Sammy Vass is Tops

What a pleasure it was to receive the following note from Ken Condon via Colin Farquharson.

"I went over for Radfords home tourney but it was cancelled due to snow!!  A hastily arranged friendly was organised for the following day at Gardner-Webb, and as it turned out, Kirsty was paired with Sammy Vass.  We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome, and Sammy's attitude, personality and demeanor on the course was apleasure!  She is a credit toher family, her University and her Country, so if you could pass this on I would be most grateful."

KELSEY TAKES BRITISH STUDENT'S TITLE

Congratulatons to Kelsey MacDonald who has just added another title to her collection.  

At West Lancashire Golf Club last week Kelsey won the British Universities' Women's stroke play title beating Jane Turner from Craigielaw Golf Course and Robert Gorden University, Aberdeen by a magnificent margin of 17 shots.  

Well done.

GOOD LUCK AT THE HELEN HOLM

I am sure everyone would like to join me in wishing Kelsey, Cara and Hannah the best of luck when they play in the Helen Holm next week-end at Troon. 

DO YOUR BEST - PLAY WELL AND MOST OF ALL ENJOY THE GOLF.

As we will be at Fortrose & Rosemarkie for the County Championships we will be keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will be fine for both competitions.

SAMMY VASS HELPS GARDNER-WEBB FINISH RUNNERS-UP

Well done to Sammy Vass who has found her feet as a sophomore transfer student at Gardner-Webb University, North Carolina in the 2010-2011 US college golf season ... capping her campaign by playing a big part in her college finishing second in the Big South Women's Conference Championship at The Patriot Golf Club, Ninety-six (yes, that's the name of the South Carolina town/city!) this past week.

Sammy's tied 10th place finish was just about her best performance over two years in the States, the first of which was spent as a fringe-team player at the University of Central Florida.

She had rounds of 81, 76 and 77 for a total of 234, finishing ahead of Radford University's pair of British students, Hannah Coles (15th on 238 with scores of 79-80-79) and fellow Scot Kristy Condon (27th on 245 with scores of 82-82-81).

Sammy and the rest of the Gardner-Webb University team were put under real pressure in the championship when one of their players went down with an illness at the end of the first day. 

Normally, a team counts only the best four scores from their five players. If you have only four players - as Gardner-Webb did for the last two rounds - then all of their scores count. Absolutely no margin for error.

Coastal Carolina won the Big South Women's Championship with a total of 912. Gardner-Webb were runners-up with 930 - a great performance by a comparatively small university.
