Jamboree at Tain
Although the results over the three days were not as we would have wished,
our team gave their all. Many of the games were very close and could have gone
either way. The greens were very tricky and putting extremely difficult and in
many cases that is where a hole was won or lost. We had the best of weather with
Sunday and Monday played in glorious sunshine. The star performer for Perth and
Kinross was a new member in our team. Jennifer Saxton had 4 wins out of 5 games
that she played.
Well done Jennifer and I predict she will be in the team for many years to
come. Our other new addition, Hannah Robb also played very well scoring 1 1/2
points from a possible 2. These young girls were up against some very
experienced players and claimed a few notable scalps. Every one of our team was
a credit to the County and all matches were played in a friendly and happy
spirit.
Our sincere thanks to Lenore Kyle,Carol Lambie, Rhona McGeoghegan and Fiona
Ramsay who came and worked so hard to caddy for the girls. Thanks also to our
President, Ella Benzies who came to lend her support.
Our accommodation at Marybank Lodge was 5 star and enjoyed by all.
Catering for our evening meals was provided by Emily Ogilvy and can only be
described as also being 5 star. We enjoyed superb meals with a wonderful
selection of dishes. If you are having a celebration and require catering, we
can thoroughly recommend Emily to supply everything you need.
Thanks also to all our County members who have bought raffle tickets and
bag packed to raise funds to cover the costs.
Next year, Perth and Kinross will be responsible for running the North
Division Jamboree which will be held at Pitlochry from 21st-23rd June.
My personal thanks to Carol Muir and Alison Stockley to the team and caddys
for the tremendous support they have given me over the last three days. It is
indeed a privilege to be Captain of the County with such a wonderful backup. My
thanks too for the beautiful flowers and Tain Pottery vase presented to me from
all of the girls. That was a lovely surprise and will be treasured for years to
come.
Pat Colquhoun
Captain
