BOYS TAKE HONOURS AGAINST CURTIS CUP SQUAD - 20th Feb 2004
The Scottish Boys Elite squad ran out winners against the Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup squad in a practice match, at the Quinta da Cima Golf Resort in Portugal.
The game provided the boys with vital competitive preparation ahead of next month’s Boys Quadrangular in France.
Facing top players including Scots Lynn Kenny (University of Stirling), Anne Laing (Vale of Leven) and Claire Queen (Drumpellier), the group of five boys performed well to secure a 5 – 2 victory.
Scottish Men’s Internationalist Neil MacRae (Cawder) and Boys Team Captain Wilson Bryson, joined the boys in the team to face the ladies’ squad, who were continuing their own preparation for the Curtis Cup match against USA on 12 – 13 June at Formby Golf Club.
Bryson lost the ‘boys’ first point against Anna Highgate of Cottrell Park, succumbing to a 1-hole deficit. Scott Borrowman (Dollar) lost his match by the same margin.
With one boy playing singles against a foursomes ladies’ pairing, 17-year-old Garry Wood of Crow Wood comprehensively defeated Claire Queen and Danielle Masters (Rochester & Cobhan) 7 and 6.
Further wins by David Addison (Kilmarnock Barassie), Euan Polson (Brora), Scott Henry (Cardross) and senior member Neil MacRae, completed the boys 5 – 2 win.
Scottish National Coach Ian Rae accompanied the group on the Player Development Camp. Reflecting on their performance, he said: “The squad worked very hard on their game, and I think that paid off in the match. They improved throughout the week in Portugal, and really got to grips with the conditions and the difficult course.
“Their form is very encouraging ahead of the Boys Quadrangular match in a couple of weeks time. Traditionally, we haven’t performed well in that, but I am optimistic that we will do better this year.
“It is the first time the SGU have brought the boys squad away, and I think they have responded very well. I’m sure the intensive coaching they have had this week will pay off this season.”
