Majorca-based young Scottish professional golfer Lauren Mackin needs hospitality help for the four Paul Lawrie Scottish Ladies Open Tour events at Downfield GC (Dundee) on July 2, Carnoustie Burnside (July 3), Blairgowrie Rosemount (July 11) and Alyth GC (July 12).

She can afford the air fare from Majorca to Scotland but the cost of staying at a hotel for a fortnight is beyond her means at the moment.

Lauren is not looking to stay with one family for the duration of her trip. She would not mind if she had to move from one location to another two or three times as long as she was within easy travelling distance of the next event she is playing in.

If you can help or know somebody who can help  Lauren, E-mail me at Colin@scottishgolfview.com and I will put you in touch with her.

Lauren, who plays out of the Son Gual Golf Club in Majorca, played in the Suncoast Series ladies' mini-tour in Florida earlier this year and Paul O'Hara, younger brother tour pro Steven, went as her caddie.
Lauren has played in only three tournaments, including the LET Tour School since the end of last year.

This has been due to her completing her exams to be a Personal Fitness Trainer .  
The exam took place in Barcelona at the end of a three-year course.
She gained pass marks. Lauren has also completed a German language speaking course and, having been brought up in Majorca, she is fluent also in Spanish.
While she was in Florida, Lauren met and had her picture taken with Arnold Palmer at his Bay Hill Club.
She relates: 

"Paul O'Hara and I went to Bay Hill to practise. I was on the range and Arnold was sitting in his buggy. He watched me for fully 30 minutes.
"Then he gave me a couple of simple pointers and introduced me to his dentist who jokingly had a look at my teeth and gave me the thumbs up!
"Without hitting a single ball on the range, Arnied then went over to the first tee and nailed a lovely three-wood Arnie-style up the middle ... gave me a wave and was off! 
"Just fantastic to meet him. What a man! Couldn't wait to E-mail my Dad as I knew he'd be jealous as he's an Arnie fan."
