RACHEL POLSON FROM PETERCULTER WINS JANICE MOODIE TROPHY
REPORT BY CAROL WHYTE
A total of 39 players played in the Janice Moodie Trophy at Windyhill Golf Club today. The course was in fantastic condition considering the recent wet weather. The green staff are to be congratulated as they have done an amazing job on the course and had the greens running at 11 on the stimp metre, making it very challenging day for the girls.
The girls also faced some tough pin positions, given that the semi-finals of the men's club championship were being played later in the evening.
The competition was a outstanding advert for Scottish girls golf with a field including Scottish girls internationals as well as some of the promising younger players . The ages ranged from 11 - 21 and the handicaps from +1 to 29.
The ladies who had kindly volunteered to ball spot today were very impressed with the quality of the golf that they saw. A mention also has to go to one of our youngest competitiors, Charlotte Munro aged 11, who managed to win her age category despite having rushed from finishing school in Gullane earlier in the day.
Rachel Polson, pictured above, made the trip down to Glasgow from Aberdeenshire well worthwhile. The Peterculter player was the overall winner with a gross 73 for a net 67.
Last year's Scottish girls champion Lesley Atkins (Gullane) equalled the score of 73 to win the the scratch prize. Both are to be congratulated on their scores.
Once again the girls were well look after thanks to Janice's generosity and enjoyed drinks and lunch courtesy of Janice after the competition.
Lastly thanks must go to everyone involved in organising the day and also to Janice Moodie for her continuing support of this popular event.
