KIrsten and Megan contested the Junior handicap final today and what a great match it was. Giving away 16 shots is a tall order and Megan found herself 3 down after 5 holes and managed to win the 6th where she didn't have to give a shot, pars on 7,8 & 9 were only good enough for halves so Kirsten was 2 up at the turn. Megan won 10, and parred the next 3 holes for halves then with a superb 5 iron from 180 yds on 14 which led to a birdie the match was squared. Kirsten stayed focused throughout and edged ahead again on 15 and holed a 15ft putt on 16 for what turned out to be a half as Megan's putt slipped agonisingly past the hole. Kirsten then hit a tremendous 5 iron onto the edge of the green pin high and when Megan failed to get up and down she won the match 2&1. As Convenor I was so proud of not only the way both girls played today but the way they conducted themselves on the course. They chatted, laughed had fun and sportingly acknowledged each other's good shots and conceded putts where appropriate.
The good news just keeps on coming. Alex qualified for the P&K Gents match play at Crieff next weekend qualifying at Kinross today and Amy's handicap is down to 6 after yesterday's round !!
