Stephanie Meadow and Carly Booth enter Arizona

Silver Belle tournament next week

Curtis Cup player Carly Booth from Comrie and former Irish girls champion Stephanie Meadow, a resident student at the International Junior Golf Academy, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, are the only two British and Irish entrants for the Arizona Silver Belle junior women's golf tournament next week
Carly, now on holiday from Glenalmond School, Perthshire, was a pupil at Red Mountain High School, Arizona for a spell last winter.
Both girls are 16. Stephanie will be 17 next month while Carly's 17th birthday is next June.
The Arizona Silver Belle Tournament, to be played from December 28 to 30 over the Arizona State University's Karsten course at Tempe, is over three rounds of stroke-play and is open to female amateur competitors from 13 to 23 years.
The entry fee is $250. No caddies or golf carts are permitted in the tournament in which the field is limited to 112. "Golfers must walk and carry their own bags" says the tournament website, which might not mean much in this country but in America, where very few golfers actually walk between shots, such an instruction might not go down well.
