County Team member Alexandra Bushby was our winner in what proved to be a very close finish! Alex returned a very impressing 78 which was only one shot clear of Jackie Brown and Laura Walker in second and third place respectively with 79. Gwen Lambie also returned a 78 but Alex took the title by virtue of the last 6 holes. A very exciting and close run competition for all!!
The CSS on the day was 74 reduction only.
A huge thank you must go to Gleneagles who kindly grant Courtesy to the county to host this event. The course was stunning as always.
Below are photo's of our champions plus 5 guest who were invited to come along as a thank you for all their help at the Scottish Finals last weekend.

COMMONWEALTH SPOONS RESULS
What a beautiful day and a superb golf course we enjoyed today at Torwoodlee. Apart from the golf the other most important aspect of the day is of course the catering and wow we were in for treat!!! With the most fantastic home baking it truly was fantastic.
The golf wasn't too shabby either with Janet Griffiths and Dawn Butchart top P&K scorers with net 75 only one shot of the winners. Unfortunately they were pipped for a prize with three 74's and two 74.5's this placed our players in 6th position just outside the prize-winners. Dawn and Janet also finished 3rd Scratch.
The full results were as follows:

Tomorrow Torwoodlee Golf Club will stage the Commonwealth Spoons and four couples from P&K will be making their way to take part.
The first qualifiers Carol Lambie and Lenore Kyle play at 10:48, they are followed at 11.12 by Ann McGregor and Joan Miller, Dawn Butchart and Janet Griffiths are next at 12.24 followed by last but not least Moira Middleton and Frances Anderson at 12.32. Gillian Wallace and Esther Martin who qualified in 2nd position are unable to attend as Esther's son is getting married on Friday so we send our very best wishes to Esther for a lovely day.

WELL DONE P&K
I am so very proud of all the girls who took part this weekend at Inchmarlo at the Scottish County Finals. All eight girls contributed to a fantastic weekend. Unfortunately we did not lift the trophy but we did ourselves and our county proud.
We got off to a bad start on Friday when we lost our match against Renfrewshire 7-2 but we came out ready for action on Saturday and won the match against borders 8-1. But after a gallant effort on Sunday against Fife we went lost a very close match 5-4. All girls were great but our top scorer this weekend was Annabel Niven who gained 4.5 points out of the 5 games she played.

A huge thank you must also got to eight very loyal caddies and supporters who stayed all weekend. They were Janet Griffiths, Sal Shepherd, Carol Lambie, Pat Colquhoun, Emma Napper, Gwen Lambie, Jane Yellowlees, Meg Marshall and Pam Drysdale. Thank you all you were fantastic. Also thank you to all the Aberdeen ladies who came along and offered their support.
I would also like to thank Lenore and Shona for their support, help and friendship throughout, not only the weekend but the whole year. I don't know how I would manage without them.
But most of all to the Team who are an absolute pleasure to Captain. I don't think I have ever met a better bunch of girls. Their commitment and support of each other and P&K is fantastic. Well done all of you.

We leave tomorrow for our practice round and the matches commence on Friday at 9.30am where we will play Renfrewshire. Three morning matches are played as foursomes this is then followed by six singles matches commencing at 1.30pm. This format is then repeated on both following days. On Saturday we play Borders Tee times are also same and the final day we play Fife. Tee times are slightly different with morning beginning 9.52am and afternoon 2.15pm. The team along with myself, Lenore, Liz and Shona are staying at the Inchmarlo Lodges and a band of very loyal caddies and supporters are, at their own expense, also staying at the lodges. This just makes the event even more special. Thanks go to Janet Griffiths who co-ordinated the caddies and supporters.
If you would like to come along and support your team you would be made most welcome. A sea of Green Jerseys would be great!
I can not speak highly enough of the girls they are a great squad to Captain and I am very proud of all their achievements this year. I know each one will be giving their all for the Team this week.
On behalf of the team I would like to thank all our members who have sent Cards and Emails with your good wishes. This really is appreciated and makes the team even more focused on the task ahead.

WELL DONE P&K GIRLS

The sisters both returned scratch scores of 85 both also had exactly the same halves -45 -40. Emily won the tie breaker by virtue of better last six to take 3rd prize in the scratch section.

GOLFATHON!
We held our very successful golfathon on Saturday and thankfully it was dry all day!! We started at 7.45am and had a 15 min break at 11.30 then the last two rounds were completed without a break and we finished the day at 8pm. It was a great day and we all even managed to enjoy ourselves! Taking part was myself, Alex, Annabel, Carol, Emily and Laura.
I have to say a very special thank you to David Norman and Jane Taylor at Strathmore Golf Centre who not only provided courtesy of the course but David also put up a very nice bottle of malt and sold raffle tickets all day, he also had a bucket for visitors to sponsor us and he sold a round for 4 at Strathmore in aid of our funds. David also provided snacks for the girls at the end of play. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
I should have the final tally of what was raised soon and I will post this along with pictures of the day soon!
