Tain to host 2012 Scottish

women's championship

Tain Golf Club is to host the Scottish women's amateur golf championship in 2012.
This will not be the first SLGA tournament to be played at the Ross-shire venue which is 35 miles north of Inverness and eight miles south of Dornoch.
In 2005, the Scottish Under-18 girls championship was held at Tain with Sally Watson beating Carly Booth by 2 and 1 in the final.
Tain, originally designed by Old Tom Morris, is a links course (image from the Tain Golf Club website).
Magi Vass, of the Tain Golf Club secretariat and herself a former Scottish junior international, is hoping that the news will boost entries for the club's women's four-day open tournament (August 2 to 5) this year and next.
"Not all that many people in the south will have played Tain and our annual tournament provides a great chance for them to get to know it under competitive conditions."
