Amateurs: Kilmacolm leads the way for Scots

Kilmacolm Golf Club is claiming a European, and possible world, first as two of its members are among the six Scots who will contest the men's and women's World Amateur Team Championships over the next 10 dayss.

Eilidh Briggs, 19, is one of the three-strong side for the Espirito Santo Trophy, the Women's World Team Championship, being staged in Turkey from today to Sunday, while Matthew Clark, 30, joins two others to contest the Eisenhower Trophy, also in Turkey, from October 4-7. Their involvement means that the 500-member club, tucked away on Renfrewshire moorlands and described as "a miniature Gleneagles", now has three Scotland internationalists, the third, keeping it in the family, being Eilidh's 22-year-old sister Megan, a former Scottish champion.
