It was great to see so many of our up and coming Junior girls enjoying the Ladies golf at Dundonald last week. One big Min Jee Lee fan was delighted to receive her cap after she finished her round on Sunday! Here she is proudly wearing her gift. Stefi has been a follower of Min Jee since she met her at Dundonald last year and followed her every round this year.

Other than a short, unexpected, shower the weather was ideal for the 56 ladies who took part in our Coronation Medals competition at Seafield today. The course was shortened due to some work being carried out by South Ayrshire Council and it was therefore a non counter. However, there were still some great scores recorded. Silver 1st Gillian Pollock (Skelmorlie) 77 - 10 = 67 2nd Sheila Adams (Loudoun) 82 - 14 = 68 Bronze 1st Angela Hughes (Irvine) 86 - 21 = 65 2nd Annette Toal (Loudoun) 88 - 22 = 66 Scratch 1st Roz Purdom (St Nicholas) 80 2nd Norma Gray (St Nicholas) 81 bih Full list of scores can be found on HowdidIdo
