(Uninformed) comments from Colin Farquharson:

The SLGA do not issue notes alongwith their team selections so we have to presume certain things, such as the Scots at universities in America, i.e. Roseanne Niven and Krystle Caithness are not being released by their colleges for the Women's Home Internationals, which don't mean much in the States, but they (the US universities) do recognise the worldwide prestige and importance of the Espirito Santo Trophy, so that all US-based students who are good enough to be selected are released to play for their home countries in that tournament in Australia.
Carly Booth is not in the Scotland team for the WHI because that week she - and Ireland's Maguire twins plus Kelly Tidy (England) - will be playing for Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup match in Kentucky.
There are two changes in the Scotland team for Wrexham compared with last year's WHI at Dunbar. Jenna Wilson has since turned professional and Carly Booth, as stated, is unavailable. Their places are filled by Kylie Walker, who has had such a great season, and Curtis Cup player Sally Watson who has not played competitively since she had a knee operation on Wednesday, June 4, immediately after the match against the United States over the Old Course, St Andrews.
