The 2026 County ladies squad had their first winter practice yesterday (Sunday). They made the trip to St Andrews to enjoy some winter golf and team bonding. They were lucky with the weather as the sun was shining and blue sky was out all day. A little windy but that didn’t put them off! A good day was had by all with a little friendly competition to dust off the winter cobwebs.
Winter is the perfect time to work on your golf game before the season starts and it was a busy weekend again for the girls of P&KLCGA.
Yesterday at Alyth, 7 girls enjoyed the sunshine with a coaching session run by Mike Rae, Alyth Professional, who put the girls and the County lady helpers and parents through their paces before going out on the Wee Course for some fun games.
Today at Gleneagles, where the weather returned to business as usual (snow and fog), 5 girls enjoyed 1.5hrs of coaching at the Golf Academy with Andrew from the Professional Team working on their swing and distance control on the Top Tracer.
Well done to all the girls and thank you to all the Lady Committee Members who helped at the weekend.

We're pleased to announce the Perth & Kinross Ladies' County Senior Squad for 2026.
The squad will be getting together for some practice rounds and matches over the next few months in preparation for the Jamboree in June at Nairn Dunbar.
Two of our Junior Girls have been awarded Gleneagles Scholarships for this year.
Six of our promising junior girl members attended coaching at the Gleneagles Academy today. The session held in the top tracer bays at the range was led by Josh Dunbar from the Gleneagles Professionals team. Josh helped the girls identify the areas of their golf game they should work on before the session.
Unfortunately, as a result of the weather conditions (fog and saturated ground), the girls were unable to spend the second half of the lesson on the Wee Course but instead continued for the full 1.5 hrs at the driving range. It was noted the fog was so thick only the first range marker was visible so they may have been driving the ball 450 yards but it was impossible to tell!
Thank you to the County Committee ladies who came along on the day to support the girls and to Gleneagles for a great session.
Next session for Group 1(HC) at Gleneagles is on Sunday 15th February 2026 10.30-12.00
Next session for Group 2 (no or high HC) at Alyth is on Sunday 25th January 2026 at 10.00-11.00
