GIRLS INTER-DIVISION MATCHES

This weekend was the Gilrs Inter-division Matches played at Ballumbie Castle Golf Club. 6 girls from each of the four divisions played foursomes matchplay. Two Strathmore members were seleceted to play in the North Division they were sisters Megan and Emily Aird. The North Division is made up of Perth and Kinross, Angus, Aberdeen and Northern Counties. This is the first year in the 5 year history of the event that P&K have put forward two representitives. All the girls who take part must not have a handicap lower than 6 and all matches are played scratch in a Foursome fourmat.

On Saturday North's first first match was against South. Hannah McCook (Northern Coutnies) and Louise McGillvary (Aberdeenshire) had a very tough match which ended in South's favour by 1 hole. Katie Reid (Angus) and Emily won their match convincingly 4&3 and Jemma Chalmers (Angus) and Megan won their match 1up. In the afternoon we played East where Hannah and Louise won their match 1 up however Katie and Emily lost by one hole and Jemma and Megan lost 6&4. On Sunday we played West where we lost the over all match by 2-1. All matches were well fought and the girls play was fantastic. Hannah and Louise lost their match 3&2 as did Jemma and Megan. However Katie and Emily provided a grand stand finish when their opponents put their ball out of bounds and the next shot was placed in the bunker. Katie then played a 165 yard up hill shot to an elevated green 6 ft from the pin!!! A fantastic finish to a wonderful weekend.

The final scores were
East 7 points
West 5 points
North 4 points
South 2 points

Well done to the girls it was a joy to watch and we even managed to stay dry on Sunday!!
