When Clare- Marie was 12 years old, Junior Secretary, Leslie Campbell, who was in charge of the Renfrewshire girls, started her playing in junior matches and also got her involved in the West of Scotland Girls. The West of Scotland Girls' Association encouraged her to play in as many competitions as possible. In 2003, she played in her first Renfrewshire Ladies' County competition - the County Championship at Caldwell Golf Club - and competed in one of the best matches there ever was. She played Donna Jackson in the final and fortunately won at the 23rd hole in horrendous weather conditions. She also won the RLCGA Junior Championship in 2004

She said "It was a great honour to win the County Championship and also to play against one of the best players Renfrewshire has ever produced." Also in that year she achieved her first Scotland under 18 cap in the Home Internationals and then again in 2005. She also won numerous tournaments including the LGU Challenge Bowl and Wallace Williamson Bowl in 2009 at Stirling and the Mackie Bowl at Gullane also in 2009.
Throughout the years she played in the Renfrewshire County team and made friends that she will always keep in contact with. She says "I really enjoyed playing for Renfrewshire as we had great fun and when we play in our matches there was great team spirit and everyone had a wonderful time. Clare - Marie is now currently working full time at Play Sport Golf.
MANY CONGRATULATIONS CLARE- MARIE
