SUPERMAC DOES IT AGAIN!

 

KELSEY (15) CLAIMS A THIRD NORTH

GOLF COURSE RECORD TO GO TO +1

 

Nairn schoolgirl Kelsey MacDonald, 15, has brought her golf handicap down to +1  by breaking a third course record over the past few weeks.

Her latest achievement was to return a 65 – eight under par and five under the CSS – in winnng the Highland schoolgirls championship at Kingussie

Golf Club.

Kelsey slashed five shots off the previous women’s record for the 5,091yd women’s course, which had stood at 70 since 1994.

Miss MacDonald had 10 birdies and two bogeys on her scorecard which read:

OUT: 3 4 4  5 5 3  4 3 4 – 35

   IN:  2 4 3  5 4 3  3 3 3 -  30

 

She birdied the first, second, sixth, ninth, 10^th, 12^th, 14^th and a glorious finish of birdies at the 16^th, 17^th and 18^th.

She had bogeys at the fifth and seventh.

Nairn Dunbar clubmate and Inverness Royal Academy pupil Eilidh Mackay was second to Kelsey in the Highland schoolgirls championship with an 86.

Eight under par seems to be Kelsey’s favourite figure as she has started to rewrite the record books of North of Scotland golf clubs. First she retained the Northern Counties women’s championship at Forres, lowering the record there to eight-under-par 64.

Then, over her home course at Nairn Dunbar, she brought the record down to 67, again eight under par.

Now Miss MacDonald has achieved a brilliant hat-trick of eight-under-par records.
