AUCHTERARDER RESULTS

Auchterarder was in marvellous condition and very well presented for our County fixture today.

At the 19th hole the main topic of conversation was the fiendishly tricky and quick greens !

JUNIOR COACHING GLENEAGLES

The last of the winter training sessions was held in the sunshine at Gleneagles on Sunday 16th March and it was great to see 11 girls getting involved in County golf. Andrew, the Gleneagles professional provided the coaching on the range and was once again impressed by the golfing ability and enthusiasm shown by all the girls. The putting skills challenges demonstrated some results which promise to give some excellent scores on the course this year.

The coaching hour was followed by a pairs foursomes competition on The Wee Course where all the girls played well.

Thanks go to Gleneagles for the Professional coaching, use of both areas of bays, the putting green and the Wee Course and to Hannah for liaising with them for our winter dates. 

A big thank you also goes to Catherine, Liz, Tony, Gemma, Isla, Eilidh and Laura for their help with the putting challenges and out on the course.

On Sunday 16th February, a cold but dry day, eight girls attended the County training at Gleneagles where they enjoyed coaching by Andrew, the Gleneagles Professional, along with putting and chipping challenges.  The girls followed up their coaching with a friendly foursomes match on the Wee Course.

Some excellent putting was completed. In the first group Olivia came out top in the Chipping, Putting ladder, and Gates and Isabella winning the Clock and Line.  

In the second group Lucy R triumphed in the Ladder putting, Tarah the Clock and the Line, Jessica the Gates and Jessica, Tarah and Sophie drew in the Chipping.

In the Wee Course Foursomes all the girls played well with Tarah and Anna winning with a score of 38.

A huge thank you to the Gleneagles Professional Team, (I think we may have used all their range balls during the morning lesson), Tony M for planning the skills challenges and Tony, Laura W, Michelle, Liz and Lenore for manning the stations of the challenges.

Watch this space for details of the next training session.

The County Senior Squad had a really great session starting out on the range getting some helpful swing tips from the Pro, Andrew.  A competitive 9 hole Texas Scramble in pairs was then played.  A great day getting back out on the course and getting some fun competition going!
