2015 and 2016 Border Ladies Champion Tara Mactaggart has been playing at the Scottish Ladies this week at West Kilbride Golf Club.
With 2 solid rounds under par, she finished 4th qualifier for the matchplay event.
On Thursday morning, Stirling student and Minto member Tara beat Samantha Leslie (Kemnay) 2 &1 in the first round, she then played defending champion Clara Young (North Berwick)in the afternoon winning at the 19th hole in a very close match,
On Friday she won her morning quarter-final match against Susan Wood (Drumpellier) 4&3 to set up a semi final in the afternoon against past champion Gabrielle MacDonald (Craigielaw). Tara's run in the competition this year came to an end when she was eventually beaten 2&1 in another close game,

Well done Tara
