ELECTRONIC SCOREBOARDS AT "BRITISH"

For the first time in living memory there is no traditional scoreboard for spectators and players beside the clubhouse at this week's Ladies' British open amateur golf championship at Alwoodley Golf Club, Leeds.
Instead, the LGU has gone electrionic. Two TV-style screens, one 42 inch and the other 32inch, set up at the clubhouse are displaying scores and other information, fed in from the LGU tournament office.
"It would be wrong to say that we will never have the big scoreboard again, the one where we have to physically put numbers up opposite the players' names, but we are experimenting with electronic technology," said Fraser Munro, the LGU championships manager.
"We do have an old-style leaderboard out at the 10th here at Alwoodley."
