYLIE HAS HAD A FALL


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Hopes that Troon-based centenarian Phyllis Wylie, the oldest surviving Curtis Cup player on either side of the Atlantic, would be well enough to be taken on even a day trip to Nairn during the week of the June 8-10 match against the United States have receded.
Essex-born Phyl (Wade) Wylie, whose husband, a Scot, Surgeon-Capt J L Wylie, died many years ago, lives in a big house opposite the 17th hole at Royal Troon Golf Club. She had a fall recently and is now in hospital.
Ladies Golf Union chief executive and herself a Troon resident, Shona Malcolm said:
"While we would love to have Phyl with us in Nairn, it seems unlikely that she'll be able to make the trip. She is currently in the Biggart Hospital in Prestwick, convalescing after a recent fall in her home.
"She is, however, extremely interested in what's going on and I know some of the ladies from her golf club in Troon were taking her Curtis Cup badges and golf results from last weekend's Helen Holm tournament. Everyone involved in the Curtis Cup wishes Phyl a speedy recovery."
As Phyl Wade she was English champion in 1934 and played in the six-a-side Curtis Cup match of 1938 at Essex County Club, near Boston, Massachusetts - the home club of the Curtis sisters who donated the trophy.
Phyl's GB&I team-mates were Jessie Anderson (Valentine), Helen Holm, Nan Baird, Elsie Corlett and Claire Tiernan.
GB&I led 2 1/2-1/2 at the end of the first day but lost five of the six singles on the secodn day and the Americans, whose team included names such as Patty Berg and Glenna Collett Vare, won 5 1/2-3 1/2.
Phyl was married in 1939 and she and her husband set up home at Stewarton, Ayrshire.
Phyl became a member of Troon Ladies and the Ayrshire women's county team for many post-war years. She won the county title in 1954, beating Helen Holm in the final. Mrs Wylie  has been captain and present of the country over the years and is an honorary member of Troon Ladies and her original club, Parkstone, near Bournemouth.
Phyl was a guest of honour at St Andrews during the 2008 match played over the Old Course and met up with other past Curtis Cup players - of a different vintage - to have lunch in the R&A clubhouse. Her biggest thrill was holding the Curtis Cup trophy after all these years (that's the picture above).
She will celebrate her 101st birthday in August. Last year the Troon Ladies club put on a special 100th birthday party for her in the clubhouse.
+Make it your good deed for the day: Why not sent Phyl a "Get Well" card at Biggart Hospital? I'm sure she would be pleased that people still remember her.
The postal address is: Biggart Hospital, 1 Biggart Road, Prestwick, Ayrshire KA9 2HQ
