Does this season just get better and better - YES IT DOES
Scots Girls Set for Norway Challenge
14, June 2016
The Scotland Girls’ side has been named for their European Amateur Team Championship in Norway next month.
A six-player team will contest the annual event, this year being held at Oslo GC from 5 – 9 July.
Hazlehead’s Jasmine Mackintosh has been selected, fresh from winning the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Vase event at Macdonald Cardrona on Sunday.
Troon Ladies’ Hazel MacGarvie, who tied third in the Borders, is also joined by Kirsty Brodie from Strathmore, who finished second in the recent Paul Lawrie Foundation Scottish Schools Championship at Murrayshall.
Jillian Farrell from Cardross and West Kilbride’s Louise Duncan have earned selection too, with Gullane Ladies’ Joanne Free the most experienced player in the team, aged 18.
Steve Paulding, Scottish Golf Performance Director, said: “This is a very young team and for the majority of them this will be their first European Championship.
“The competition will be tough, but it will hopefully be a great learning experience for them. We are expecting each of the girls to go out and match their best performances of the year. It would be great to make the top eight matchplay stage, but that will require everyone to play at their best.”
Aboyne’s Shannon McWilliam, one of the youngest ever winners of last year’s Ladies’ Order of Merit, is unavailable for selection due to school commitments.
