Two of Ayrshires brightest young golfing prospects are amongst 64 international students who have been awarded bursaries from the 2006 - 2007 R & A Foundation, the governing body of golf has announced.The list of bursars is headed by the US Amateur Champion, Richard Ramsay from Aberdeen, who is studying at Stirling University.
With an extremely high standard of golfing ability, men needing a handicap of + 1 and women a handicap of 3 or better to qualify, as well as acedemic prowess as requirements, the inclusion of the two Ayrshire players in the list is a notable achievement for both.
Lesley Hendry (Largs Routenburn) - pictured right - is the current Ayrshire Ladies Champion and has represented Scotland at various levels and events in recent seasons. Lesley is presently studying at the University of Paisley.
Cameron Gray (West Kilbride) - pictured right - is a former Ayrshire Boys Champion and has represented Scotland at various levels of Boys' golf, presently being in the Under 18 national team.
Cameron is studying at The University Of St. Andrews.
Many congratulations to both Lesley and Cameron on their success in securing bursary awards and the recognition of their achievements which goes with the award from the Royal & Ancient Golf Club.
