Clare Queen

Clare Queen (Drumpellier), current British Girls Matchplay and Strokeplay Champion, explains why she decided on a British University.

"I felt that my main priority was to go to a university which had a good academic record. At the end of 2000 when I was applying to Uni I played off a handicap of 4 and did not think I was good enough to get into one of the top Universities in America. So I decided to go to Strathclyde University, which has a very good Business School. I receive a bursary of £2500 from the R&A and also Lottery Funding, both of which are helping to fund my golf this season.

Although at the time I was disappointed not to be going to the States, I do not regret my decision to stay in Scotland. After a good season last year I am in the SLGA A-squad and I am also 1st reserve for the GB&I squad. I believe that by staying in Scotland, my chances of gaining a place in the Home International team over the next few years are greater than if I was in the States. Ultimately, I would like to gain a place in the GB&I squad in the next few years.

Had I gone to the States I would not have had the opportunity to travel to South Africa with the other members of the GB&I squad, an experience which was fantastic and showed me what I have to do to reach a higher level. I believe that staying in Scotland will help me to achieve both of these goals over the next few years without compromising my education."
