19 year old Laura Murray of Alford Golf club, (BELOW) has been selected, along with Rachael Livingstone of Musselburgh Old, by the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association to represent Scotland in the 2007 Finnish women’s amateur golf championship.

Rachael, beaten finalist in last year’s Scottish Under-18 girls’ championship at Peebles, gains her first full cap for Scotland in next month competing in the European women’s team championship in Italy.

Helsinki Golf Club (HGK) is the oldest and most prestigious golf course in Finland, founded in 1932. Located in the beautiful old park of Tali manor, the club is only 6 km from the center of Helsinki. HGK is also widely known by the name of the old manor.

Tali has hosted more championships than any other club in Finland. For the last two years it has also hosted Ladies European Tour competition.

The empire-style mansion from the 19th century serves as the clubhouse. It has an atmospheric restaurant with a terrace looking down to the 18th green.
