Sheila and Jamie with the SLGA

What a fantastic final today in the Scottish Under 18's Championship between West of Scotland's Connie Jaffrey from Troon Ladies and Tara Mactaggart from the South of Scotland Minto Golf Club.
Connie was out in 35 and won at the 15th with a fine display of how the course should be played !!

Unfortunately there was a poor attendance from club members to come out and watch the final which was disappointing

A week after her 16th birthday, Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse) claimed the top spot in the qualifying strokeplay at the Paul Lawrie Foundation Scottish Girls’ Championship at Ranfurly Castle.

The Midlothian youngster led after an opening 74 – it turned out to be the best score of the Championship - and a second round 78 was good enough for four over par and a one shot advantage over Minto’s Tara MacTaggart (76, 77). 

Defending champion Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) had a 77 for a share of third place on six over par – Clara Young (North Berwick), the beaten finalist at the Scottish Ladies’ Championship at Longniddry in May, had a 75 and slipped into ninth place. 

Other notable qualifiers included Nicola Callander (Mill Green), who will defend the Scottish Junior Open Strokeplay in Inverness next week, on 13 over par, the 2010 champion Lesley Atkins (Gullane) on 15 over and  German-based Fiona Liddell, who represented GB and Ireland at the Junior Vagliano Trophy last month, was on 16 over. 

The top 32 qualify for the matchplay knock-out with the next 16 going into the draw for the Ansley Reid Salver.

Many congratulations go to Ranfurly Castle's Alex Qayum who has qualified for the Matchplay stages which begin tomorrow

ALEX IS FIGHTING HER WAY AFTER ROUND 1 OF THE SCOTTISH UNDER 18'S

Some Girls at the SLGA Under 18's Championship at Ranfurly Castle.

Glencorse's Emily Dalgetty was the only player to match the par of 74 in the first qualifying round of the Scottish Under-18 girls' Championship at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club, Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire today.
Emily had birdies at the short seventh, the long eight and the 10th in halves of 37. She bogeyed the ninth but was heading for a sub-par score until she had further bogeys at the 16th and 18th.
Dalgetty will start the second eliminating round one stroke ahead of Nicola Robertson (Dunblane New) who was beaten finalist in last week's North of Scotland women's championship at Deeside GC, Aberdeen.
Robertson had a double bogey 6 at the first hole but birdied three long holes, the sixth, eighth and 11th, to be under par until she bogeyed the 17th and 18th for halves of 38 and 37.
Defending champion Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) is tied for sixth place on 77.
Only the leading 32 players after the second qualifying round will go forward to the match play stages.
Going into the decisive second round, there are 34 players with scores of 85 or better.

ALEX QAYUM PLAYS IN THE SCOTTISH GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH BEGINS TOMORROW

Lauren Whyte (St Regulus) defends the Scottish Girls' Amateur Championship at Ranfurly Castle from July 16-20 - but the young Fifer will face a tough challange.

Clara Young (North Berwick) showed her quality by reaching the final of the Scottish Ladies' Amateur Championship at Longniddry in May, while Nicola Callander (Mill Green) won the Scottish Junior (under-21) Open Strokeplay Championship at Blairgowrie last year.

German-based Fiona Liddell is just 15, but she reached the last 16 at the Scottish Ladies' Championship (she lost to young) and is fresh from playing for GB and Ireland in the Junior Vagliano Trophy in France.

Another big threat will be Lesley Atkins (Gullane). She won the title at Eyemouth in 2010 - and this will be her final year in the Championship.

Whyte won the title at Crail last year and went on to represent GB at the Australian Youth Olympics in January. She is the back marker in the field of 62 with a plus one handicap.

After 36 holes of stroke play qualifying, the top 32 go through to the matchplay knock-out. The next 16 qualify for the Ansley Reid Salver.
