Northern Counties Junior Girls Championship

On a very warm day at Moray New Golf Club course, the junior girls played their Championship. Eilidh Mackay of Nairn Dunbar posted a gross 80 to win for the first time. Eilidh has battled with a sports injury, but has obviously overcome it. In the handicap section, Chloe Macleod, also of Nairn Dunbar, did the double playing off 12 had a 75 nett to win, not only this trophy, but also the senior handicap trophy at Forres in May of this year. Nadia Green, Nairn Golf Club, off 10, was the runner up on a better inward half with a 78 nett.
Well done to all the girls who took part. We know you have all been working hard over the summer months to cut your handicaps and at the same time have a bit of fun. We would also like to thank Moray Golf Club for their continuing support of Northern Counties Ladies Golf by granting us courtesy of the courses. It is most appreciated.
We hear that Julie Vass posted a 71 at Tain in the Ladies Open, but her young clubmate Hannah Mackay posted a 68 nett. Hannah won the bronze medal earlier this year at Crieff, and as a cousin of Lindsay Anderson must have the genes to do well, if her bagpiping does not interfere, so also, well done to them.
