STONE THE CROWS! A TEN-YEAR-OLD QUALIFIES FOR US WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

FROM THE GOLF.COM WEBSITE
Add the name Latanna Stone to the list of qualifiers for the United States Women's amateur championship, which will be held next month in Cleveland.
Stone won medallist honours after firing a 70 earlier this month at the Wanderers Club in Wellington, Florida.
So, what makes Stone so special?
She's 4-feet-8-inches tall. Also, she's 10 years old.
Ten!
Stone is reportedly the youngest person to qualify for a USGA event, breaking the previous record of 12. The tournament will take place Aug. 6-12 at The Country Club in Cleveland.
Stone has apparently been preparing for her time in the spotlight. She has a big-name coach, Charlotta Sorenstam (Annika's younger sister), and her own website, which states that Stone has won 102 tournaments and drives the ball 180 yards. And yes, Stone also has her own Twitter account.

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com Scotland international Rachael Watton, one of the favourites for the Scottish Under-21 girls golf championship which starts today (Wednesday) at Blairgowrie has been injured in a car crash and has had to pull out of the tournament. Said the Mortonhall player, who has completed her first year at Denver University, during which she won a tournament on the US women's college circuit, said: "I've been involved in a car accident.

GREAT SCOTT! EWAN SETS PACE AT CARDROSS WITH A 67

Scottish youths champion Ewan Scott is on the trail of another national title after an impressive start to the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Scottish U18 boys' open amateur stroke-play championship at Cardross Golf Club. Scott, pictured by Kenny Smith (SGU), turned in the smoothest of performances to return a bogey-free round of four-under-par 67 with birdies at the third, long 13th, 14th and 18th in halves of 34 and 33. That gave him a two-shot overnight lead from Ryan Shuttleworth who came up over the Border from Workington to post a roller-coaster roound of 69. Shuttleworth had more birdies than the leader - five to four - but three times as many bogeys as well! Shuttleworth birdied the second, fourth, 10th, short 15th and 18th but dropped shots at the sixth, eighth and 11th in halves of 35-34.  Four players shared third place on 70 - Greig Marchbank (Dumfries and County), Angus Carrick (Douglas Park), Ewen Ferguson (Bearsden) and, from Italy, Jacobo Guasconi. NEWS RELEASE FROM SCOTTISH GOLF UNION By ED HODGE  St Andrews’ Ewan Scott, the Golf Data Lab Scottish Youths champion, started his bid for a notable double this year with a superb four-under-par 67 in the first round of the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Scottish Boys Stroke Play Championship at Cardross today.  The 17-year-old, who triumphed in the Youths at Ladybank in May, began his pursuit of another prestigious title with a bogey-free round near Dumbarton.  Scott, the SGU National Boys’ Squad player, began his challenge in the 72-hole event with a birdie at the third before adding further birdies at 13, 14 and 18 to open up an early two-shot lead over Ryan Shuttleworth (Workington).Par 71 “I played steady golf and putted better, something I’ve been struggling a little with lately,” said Ewan, who was in the first group out at 7am. “I’m happy with the start.  “Winning this and the Youths would be cool, but it’s not in my mind. We will see where we are in a couple of rounds.” Conditions were still wet at Cardross, but the course had dried out remarkably well, given the recent downpours, for the 144-strong field.  Tucked in behind Shuttleworth are four players on one-under-par, including last year’s SGU Boys’ Order of Merit winner Greig Marchbank (Dumfries and County) and Scottish Golf Academy member Ewen Ferguson (Bearsden). Gallacher, whose Foundation are sponsoring the event for the first time, is unable to be at Cardross this week as he is competing on The European Tour in Austria, seeking to return to the world’s top 100 to qualify for the US PGA Championship. But former Open champion Paul Lawrie, another superb backer of Scottish junior golf, was in attendance today, keeping an eye on son Craig (Deeside), who opened with a 75.  COMPLETE FIRST-ROUND SCOREBOARD 67 Ewan Scott (St Andrews) 69 Ryan Shuttleworth (Workington) 70 Greig Marchbank (Dumfries and Co), Angus Carrick (Douglas Park), Jacobo Guasconi (Italy). 71 Christoher MacLean (Clydebank and Dist), Euan Walker (Kilmarnock Barassie), Jake Scott (Buckpool), Anthony Blaney (Liberton), Adam Fisher (Inchmarlo), Christopher Lamb (Newmachar), Benjamin Kinsley (St Andrews), Ryan Walsh (Kirkcaldy), George Welsh (South Herts). 72 Jamie Savage (Cawder), Blair Gavin (Kilmarnock Barassie), Neil McArthur (Bishopbriggs), Craig Howie (Peebles), Takayuki Matsui (Italy), Richard Broadhurst (Eng), Lawrence Allan (Alva), Callum Harrison (Carluke), Blair Carnegie (Dunblane New). 73 Daniel Flannery (Peebles), Alex Wilson (Renaissance Club), Robert Johnson (Helensburgh), Craig Chalmers (Lenzie), Colin Edgar (Cochrane Castle), Euan Waugh (Whitecraigs). 74 Cameron Farrell (Cardross), Joel Cartlidge (Wheatley), David Pagterson (Leven GS), Alasdair McDouall (Elderslie), Ben Craggs (Glenbervie), David Wilson (Troon Welbeck), Dominic Dougan (Colville Park), Callum McGuigan (Comrie), Aleksi Myllymanu (Finland), Cameron Kirkwood (Bearsden), Dominic Dougan (Colville Park), Robert MacIntyre (Glencruitten). 75 Marc Dingwall (Forres), Cameron Buist (Dunblane New), Jordan Shaw (Kingussie), James Stteven (Bothwell Castle), Craig Lawrie (Deeside), Connor Syme (Dumfries and Co), Christopher Vince (Haverhill), Andrew Loch (Pumpherston), Ewan Farquharson (Auchterarder), Greg Forrester (Lundin), Liro Eskelinen (Finland), Stuart Easton (Irvine). 76 Junglyn Seo (France), Thomas Schofield (Barbados), Cameron Bennie (Balmore), Calum McAndrew (Leven Thistle), Daniel Lane (Kenilworth), Patrick Teppola (Finland), Stephen Wilson (Whinhill), Andrew Carrell (Royal Aberdeen), Fraser Johnston (Longniddry), Conor Wiley (South Moore), Gavin Petrie (Forfar), James Wilson (Balmore), Fraser Lauder (Paisley), Daniel Lane (Kenilworth), Calum Hill (Muckhart), Robert Hughan (Newton Stewart), George Duncan (Windyhill). 77 Niall McMullen (Lochgelly), Connor Chant (Betchworth), James Holt (Wilpshire), Alistair MacVicar (Glencruitten), Euan Bowden (The Glen), Aidan Fortune (Kelso), Marc Nolan (Ireland), Ewen Matthew (Kirkcaldy), Willem Kerr (Craigielaw), Paul Reilly (Lochwinnoch), Ciaran Farrell (Wishaw), Luca Horwitz (Burhill), Callum Cochrane (Marriot Dalmahoy), Alasdair Ross (Fort William), Christopher Kendall (Furness), Stuart Blair (Royal Musselburgh), Rory Stewart (Crieff), Jamie Pryde (Deeside), Sam Kiloh (Portlethen). 78 Kevin Caneva (Ita), Jamie Giddens (Golf House Elie), Craig Anderson (Sandyhills), Jack Thomas (Irvine), Edoardo Lipparelli (Italy), Kevin Prentice (Lanark), Greig Telfer (Prestwick St Cuthbert), Murray Naysmith (Marriot Dalmahoy), Lewis Bain (Musselbrgh), Allan Waugh (Cowglen), Scott Grant (Downfield), Fraser Davren (Williamwood), Alister Balcombe (Clevedon), Gavin Roger (Clober), Henrik Honkalehto (Fin), Scott Simpson (Murrayfield), Ross Brydon (Bruntsfield), Robbie Kemsley (Balmore), Callum Fyfe (Cawder) 79 Blair Dalgleish (Ralston), Ray Gordon (Alford), Christopher Whatham (Grange Park), Andrew Davidson (Charleton), Jack McCluskey (Ayr Belleisle), Jake Hogg (The Duke's), Innes Ferguson (Drumpellier), Alistair Scott (Lanark). 80 John Douglas (Aberdour), Euan Henderson (Kilmarnock Barassie), Andrew Burgess (Nairn), Ross Miller (Whitekirk), Cameron Franssen (Inverness), Steven Young (Auchterarder), Gary Foley (Ralston), Alexander Bagnall (Rugby), Ross Proctor (Forres), Peter Maxwell (Glenbervie), Gordon Cowen (West Lothian). 81 Michael Bodden (Dunbar), Alistair MacLean (Glencruitten), Craig Oram (Nairn Dunbar), Stuart McLaren (Bruntsfield), Louis Murray (Troon Welbeck), Lewis Mutch (Duff House Royal). 82 Blair Murphy (Lanark), Lewis McWiliam (Aboyne), Scott  Murray (Inchmarlo) 83 Adone Agostinihofer (Ita), Alasdair McDougall (St Andrews New) 84 Connar Cook (Caird Park) 86 Fergus Sandison (Blairgowrie), Kerr Baptie (Duff House Royal).

US WINNER RACHAEL WATTON LEADS HOME CHALLENGE AT BLAIRGOWRIE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Colin@scottishgolfview.com
A winner on the United States women's college circuit in her first year at Denver University, Rachael Watton (Mortonhall) is one of the favourites to follow in the footsteps of Kelsey MacDonald as winner of the Scottish Under-21 girls' 54-hole open stroke-play championship at Blairgowrie over the next three days.
Kelsey monopolised the title from 2008 to 2011, winning the championship four years in a row, a great achievement.
The Lansdowne course is such a tough, tree-lined  test - 6,037yd, par 73, standard scratch 75 - that it is almost certain that from the field of 89 players, the winner will come from the 15 who have handicaps of scratch or better.
Rachael Watton, Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm), Hannah McCook (Grantown-on-Spey), Alsa Summers (Carnoustie Ladies), Germany-based Rachael Taylor, Alyson McKechin (Elderslie) and Aberdeen-born Gemma Dryburgh (Beaconsfield) all come into that category.
Two of the lowest handicapped entries are Norwegian-born sisters Camilla and Susana Vik whose family home is in Connecticut, USA.
Susana, the younger sibling, won the Scottish Under-14 girls title two years ago and was runner-up this year.
Camilla has won on the American junior circuit this year and qualified to play in last week's US girls championship.
They both have +2 of a handicap.
The championship is over three rounds, one per day, with no cut.

CURTIS CUP STAR BRONTE ONE OF FAVOURITES FOR ENGLISH GIRLS TITLE

NEWS RELEASE FROM ENGLAND GOLF
Curtis Cup star Bronte Law will be one of the favourites when the English girls’ championship is played next week at Sandiway Golf Club in her home county of Cheshire.
The championship, from Tuesday, 31 July, to Thursday, 2 August, has attracted a full field of 120 competitors. Two companion events, the English U15 and U13 girls' championships will take place simultaneously at nearby Delamere Forest Golf Club and they, too, were over-subscribed.
It means that almost 250 of England’s most talented girl golfers will be heading to Cheshire to show off their stroke play skills as they seek one of three national titles. The competition, in all three championships, is guaranteed to be fierce.
Bronte Law, from Bramhall Golf Club, is enjoying a great season and will carry the local hopes in the English girls’ championship. The 17-year-old helped GB and I win the Curtis Cup at Nairn in June, beating the United States for the first time in 16 years. She was runner-up in the French lady junior championship, contested by the cream of Europe’s U21 golfers, and she’s just won the Northern ladies’ championship.
Another top contender will be Elizabeth Mallett, 17, the 2010 winner from Sutton Coldfield Ladies’. She demonstrated her sizzling form at the European girls’ team championship where she shared the individual honours in qualifying at 11-under par for 36 holes. She has just become the Midlands South regional women’s champion and also won this season’s Whittington Trophy with a course record.
Irish stroke play champion Emily Taylor (Hillside) is another force to be reckoned with. She, too, was one of the low scorers at the European championship and won the U18 event at the St Rule Trophy.
One to watch is Gabriella Cowley of West Essex, who won the U15 title last year, went on to become Scottish U16 open champion and has just finished third in the R and A’s Junior Open, in an international field of over 120 players.

She is one of seven players in the field who will go on to represent England in the Girls’ Home Internationals, from 7-9 August. The others are Elizabeth Mallett, Meghan MacLaren (Wellingborough), Brogan Townend (Pleasington), Amber Ratcliffe (Royal Cromer), Shelby Smart (Knowle) and Olivia Winning (Rotherham).

Meanwhile, Cheshire is providing six competitors in this event. Playing alongside Bronte will be Charlotte Leatham (Styal), the Cheshire girls’ champion; Poppy Finlay (Vicars Cross), who won two U18 titles at the Hacienda del Alamo festival in Spain; Gemma Clews (Delamere Forest), the runner-up in the county ladies’ championship;  Abbie Cowlard (Reddish Vale) and Ella McClintock (Delamere Forest).

The U15 championship includes two local girls: Hannah Li (Tytherington) and Rian Moores (Royal Vale Abbey). Lucy Jamieson (Heswall) will take part in the U13 event.

All competitors in all three championships will play 18 holes on each of the first two days, Tuesday, 31 July, and Wednesday, 1  August. Then, the fields in the English girls’ and the U15 championships will each be cut to the top 36 players and ties who will play 36 holes on Thursday, 2 August.

In the U13 championship, the field will be cut to the top 18 players and ties who will play one final round on Thursday, 2 August. Lyndsey HewisonPress Officer

GARY GLITTERS AS A COACH, SHEENA SHINES AS A TITLE-WINNER

     Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) and her coach, Gary Forbes (Murcar Links)

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Colin@scottishgolfview.com

Sheena Wood has been winning titles, first as a Hazlehead Golf Club member and subsequently as an Aberdeen Ladies member for more than two decades.

You might think, at forty-something, Sheena's star might not be twinkling as brightly as it once was. You would be wrong.

This season has been one of her best - Aberdeen Ladies club champion, Aberdeenshire women's county champion and North of Scotland women's champion.

"I’m certainly enjoying my golf this year!" says Sheena who was capped for Scotland in the women's home internationals of 1999 and 200.

"I would have to give huge credit  to  Aberdeenshire county coach Gary Forbes of Murcar Links. I have really enjoyed working with Gary.  

"His expert coaching, approach to shot-making  and natural enthusiasm  have inspired me to work hard and compete more.

"Gary has given me confidence in my game and I am having a lot of  fun competing against all these youngsters!"

In the Aberdeen Ladies club championship at Balgownie in June, Sheena was leading qualifier with scores of 80 and 76 (CSS 78).

She beat Marion Donald (7 and 6), Emma Connon (7 and 6) before beating Fiona Seedhouse (SLGA president Margaret Macnaughtan’s daughter) 9 and 8 in the final.

"I never dropped a shot and was two under par when the match finished. The Balrownie rough is now very thick so I just was swinging easy to keep out of it!" said Sheena. 

She has now won the Aberdeen Ladies' club title 16 times, the first being in 1991, then  93-95- 96-97-99-2001-02-04-05- 06-07-08-09-11 and now No 16 in 2012.

"Before I joined Aberdeen Ladies I had won 10 in a row at Hazlehead," said Sheena, adding:

"This year was my fifth  Aberdeenshire county championship win (she beat Carol Wilson of Murcar Links by 4 and 3 in the final at Balgownie, having been in the final nine times.  I have won it twice at Cruden Bay (1996 and 2002), Murcar Links (2000), Aboyne (2001) and now Balgownie (2012)."

Sheena's third North of Scotland championship triumph was achieved this year at Blairgowrie where she beat Kimberley Beveridge (Aboyne) 5 and 4, Claire Prouse (Hazlehead) 5 and 4, Jemma Chalmers (Monifieth) 2 holes, then Ann Ramsay (Kirriemuir) at the 19th in the final.

Sheena's first North of Scotland triumph was in 1989 at Balgownie where she beat Magi Vass 4 and 3 in the final.

Twelve years later, in 2001, when the championship was played at Deeside, Sheena beat Lyndsey Devenish (Cruden Bay) 2 and 1 in the final.

Have Fun With Your Golfing Wardrobe

3 Ways To Jazz It Up

Golfing clothes in 2012 is most definitely all about the bling. Bright,vibrant, fluorescent colours that make you stand out from the crowd. This is all well and good, but if you are not into 'swinging with the bling' but at the same time don't want to seem like a dour princess either what can you do to get yourself noticed for all the right reasons on the fairway? Here are three things that you can do jazz up your golfing wardrobe without going OTT.

Add a splash of colour
If you don't quite have the courage to be 'loud and proud' then it doesn't mean that you have to stick to beige and cream. Instead by adding a splash of colour you can really make a statement without going overboard. Put on that tangerine pair of golf shoes, that brightly coloured golf glove or that striking sun visa, for a touch of understated style.

Shelve the Skorts
In the warmer weather most women golfers tend to reach for the skorts. However recently there are some pretty stylish golf dresses on the market which are just as effective and in all honesty, probably more stylish. Military detailing is hot right now and as a result many golf clothing designers are going down this road. Golf dresses are not only practical but will also make you feel good.

Prioritise and accessorize
One of the best ways to spice up your golfing apparel is to accessorize. A great pair of earrings always does the trick. Try to pick ones which don't swing when you do, but at the same time are big enough to make a statement. Also in the winter months when the temperature drops, why not try a piece of colourful headgear. Slouchy cashmere hats are most definitely in and they come in a myriad of vibrant colours from fuchsia pink, to lime green and every shade in between. Accessories like these mentioned above are subtle but very effective.

So there you have it, 3 ways that you can add a little sizzle to your ladies golf sweaters, without costing you the earth. Why not give it a try, you can have fun doing it and it might give you a new found confidence.

LPGA SAY NO TO 16-year-old ARIYA'S QUALIFYING SCHOOL REQUEST

FROM THE GOLFWEEK WEBSITE

By JULIE WILLIAMS

Thailand's globetrotting, golfing sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn spent the past week on opposite sides of America, competing in separate events.

That’s a trend likely to continue as the LPGA recently denied a petition from Ariya, pictured above, 16, to join sister Moriya, 17, at Q-School in the fall.

Players must turn 18 by January 1 to be eligible for the qualifying process, and the younger Jutanugarn, who will be 17 on November 23, will be a year shy. The LPGA declined to comment on the decision, which comes a year after Lexi Thompson, then 16, received a pass.

Thompson won first stage by 10 shots, then won the LPGA Navistar Classic two months later, leading LPGA commissioner Mike Whan to grant her an LPGA card for 2012.

If Moriya, who turns 18 on July 28, earns a card, it could mean a year of separation for the travelling Jutanugarns. Ariya says she still won’t pursue college, and will remain an amateur for now.

The Jutanugarns, from Thailand, won’t appeal the LPGA’s decision.

“I just want to play with Moriya at the same time, make it easier because we go together all the time,” Ariya said after losing in the semi-finals of the U.S. girls’ championship in Daly City, California Moriya, the first girl to win the RandA Junior Open when she was only 13, advanced to the quarter-finals at the North and South Women’s Amateur in Pinehurst, North Carolina

In addition to Thompson, the LPGA also has granted exemptions to 17-year-olds Jessica Korda, Morgan Pressel and Aree Song. Petitions from Yani Tseng and Inbee Park were denied.

Jutanugarn and Thompson have similar amateur resumes. Each won the U.S. girls championship (Thompson in 2008, Jutanugarn in ’11) and held the top spot in Golfweek’s Junior Rankings. Thompson’s best U.S. Women’s Open finish in three starts as an amateur was T-34.

Jutanugarn missed the cut the past two years, her only Open starts, but twice has been the low amateur at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. She was T-12 at this year’s Honda LPGA Thailand, a tournament she first played at age 11.

“I feel sad because . . . they tell me I’m too young,” Jutanugarn said. “I think I have a chance to qualify at Q-School for the LPGA. I just want to try.”

FERN GRIMSHAW SHARES TOP PLACE IN SOMERSET PRO-AM

FROM THE PGA WEBSITE
West Region PGA Assistants' champion Fern Grimshaw (Wessex Golf Centre) continued her most successful season as a professional by sharing top place in the Farrington pro-am in Somerset with late starter Giuseppe Licata (Bristol Golf Centre).
Her first pro-am success was founded on a remarkable spurt over the closing eight holes in which she made five birdies, including three in a row from the 11th and then at the 15th and 16th.
"I hope this win will be the first of many," she said. "I played well and enjoyed the golf course that was in tremendous condition after the terrible recent weather."
It was the 25-year-old newly-qualified professional's fourth win of the summer. She shared first place in the Minchinhampton Ladies event, also won a WPGA tournament at Chestfield before her greatest success in the Assistants' event at Sherborne.
An outright victory in the pro-am sponsored by Natures Flame looked probable until Licata matched the two-under-par 70 in the penultimate group.
The Bristol player held a one-shot lead until he dropped a shot at the 16th and missed a five-foot putt for birdie at the 17th.
John Goymer from nearby Mendip is still cursing himself for not winning. A birdie on the first, an eagle on the par five ninth and another birdie at the 15th took the former Farrington course record holder to four-under-par. But he dropped a shot at the 16th and made a triple bogey at the 17th.
He shared fourth with James Maxwell (Trefloyne) and Joe Ferguson (Celtic Manor) behind third-placed Jon Bevan (Wessex) who shot 71.
Trick shot and long-driving specialist Paul Barrington (Players Club) had never won a pro-am team prize in 24 years as a professional until this year. He broke his duck in the Microsoft Masters Pro-Am at Bowood and has now added a second success.
This time he was helped by home players Terry Stacey, Steve Brixey and Malcolm Clark who all weighed in to score 13-under-par 131.
They beat another home team led by the club's teaching professional Terry Williams with Nigel Denham, Steve Maggs and Somerset county champion Tom Small contributed five birdies.
The team award was won by with Cardiff Golf club assistant Lewis Jones helped another Farrington team of former Somerset county champion Michaela Chivers, Chris Coles and Rob Riccio into third place 132, winning on countback from Ian Ferrie (West Wilts).
