Jessica Sievwright who has been attending P&K girls coaching during the winter and practicing joined us on the course today and what potential. She hit 4 shots to the side of the first green but unfortunately 3 putted. She then hit a huge drive down the second and followed it up with a decent second shot, her chip onto the green was followed by 4 putts and Dawn and I both thought oh no, what a shame, such a good long game but no short game. But oh how she proved us wrong. She had a 5 on three and a great up and down from the bunker on the fifth. A par on six. Unbelievably she was neatly pin high on nine in 2 which is a par 5. She chipped to five foot and just missed her birdie putt. Out in 53 was acceptable but then everything changed. A back nine of 45 was a joy to watch and could have been better. A five on 10 should have been a four with a short putt missed. A six on 12 was excellent, but that was surpassed by a fantastic birdie on 14, her first on Rannaleroch. She followed that up with a great par on 15 where she blocked her tee shot behind the trees but played the sensible shot short of the green and got up and down. Her putting stats were superb. A poor start was followed by by some great putting resulting in a front nine of 21 putts but that was surpassed by an amazing 16 on the back nine. Most people would settle for 37 putts a round but someone playing off a handicap of 27.9 should be so proud of this achievement. With 41 points she won today from Keegan who followed up his success of last week with 38 points. Archie Pattullo was disappointed with his back nine after shooting 37 on the front nine, and so proud of Cammy Galloway who called a penalty shot on himself when incorrectly marking a ball.
Conan Reid finished 2nd in the Gents White handicap Medal.
At the Helen Holm past juniors Katy Alexander and Megan Ashley are tied 13th and 18th respectively.
