HANDICAP LEAGUE 2024

The 2024 Handicap League AGM took place recently in Perth where the presentation of the Loch Leven's Larder Trophy was made by Moira Lumby (King James VI) to this year's winners, Perth Ladies.

The final had been played on the Blairgowrie Lansdowne course between Perth Ladies and Kinross.  It proved to be a very close match with the lowest handicap players from each team having to take part in a playoff after the match was tied 2.5 points each.  Even then it took an extra 3 holes to determine the winning team.  Congratulations to Perth Ladies and commiserations to Kinross.

Thanks to all the players who have made this year's Handicap League so enjoyable and special thanks to Blairgowrie Golf Club for hosting the final.

The secretary of the HCL for 2025 will be Helen Pirnie, Perth Ladies.

Sarah Faherty (King James VI)
HCL Secretary 2024

2024 P&K AGM & PRIZEGIVING

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.
