WEST KILBRIDE GIRLS OPEN - Results

The West Kilbride girls open competition was completed this week. A good field was attracted to West Kilbride despite the rival attraction of the St Andrews Girls Golf Week. The organisers are confident that the event will build from here.

Worthy scratch winner was Emma Hale (Bentinck Ladies) who edged out Katie McCracken (Powfoot) on the better last six holes. Home favourite Mhairi McKay finished third, three shots adrift. Emma won the Nancy Chisholm trophy. Emma capped a good week having already won the Lehman trophy over Lochgreen on Tuesday.

Top handicap prize was won by the youngest and smallest player, Mirren Fraser of Powfoot. The ten year old compiled a suberb 97 less 30 for a net 67 and a two shot advantage over Beth Donohue from Stirling. Mirren has custody of the Kandy Bar Cup and is one to watch for the future.

In the pre handicap section, played in a "Wee Wonders" Format, home member Lindsay Montgomery took the June Kerr trophy, managing all the way to the 9th green to edge out fellow West Kilbride girl Nicola Turner
