Six girls aged 7 to 18 attended the P&K County girls coaching at Gleneagles today. An hour of coaching with the PGA professional in the training bays was followed by a fun team competition on the Wee Course. Well done to all girls, parents and supporters who attended and to Gleneagles for the professional coaching and use of the Wee Course.
Watch this space for the next dates.
The 2024 Perth & Kinross Ladies' County Golf Association AGM was held yesterday at North Inch Bowling Club, Perth and was well attended by ladies and juniors.
Our County President, Lenore Kyle, chaired the meeting during which we had a minute's silence for Remembrance Day and also to remember the lady members who had sadly passed away in the last year.
There were a few changes to the Committee:
Leaving Committee:
Retiring this year was Treasurer, Kathleen Duncan (Pitlochry). After a 4 year stint, Kathleen deserves a well earned retirement.
Joining Committee:
We are delighted to welcome 3 ladies to the Committee, Emily Ogilvy (Dunbracken), Laurie Brown (Dunbracken and Isla Moncrieff (Aberfeldy).
We are doubly delighted to announce that Liz Milligan (Dunblane) has volunteered to fill the Vice Captain's role. This happened after the meeting had long finished so Liz has been co-opted onto the Committee.
Other changes:
Committee Member, Catherine Peebles (Alyth) agreed to take over the Treasurer's position.
Prize-winners:
The full list of the ladies' and junior prize-winners:
