Congratulations go to all the girls for their excellent play and determination in difficult conditions.

Thanks go to Mearns Castle Golf Academy for letting the girls have use of their facilities for training in the winter and to Karyn Burns for her coaching. Also, thanks to Donna Jackson, Allison McGinnigle and Lesley Robertson from the Senior squad and Dorothy Yates, Beth Paterson and Carol Fell for giving up a very wet Sunday to help the girls with short game practice. It's all been worthwhile!
