RAIN IN BELGIUM WIPES OUT PRACTICE ROUND FOR EILIDH AND ALYSON

Hailstones in Brussels  --  No Golf Play

Five top young Scots golfers were deprived of a practice round today before the scheduled start tomorrow of the Belgian junior international tournament at Royal Golf Club Belgique near Brussels.
Scottish boys champion David Wilson (Troon Welbeck), Jamie Savage (Cawder), Scottish girls champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), Rebecca McGeehan (Hummelbachaue) and Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) were left with nothing to do all day as heavy overnight rain flooded the course and led to its closure.

Shortly after their annoucement of this morning another storm reached the course. In 20 minutes the course was totally washed out and more than 40 trees fell down. They then had 30 people from the maintenance team work to remove fallen trees and branches to get the course ready for tomorrow which was an impossible mission.

Therefore they then had to announce that the FIRST ROUND will be CANCELLED. If no other case of major force is met, they hope to be able to play on Thursday.
The 72-hole stroke-play tournament (probably now 54 holes) has individual boys and girls' sections and a mixed team trophy.
