Perth & Kinross players do well at North of Scotland

The qualifying round played at Strathmore Golf Centre on July 5th saw 5 county members qualify for the Scratch Match play stages of the North of Scotland Ladies Golf Championship and 8 members entering the Handicap stages. A grand total of 13 P&K ladies out of the 32 qualifiers is a fantastic feat. Well done to all.

The top P&K Scratch qualifier was our own Vice Captain Janet Griffiths (Comrie) who shot a 75 with a handicap of 8 she scored a fantastic nett 67!!! 5 under the 72 par. Janet qualified 3rd just narrowly missing out on 2nd spot on a better inward half from Ann Hay from Letham Grange. Well done Janet a fantastic score. Jillian Milne (Craigiehill) and Dawn Butchart (Strathmore) both scored 76, Sally Kettlewell (Dunblane) and Jane Yellowlees (Murrayshall) also reached the qualifying stages with 80. A great show from P&K! The top qualifier was Laura Walker (Nairn and Dunbar) equaling the par of 72.

Two P&K players landed the top two seeds in the Handicap qualifier. Young Jacqueline Sneddon (Alyth) with a handicap of 14 shot 2 under par 70 better inward half from Cath Irving (Blairgowrie) handicap 11. Well done to both ladies on such a wet and windy day. Jennie French (Strathmore) Jane Taylor (Strathmore) and Jill Stewart (Alyth) all scored 71. Jan Kennedy (Blairgowrie) 72, Margaret MacNaughton 73 and Norma Fleming 74.

Yesterday saw County Committee members doubling up as greenkeepers trying to keep the greens playable on what was a very wet day. Thankfully the weather did hold long enough to enable play to continue and the days play come to a conclusion.

We will keep you posted as to the results for today.
