a match on the Centenary Course at Gleneagles playing with Ryder Cup Captains
Paul McGinley and Tom Watson. Eight girls and eight boys from all over Scotland
played two holes each and Molly was in Captain Watson’s team which was narrowly
defeated by Paul McGinley’s team in front of a huge crowd and television crews
and photographers , not to mention Ryder Cup Ambassadors Jodie Kidd, James
Nesbit, Ruud Gullit , Alan Hansen and JLS’s Marvin Humes. Molly was also
interviewed by Dougie Donnelly and listed Lanarkshire’s win of the Kennedy
Salver as the highlight of her golfing year so far. At the par three tenth hole
the girls played in Paul McGinley's team and the boys with Tom Watson in a
competition to see who could hit the ball closer to the pin than their
respective captains. Molly was one of four girls to beat Paul McGinley winning
herself four tickets for the Thursday Practice Day and Opening Ceremony.
