COUNTY CHAMPION 2024 - KATY ALEXANDER

Congratulations to Katy Alexander,  P&K Ladies County Champion 2024.

Well done to Jo Buchanan-Smith who becomes our Handicap Champion.

Commiserations to losing finalists Isla Moncrieff and Laurie Brown

Katy reached the final after beating Emily Ogilvy in the quarterfinal 4&3 then defeated fellow P&K squad member Kirsty Brodie 2&1 in the semifinal.

The final was a closely fought match between Katy and another P&K squad member, Isla Moncrieff with Katy eventually winning 2&1 to become 2024 County Champion.

In the Handicap Championship Jo Buchanan-Smith, in her first playing season with the P&K County, reached the final by beating Kornelia Zarychta in the quarterfinal then going on to win her semifinal against Tarah Simpson.

The Handicap Final was another keenly fought contest with Jo claiming victory over defending champion Laurie Brown on the 17th hole.

There was some great golf on display from the qualifying round through to the finals.  The matches were all played in a friendly spirit.  A special mention for our 3 Junior Girls who qualified for the knockouts - Lucy Moran and Kornelia Zarychta made it to the Scratch and Handicap quarterfinals respectively and 11 year old Tarah Simpson reached the Handicap semifinal, a wonderful accomplishment for one so young.

A massive thank you to Crieff Golf Club for their friendly welcome, the beautifully presented course and their hospitality over the 3 days.
