MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State senior women's golfer Connie Jaffrey (Troon Ladies)
is one of 25 international women in contention to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced Thursday.
Jaffrey, a native of Kilwinning, Scotland, was ranked No. 15 among international women thanks to a No. 46 showing in the latest Golfstat national rankings.

Holding an 18-5 record against current members of the top 100, Jaffrey's current season stroke average of 71.43 is tops in school history by over two strokes. She has totaled three top-five finishes this year, including victories in the Marilynn Smith/Sunflower Invitational in September and Maryb S. Kauth Invitational in October.

LOUDOUN GOWF PAIR WIN AYRSHIRE COUNTY WINTER FOURSOMES
 |
| From L to R - Liz Wilson (Captain) Aileen Anderson, Sheila Adams, Helen Craig and Irene Papworth |
Due to temporary greens in play at Prestwick St Nicholas, the final of the Ayrshire County Winter Foursomes was played over Kilmarnock Barassie.
When it was played in February— It was a dry but extremely cold day with everyone well wrapped up against the elements!
The final was between the Loudoun Gowf pair Aileen Anderson and Sheila Adams against the West Kilbride’s Helen Craig and Irene Papworth (Skelmorlie)
To the match itself, Helen and Irene got off to a flying start with a great putt to win the first hole. However, Sheila and Aileen hit some great form, including a birdie at the Railway hole, to end the front nine 4 up!
They stretched their lead to 5 after the 11th but a fantastic fight back from Helen and Irene, winning 5 of the next 6 holes took them to the 18th all square.
Extra holes looked on the cards but a 2 putt from long range was good enough for Sheila and Aileen to win by one hole.

SCOTTISH GOLF AGM POSTPONED
Many thanks to you all for your continued support in the extraordinary weather conditions. The number of proxy votes returned has been high and we are appreciative that so many of you have taken the opportunity to ensure that your vote was lodged ahead of today's cut off time.
Quite apart from the care and consideration of our members' safety, it is important that the right democratic decisions are taken and for that we need everyone who wishes to attend the AGM to be able to attend.
I am advised by our lawyers that, as the AGM for Sunday has been properly and validly called, it is (strangely, even by our lawyers' own admission) not possible legally to cancel the meeting.
However, given the weather conditions and the importance of shareholder participation and discussion of the matters and resolutions proposed at this Sunday's AGM, I propose to open the AGM myself on Sunday and, with sufficient proxies already received to constitute a quorum, I propose to exercise the discretion delegated to me under our articles to adjourn the meeting to Saturday 10 March 2018, at the same time and venue as the original notification outlined.
The extenuating weather circumstances have brought about an unprecedented position, which we have had to work with to the best of our ability, taking into account the travel advice and also venue availability for an alternative date.
I would also note that Sunday 11 March is Mothering Sunday, traditionally a family day for our members.
I hope you agree that this is a fair and sensible decision and I very much hope to see you at the reconvened AGM on Saturday 10 March 2018.
Yours sincerely Eleanor Cannon Chair

This will be, in part, our contribution to International Women’s Day, #PressForProgress which is on Thursday 8th March.
