Student trio earn China trip

Three Scottish-based students - Kelsey MacDonald of Stirling University, Jane Turner of Robert Gordon University and St Andrews University's Gemma Bradbury - have been chosen to play golf for Great Britain in the World University Summer Games at Shenzhen, China from 12 to 23 August.

The 72-hole men's and women's golf tournaments will be staged at Mission Hills Golf Club, which is made up of twelve 18-hole courses.

MacDonald, a Nairn Dunbar Golf Club member, is the British universities women's stroke-play champion. Turner is a Craigielaw member and won the British title two years in a row before MacDonald. Bradbury, meanwhile, is a former winner of the Scottish universities women's title and is a Welsh international.

The only downside of a once-in-a-lifetime golfing trip to China for the three girls is that the dates of the tournament - 17 to 20 August - clash with the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship (17 to 19 August) at Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Club, East Sussex.
