Northern Counties' Girls' Championship 2011

It was disappointing that only four girls took part in the Northern Counties' Gils' Championship at Forres today 18th July 2011.

Despite the poor forecast the weather was fine and ideal for golf.  Congratulations to Annabelle Brown from Nairn Dunbar who was the clear winner with a gross score of 86.  Well done also to Kirsty McBeath from Forres who won the net trophy with a 77.  The CSS for the day was 74 and the competition was reduction only.  Kirsty McBeath reduced her handicap from 36 to 35.

In addition Anne Rose organised a 7-hole competition for the three youngsters from Muir of Ord, which was won by Sophie Fraser.  

All the youngsters received a certificate and a ball marker in recognition of their achievement.

Everyone enjoyed the competition and agreed that they would be entering the McDermott Trophy which will be held at Muir of Ord on Wednesday 10th August at the same time as the County Open.  Hopefully a few more girls will take part in this competition.

Many thanks to Anne Rose for all her hard work.
