This event again took place at Whitecraigs Golf Club and 38 girls took part this year, which was down on previous years for some reason. The weather was reasonable kind-just a few heavy showers then a brisk wind!
17 played in the Campbell Clock with Jennifer McLeod of East Renfrewshire winning with 37 points. Heather Conejo of Williamwood was 2^nd with 36 points and the Briggs Girls 3^rd equal with 34 points.
8 played in the 10 hole competition with Hannah King of Williamwood winning with 16 points and Linsey Stevenson of Whitecraigs coming 2^nd with 15 points.

13 played in the Par 3 strokeplay competition with Laura Wilson of Cowglen winning with a score of 33 and Eilidh Foster, also Cowglen coming 2^nd scoring 34.Their putting competition was won by Ailsa Thomson of Portpatrick with 41 putts.
We had some novelty competitions as well so hopefully most of the girls went home with a prize.
Thank you to all who helped on the day -walkers, scorers etc – but a very special thank you to Beth and Christeen who ran the after as I was playing elsewhere.
