FROM A LOW TO A HIGH IN
JUST OVER A YEAR, THAT'S
BEEN THE POST US-RISE OF
MICHELE THOMSON

Michele Thomson, one of the four Scots selected to play for GB&I in the Curtis Cup match over the Old Course, St Andrews at the end of June, has been talking about she feels about the biggest honour of her golfing career so far:
"I came home to Ellon in late 2007 from and American University (Jacksonville State) because I was pretty low with my golf and convinced it was not where I wanted it to be at that tiime.
"So with the support of my family, Neil Marr my coach, PGA professional Ross Cameron, physio Karen Young and the Sports Institute of Scotland we started to analyse what was going wrong and trying to get back to where I wanted to be.
"This resulted in some good performances and the opportunities to play with Heather McRae and Jenna Wilson on a more regular basis and they were great in helping me move from one level to the next and I really enjoyed last year's success.
"This year, following my inclusion in the LGU Elite Squad I played in two events in the USA and two more in Portugal and Spain, both of which I feel I did well in.
"While getting into the Curtis Cup team at the Home of Golf was only a dream 12 months ago, I now consider it an honour to be selected and I would like to dedicate the selection to all those who have been so supportive over the past 12-14 months.
"I know the team will be giving it 110% to make our clubs, colleagues, friends and families very proud of us.
"While I am extremely happy my thoughts at this time are also for poor Tony Moffat who passed away last week when I was in Spain. We will miss her on the circuit but I know she will be still there watching over us in St Andrews come the end of May. She will be sadly missed by all the Ladies and Girls."
