Newcomer, 15 yr old Carinne Taylor (18) from Elgin played exceptionally well in her first County Championships. She beat Marion Kessack (30) in the semi final 6/5 and then went on to beat Ella Simpson (15) also from Elgin in the final 4/3. Cara beat Jenny 5/4 and Hannah beat Eleanor 7/5 in the scratch semi finals. Cara and Hannah were all square at the 17th. They both had fantastic drives on the par 5 18th leaving them just one shot to reach the green. Cara went first and landed left off the green. Hannah followed suit but landed in a grassy bunker also left of the green. Cara putted up and Hannah managed to get a half decent shot onto the green from a difficult lie. They were both now on 3 each. Hannah went first and left her ball very close to the hole. Cara then had to putt to win the hole, but missed and they ended up with a half. Off to the 1st again and once more the pair halved the hole. At the 2nd they both drove well then Hannah landed her 2nd ball on the green, Cara's slightly short. Cara had a long putt up and was within 3 feet of the hole, Hannah putted for a birdie but left the ball sat just passed the lip. Cara needed to sink a 3 foot putt for a half but unfortunatley she missed and Hannah claimed victory with a par. This is the first time Hannah has won the County Champs.
