EILIDH AND ALYSON DO WELL BUT DISAPPOINTMENT FOR BOTH SCOTTISH TEAMS
Scotland’s women, who were handicapped by the loss of Scottish Champion Louise Kenney, who had been in hospital since the eve of the tournament for surgery to remove food stuck in her throat, finished 13th on 746 in the European women’s team championship at Murhof, Austria. Renfrewshire's Megan Briggs did not have such a good round as yesterday and had a 77.
Again all five individual Scotland scores had to count, instead of the worst being discarded. and they were:
Pamela Pretswell 70, Jane Turner 71, Kelsey MacDonald 71, Megan Briggs 77, Rachael Watton 81.
Scotland’s team total of 370 was an improvement of six shots on Tuesday but their total of 746 was well outside the championship flight maximum of 733 by eighth qualifiers France. Germany led the way with 15-under 705, ahead of Denmark and Spain. Ireland and England qualified fifth and sixth on the same mark, 726.
So disappointment for the Scotland women who won the bronze medals in this championship 12 months ago
In the European Girls Team Championship Scotland finished 14th of 19 with a total of 789, ahead of 16th placed Ireland (791) and 17th placed Wales (819). Renfrewshire's Eilidh Briggs and Alyson McKechin had the best Scottish scores again.
Scotland's second-day scores were:
Eilidh Briggs 76, Alyson McKechin 76, Clara Young 78, Hannah McCook 79, Lauren Whyte 80, Ailsa Summers 82.
Thanks go to Colin Farquharson for the report

MEGAN,EILIDH AND ALYSON ALL DO WELL BUT BOTH SCOTTISH TEAMS ARE STRUGGLING
Scots women have mountain to climb to make top eight in Austria
The Scotland women's team, who gained bronze medals in Spain last year, will be hard pushed to qualify for the top flight of the European women's team championship at Murhof GC in Austria this week.
With Scottish champion Louise Kenney (Pitreavie) listed as a No Return - more likely that she was unable to play for some reason - all five Scots scores counted, which was a pity because Vagliano Trophy player Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) and Mortonhall teenager Rachael Watton both had seven-over-par 79s.
The Scotland counting scores were:
Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle) par 72, Megan Briggs 73, Jane Turner (Craigielaw) 73, Kelsey MacDonald (Nairn Dunbar) 79, Rachael Watton (Mortonhall) 79.
Megan Briggs was going very well indeed when she turned in 34, having birdied the fourth, seventh and eighth, but she took 39 shots for the back nine.
Jane Turner was out in 37 and back in 36.
Kelsey MacDonald had halves of 39 and 40. She had one birdie, one double bogey and six bogeys.
Rachael Watton had halves of 40 and 39.
Pamela Pretswell went out in 35 and back in 37 for her par-matching round, even though she had a double bogey 6 at the third. The G B and A Vagliano Trophy team player birdied the first, sixth, ninth and 14th.
The Scots are lying joint 15th on 376 with Denmark (345) leading the way from Spain (356), Germany (359) and England (363).
Somehow, the Scots have to make up the leeway between them and the team/teams in seventh/eighth place overnight: Sweden and France, both on 367.
Ireland, surprisingly with a very strong team on paper, are back in 12th place on 370.
Wales are 19th of 20.
Spanish champion Camilla Hedberg, who played for the Continent of Europe's winning Vagliano Trophy team at Royal Porthcawl a week or so ago, had the best individual round of five-under-par 67.
Scotland are unlikely to qualify for the top flight of the European girls team championship at Is Molas GC, Sardinia. They are lying 16th in a field of 19 with a first-round, best five from six team total of 400 - 24 shots worse than the team in eighth place overnight, Norway.
Scotland scores were: Elidh Briggs 75, Alyson McKechin 76, Hannah McCook 82, Clara Young 82, Ailsa Summers 85, Lauren Whyte 86 (non-counting).
England's Lauren Taylor, the new British women's champion, had the lowest score of three-under-par 69. She was one of nine players to get under the par of 72.
Finland (361) lead from England (363) and Spain (367). Ireland and Wales, like Scotland, are unlikely to make the top flight of eight. The Irish are lying 15th on 398, the Welsh 17th on 421.

Scottish Senior Championship - Round 1
ALISON BARTLETT LEADS SCOTTISH SENIORS AT HALFWAY
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Royal Dornoch’s Alison Bartlett is the halfway leader in the Scottish senior women’s amateur stroke-play golf championship at Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club, near Stranraer, today.
Alison, one of the farthest travelled players in the field of 77, shot a two-over-par 73 to lead by two shots from Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) and Lanark’s May Hughes.
Bartlett was four over par after bogeys at the fifth, sixth, short seventh and 12th before finishing strongly with a birdie at the par-4 17th and anotther birdie at the par-5 18th for one-under-par 34 for the inward nine holes.
Fenton was four over par after only four holes, with a double bogey 7 at the long third and bogeys at the second and fifth. Birdies at the ninth and long 11th helped her salvage halves of 39 and 36.
Defending champion Heather Anderson is lying joint fourth on 76. The short holes were costly for the Blairgowrie player – double bogeys at the par-3 seventh and 11th and another shot shead at the short 10th in halves of 39 and 37.
The seniors’ stroke-play event is a championship in itself over 36 holes but the 16 players with the lowest aggregates at the end of two rounds will go forward to conest the Scottish senior match-play championship.

RENFREWSHIRE JUNIOR GIRLS WIN LOTS OF PRIZES
Three girls from the County ‘A’ Squad featured in the Prizelist on Sunday at Cochrane Castle’s Open Mixed Foursomes.
Samantha Cowan (Cochrane Castle) and her partner won the top prize in the 1st Class section and narrowly missed winning the coveted Cuninghame Trophy by 1 stroke. Emma Kennedy (Paisley) and her dad also won prizes in their category and Laura Craig (Cochrane Castle) hit a tremendous drive down the 16th hole to win the 2nd Class longest drive prize.
Not to be outdone by the Juniors Maureen Mitchell (Old Ranfurly), Junior Convenor, managed to hit her tee shot at the short 6th hole inside the mark of Megan Briggs to win a prize for nearest the hole.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS
On behalf of the team and the committee, I want to say a big thank you to all those who came to pull trolleys and also to watch and support the Renfrewshire team over the last three days at Barassie! You are a great bunch and you had to put up with horrible rain on Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon. We are only sorry that we did not lift that trophy once more! We were so close, but Ayrshire just pipped us and so they are off to Dumfries in September for the County Finals.
The team played their hearts out and there is no doubt that we were all dissappointed to lose on Tuesday and perhaps that was the reason for a tiny (!) collapse in the foursomes on Wednesday but they came out with all guns firing in the afternoon to win all of the singles very convincingly!
We wish Alex Glennie and her Ayrshire team the best of luck at the Scottish County finals in September at Dumfries and County Golf Club.
AND
We can't wait till next year's Inter County Jamboree at Cardross where we will be fighting to get our hands on that trophy again.!
Thank you everyone and I look forward to seeing you at some of our summer fixtures.
Trish (Captain!)

Your webmaster also apologises for predicting that the WEATHER was going to be fine yesterday afternoon when she went into the METCHEK APP on her phone that said it was not going to rain until 6pm at Barassie --- I think I will just stick to photos as this was totally wrong and the rain poured in the afternoon, the 8th green was practically totally under water and caused a huge hold up in the games.
Well done to Trish, Maureen and the Team on a great performance yesterday afternoon to allow us to be in 2nd position and many congratulations to Ayrshire and their winning team.
Many congratulations also go to Megan who has been awarded an honours law degree by Strathclyde University. She got a 2.1
The graduation is on 8 July but she will not be there and will graduate in absentia . She is in Austria with the Scottish Ladies Team for the European Team Championships.
