THREE IN A ROW FOR HEATHER STIRLING
SCOTTISH women's amateur golf champion Heather Stirling from Bridge of
Allan added another title to her collection at Braehead Golf Club, near
Alloa yesterday (Sunday) when she won the East of Scotland women's championship
for the third year in a row.
Miss Stirling had a round of 71, two under the CSS, to win by two strokes
from Scottish junior champion Lynn Kenny and Scottish girls' title-holder
Heather MacRae, both members of Dunblane Golf Club. Miss Kenny was officially
placed second by virtue of having the better last six holes.
Stirling & Clackmannan (217) won the team event by the runaway margin
of 19 strokes from Midlothian (236). The winners' line up was Heather
Stirling, Lynn Kenny and Heather MacRae.
The top handicap prize went to Wendy Nicholson (Torphin Hill) with a net
73 off six. Tracy Laughland (Prestonfield) also had a net 73 (off four)
but lost out on the inward half countback.
