UNDER STARTER'S ORDERS IN THE RED CITY FOR A CAREER-SHAPING 90-hole TOURNAMENT

The Ladies European Tour School Final stage tees off at the Al Maaden and Amelkis courses in Morocco's Red City - Marrakech - tomorrow.
It gets the "Red City" tag because of the predominant colour of the building material used in its construction.
Around about 30 lady golfers will be ready to paint the town red again come Monday night when the 90-hole tournament that will decide who earns the right to play on next year's Ladies European Tour comes to a conclusion.
Curtis Cup heroines Holly Clyburn, Kelly Tidy, Amy Boulden and Charley Hull will be all out to take the next step up the golfing ladder. Boulden and Hull are still amateurs but will obviously turn pro if they win their LET players' cards.
Scots in the melting pot are former national champion Kelsey MacDonald, Pamela Feggans, Katy McNicoll and Vicki Laing.
Scottish Curtis Cup star Pamela Pretswell has leapfrogged over the Q School straight on to the LET by topping the LETAS Order of Merit on which McNicoll finished fourth.
Kelsey, who is still an amateur, sent the following message to Kirkwoodgolf.co.uk today:
"I was very happy with my golf last week and know I will  have to produce the same performance again this week.
"I have been working hard with my golf and studies and with the help and support  from Stirling University I was able to head out to Abu Dhabi/Dubai for some very productive practice with great weather and super facilities."
