NORTH OF SCOTLAND GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP
Megan Thom (Alyth) on left with Megan Ashley (Strathmore) on right
Megan Ashley (Strathmore) pipped Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) for the North of Scotland girls' championship at Strathmore Golf Centre today.
Both returned gross scores of 76 but Megan had the better inward half.
Ashley is a five handicapper and McWilliam plays off +3.
Megan Thom (Alyth) (15) won the handicap trophy with a net 69.
Runner-up was Carmen Griffiths (Aboyne) (5) with a 72.
Flora McGregor shot a nett 57 and reduced her handicap to a full Congu of 35 and I believe she has the ability to become our next great hope.

P&K 3 BOYS TEAM EVENT
SCRATCH LEAGUE SEMI FINAL 1ST LEG
Friday, 12 August 2016
FINAL ROUND OF SCOTTISH GIRLS UNDER 16's
Arguably, the unluckiest player of the championship was Megan Ashley from Strathmore who was forced to retire on the second day due to a quirk of nature. She was on one over having birdied the first and was going for a par on the fourth, when she was stung by a wasp.
“It was hidden in the bag and came out of nowhere,” she explained. “I just leapt away, as it was a shock, then I thought ‘what?!’ I was really gutted as I played well yesterday and was in seventh.
“It hurts,” she added, “but I’m trying to look on the positive side and learn from it – look out for wasps next time! I’m absolutely gutted but I will be coming back next year with a very good chance of winning.”
That's the confidence needed to be a winner.

SCOTTISH GIRLS U16 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Hannah Screen (Berkhamsted) shot a one-over-par 68 to lead by three strokes at the end of the first round of the Scottish U16 girls' open championship at Aberdour Golf Club today. She had birdies at the third, 13th and 17th in halves of 34. She bogeyed the first, eighth, 10th and 11th.
In second place is Belgium's Rebecca Becht from the Royal Waterloo club. She was heading for at least a share of the lead when she was level par for the tournament on the 16th tee, having had only two variations from par .. a bogey at the short seventh and a birdie 2 at the short 15th. But it all went pear-shaped for Rebecca over the last three holes. She bogeyed the 16th, ran up a double bogey 6 at the 17th and bogeyed the 18th - four shots dropped over three holes in havles of 34-37.
The leading Scottish players are joint seventh on 75 - Jennifer Rankine (Haggs castle), Megan Ashley (Strathmore) and Anna Mackenzie (East Renfrewshire).

PERSONAL INVITE FROM OPEN CHAMPION PAUL LAWRIE
Megan has been invited to play in the AAM Paul Lawrie Matchplay at Archerfield. She will experience what it's like to live the life of a Tour Pro and play in front of spectators and TV cameras. She will love it and her bubbly personality and confidence in her own ability will be given a chance to shine through and I believe this could be the catalyst to greater things.
Plans/itinerary for Sunday.
ACCOMMODATION has been booked for the kids at the Marine Hotel in North Berwick (5 minutes by car from Archerfield). For those who require accommodation, this will be on a twin/sharing basis for the night of 6th August. Arrival at the hotel will be from early afternoon on the 6th.
TRANSPORT from the hotel to the venue in official tournament vehicles will be arranged for the morning of Sunday 7th August.
CHAPERONE – Karyn Dallas (Scottish Golf) will also stay at the Marine Hotel and will accompany the group at the hotel and to the venue.
THE EVENT - The four boys & four girls will be drawn to play against one another in semi-final matches (morning) and afternoon finals matches (the winners from the morning matches). The morning matches will start between 7am – 7.30am with the afternoon matches going off around 12.20pm & 12.30pm. The kids will be playing on the same course (with the tees slightly adjusted) as the European Tour Professionals playing in the AAM Paul Lawrie Matchplay. We hope you enjoy the experience of playing a superb course in front of spectators!
TICKETS are available for parents/grandparents (note U18s are free of charge). Please let me know of your requirements and I will arrange to have tickets left aside for you to access the event. All of the group will be issued with passes to allow them to access Player Only areas, not accessible to the public.
BOYS – Connor Wilson, Cameron Gallagher, Greg Dalziel, Tom MacKenzie
GIRLS – Carmen Griffiths, Lorna McClymont, Anna MacKay, Megan Ashley.
CADDIES are not permitted. However, Karyn and a PL Foundation representative will be on-hand to assist the kids, should they require it.
TV – the kids participating may be filmed from time to time. Please make me aware if this is, in any way, an issue.
FOOD – lunches on the day and dinner at the hotel shall be taken care of by PLF.
