ATHOLL HOTEL PUT UP BUMPER PRIZE AT MURCAR LINKS ON MAY 8-9
£25,000 TO FIRST LADY PRO OR AMATEUR WHO GETS
ACE AT FIFTH HOLE IN PAUL LAWRIE LADIES EVENT
A £25,000 prize for a hole in one at Murcar Links' short fifth hole should boost the entries for the second Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Ladies Tartan Tour event on May 8 and 9.
The prize is being sponsored by the Atholl Hotel, Aberdeen.
The R and A changed the Rules of Amateur Status a year or two ago to permit amateurs to accept "special" hole in one awards with a value far in excess of the normal maximum of £500.
The Paul Lawrie Ladies Tartan Tour is open to any female professional and amateurs with single-figure handicaps.
Some North-east amateur girls (perhaps from much farther field!) might enter, feeling that they are unlikely to finish in front of their professional opposition at the end of 36 holes.
But a hole in one is a different ball game entirely. Anyone can have a stroke of luck and why
not at Murcar Links fifth hole on either of the two days.
Earlier this week there were TWO holes in one during the qualifying round of the Renfrewshire women's county championship at Cochrane Castle Golf Club.
The 25 Grand prize will go to the first player to achieve an ace Murcar Links' fifth hole.

Should no-one hit the jackpot, the player whose tee shot finishes nearest the pin will earn a £100 consolation award from the sponsors.
Tournament Director Nicola Melville says that there are spaces left in the field because Trish Johnson, winner of the opening event this week at Fairmont St Andrews, and others, such as Sally Watson and Heather MacRae, from that field will be playing in an LET event that week.
