HANNAH MCCOOK DOES IT AGAIN

On her way home from the Girls' Home Internationals in Northern Ireland the week before last, Hannah McCook from Abernethy Golf Club played in the North of Scotland Girls' Championship at Brechin on Sunday 15th August winning the North of Scotland Girls' title for the second year in a row.

Hannah made hay while the sun shone over the Brechin course with a two-over-par round of 74 to win the title by one shot from Rachel Polson (Peterculter) and Kimberley Beveridge (Aboyne) with another member of  the Scotland girls’ team, Ailsa Summers (Carnoustie Ladies) in fourth place. 

 

The field of more than 30 players was the biggest the championship has attracted for a number of years. In the final analysis it was Hannah’s figures over the last six holes that retained the title to add to the Northern Counties' Girls’ Championship which she won earlier this season when she was also runner-up in the Paul Lawrie Scottish Schoolgirls' Championship.

 

Hannah covered holes 13 to 18 in one under par with a birdie 4 at the 16^th .for an inward half of 36. Rachel Polson was one over par for the same stretch, having an eagle 3 at the 14^th but bogeys at the 15^th, 16^th and 17^th in 38 home. 

Congratulations from everyone in Northern Counties.
