Junior success at Nairn
Our A Section Juniors, Angus McFall, Erin Holden, Jamie Riordan,
Mikayla MacKay, Rhianna MacKay, Ruaridh Holden took part in the
Junior Open at Nairn, travelling down as a team from Royal Dornoch with
Gary Dingwall and Mark McFall.
The hospitality provided throughout the day from everyone at Nairn Golf
Club, full use of the facilities at the range and in the clubhouse made for
an enjoyable day for them all, as did the wonderful weather!
All Juniors thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of playing the course,
some for the first time, which was found to be playing well and in such
great condition.
Mikayla MacKay leading the U14 Handicap event and U18 Handicap
event with a net 58 (gross 90) 17 under on the day - went on to win the
U18 Best Handicap and the Donald Cup.
Erin Holden in 3rd place in U18 Best Handicap event with a net 64 (gross
103) 11 under on the day.
Well done to all those that entered.
St Andrew’s Junior Ladies
Open
I am delighted to tell you that Royal Dornoch was represented by 3 young
ladies at this under 23 year old open event this week. Taylor White (who
is one of our UHI Students), Hannah Riddell and Zara MacDonald. All
three acquitted themselves very well and I am pleased to report that both
Hannah and Zara qualified for the handicap matchplay. Unfortunately,
both girls lost in their respective semi-finals but have gained a lot of
experience playing in this popular national event.
