Tour School at La Manga next month

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Perthshire schoolgirl Carly Booth, 17, is one of four Scots entered for Stage 1 of the Ladies European Tour Qualifying School at La Manga, Spain from December 14 to 16.
Glenalmond School pupil Carly from Comrie, at 15, was the youngest player ever to represent Great Britain & Ireland in the Curtis Cup when she played against the Americans over the Old Course, St Andrews at the end of May, 2008. She is a member of the preliminary squad for next June's match at Essex County Club, Massachusetts.
Carly Booth's older brother, Wallace Booth, who turned pro after this year's Walker Cup match, failed to get past Stage 2 of the European Tour Qualifying School earlier this month.
Apart from Carly, the other Scots girls seeking playing rights for the 2010 LET season are Katy McNicoll (Carnoustie) and Glasgow's Gemma Webster, both professionals, and amateur Kylie Walker (Buchanan Castle), runner-up in this year's European women's amateur championship. Kylie is also a 2010 Curtis Cup squad member.
Galway-born Alison Walshe, who played for the United States in the 2008 Curtis Cup match, is also among the entries.
The leading 50 players and ties after Stage 1's three-round eliminator will go forward to join exempt players, such as Scots Pamela Feggans and Clare Queen if they do not get into the leading 89 in the money table after the final event of the season, the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, at the Final Qualifying School, also at La Manga, over four rounds from December 18 to 21.
