JUNIOR GIRLS SPRING MEETING

The P&KLCGA girls enjoyed a sunny but breezy day at Murrayshall Golf & Country Club on Saturday 23 May 2026 for the Girls Spring Meeting.

The 18 holes competition was run over the blue tees of the main course with the 9 holes competition on the Lynedoch.

The Scratch Drysdale Trophy was won by Lucy Moran (Dunbracken Ladies) and the very close Handicap Competition for the Karyn Dallas Quaich was won by Tarah Simpson (Blairgowrie) on countback from Jessica Sievwright (Blairgowrie).

Lucy Richardson (Alyth) triumphed in the 9-hole competition to win the Lenore Kyle Trophy, with a very creditable score of 56. Willow Rae (Alyth) and Mia Baxter (Strathmore) were very close behind and it was great to hear they were all laughing and chatting all the way round the course.

Thank you to Catherine from the P&K ladies committee for helping with the younger players and the parents (who had permission) for helping ball spot and push trollies up the Murrayshall hills!

A huge thank you to Murrayshall for allowing us courtesy of the courses which was very much appreciated.

A better-ball team challenge was set for our six players and by the end of the round, all three scores of the team were counting. There was a mixed performance from one team while Isla, Kirsty and Laura W showed grit and determination to earn their Easter egg trophies!!🏆 Hopefully the good vibes keep rolling for the ladies going forward...

LADIES SQUAD PRACTICE DAY

The 2026 County ladies squad had their first winter practice yesterday (Sunday). They made the trip to St Andrews to enjoy some winter golf and team bonding. They were lucky with the weather as the sun was shining and blue sky was out all day. A little windy but that didn’t put them off! A good day was had by all with a little friendly competition to dust off the winter cobwebs.

GIRLS COACHING 14th & 15th Feb 2026

Winter is the perfect time to work on your golf game before the season starts and it was a busy weekend again for the girls of P&KLCGA.

Yesterday at Alyth, 7 girls enjoyed the sunshine with a coaching session run by Mike Rae, Alyth Professional, who put the girls and the County lady helpers and parents through their paces before going out on the Wee Course for some fun games.

Today at Gleneagles, where the weather returned to business as usual (snow and fog), 5 girls enjoyed 1.5hrs of coaching at the Golf Academy with Andrew from the Professional Team working on their swing and distance control on the Top Tracer.

Well done to all the girls and thank you to all the Lady Committee Members who helped at the weekend.

Next sessions are:

14 March – Alyth

22 March - Gleneagles

EXCITING TIMES FOR P&KLCGA GIRLS

➤Gleneagles Foundation Scholarships awarded to Lucy Moran (Dunbracken) and Lucy Robertson (Crieff)

➤Perth and Kinross County Golf Union Bursary awarded to Stella Walters (Blairgowrie).

➤Scottish Golf Warm Weather National Girls Squad training at Desert Springs Spain which Lucy Moran (Dunbracken) is attending at the moment.

➤Lucy Moran (Dunbracken) and Stella Walters (Blairgowrie) have been selected for the P&KLCGA 2026 Ladies County Squad.

2026 P&K COUNTY SQUAD

We're pleased to announce the Perth & Kinross Ladies' County Senior Squad for 2026.  

The squad will be getting together for some practice rounds and matches over the next few months in preparation for the Jamboree in June at Nairn Dunbar.

GLENEAGLES FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS 2026

Two of our Junior Girls have been awarded Gleneagles Scholarships for this year.

In the Perth and Kinross County Golf Union League the top three in both scratch and handicap sections gained automatic places in the Foundation while Gleneagles allocated two additional picks of their own.

Lucy Robertson (Crieff) played some excellent, consistent golf throughout the season and qualified by coming 2^nd in the Handicap League.

Lucy Moran (Dunbracken Ladies) played in only 5 of the League events due to other golf commitments but racked up 4 wins including the Scratch Matchplay Junior Championships.  Although she came 4^th in the Scratch League, she was invited by Gleneagles to join their Foundation.

 

The girls had their first session at the Gleneagles Golf Academy last weekend with the sessions running throughout the winter.

Well done girls and hopefully this will further help your skills and progression during the year.

JUNIOR GIRLS GLENEAGLES TRAINING

Six of our promising junior girl members attended coaching at the Gleneagles Academy today. The session held in the top tracer bays at the range was led by Josh Dunbar from the Gleneagles Professionals team. Josh helped the girls identify the areas of their golf game they should work on before the session.

Unfortunately, as a result of the weather conditions (fog and saturated ground), the girls were unable to spend the second half of the lesson on the Wee Course but instead continued for the full 1.5 hrs at the driving range. It was noted the fog was so thick only the first range marker was visible so they may have been driving the ball 450 yards but it was impossible to tell!

Thank you to the County Committee ladies who came along on the day to support the girls and to Gleneagles for a great session.

Next session for Group 1(HC) at Gleneagles is on Sunday 15th February 2026 10.30-12.00

Next session for Group 2 (no or high HC) at Alyth is on Sunday 25th January 2026 at 10.00-11.00
