Kelsey MacDonald wins SLGA

girls' order of merit

title by big margin

Scottish Under-21 girls champion Kelsey MacDonald has won the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association girls’ order of Merit title for 2008 by just about as big a margin as Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle) won the women’s merit table.
Kelsey lost to Carly Booth in the Scottish Under-18 girls’ match-play championship at Alyth, the week before her great win in the Under-21 stroke-play championship at Powfoot.
She also won the Scottish schoolgirls’ title for the first time at Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory in June.
Kelsey’s family home could hardly be closer to the first tee of the Nairn Dunbar golf course. Her ambition is to play for Great Britain & Ireland in the 2012 Curtis Cup match which will be staged at Nairn Golf Club.

She is a full Scotland international team player and is pictured above, by Cal Carson Golf Agency, in action during this year's women's home internationals at Wrexham.
Kelsey, who turned 18 in early October, is now a student at Stirling University. She has a twin brother.

Rachael Watton (Mortonhall) was runner-up in the SLGA girls' order of merit and third place went to Lesley Atkins (Minto), this year's Scottish Under-14 girls' champion.
