THURSDAY UPDATE

Great excitement from Baberton today. Megan was first up in the Scratch event and shot a very respectable 79 which was playing to her handicap and now sits proudly in 13th position in the Scottish Girls Order of Merit. Amy was next up in the handicap event and shot 80, four under her handicap finished tied 4th and reducing her exact handicap to 9.9. This week will prove to be a huge stepping stone for both Amy and Megan. It proves to them both that they can play with and compete against the best under 18's in Scotland. Although they had both done that against the best under 18's in Europe earlier this season at Strathmore, it is a different challenge doing it on another course. Can't wait for the Scottish Girls Under 16's when they will be not only competing in their own age group but also against the the rest of Europe and I believe this week will give them that extra bit of confidence which is required if you want to be the best. Great result for them both and loved getting their updates after every round.

Kirsty was playing in the European Junior Master in Switzerland but didn't have the best of rounds and will be hoping for an improvement tomorrow.
