SEASONS GREETINGS

Carol and all the P&K committee would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with good health and good golfing in 2014.

CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Jacqueline Sneddon from Alyth Golf Club won the Champion Of Champions which was played at Gleneagles over the Queen's Course in October. Jacqueline had an excellent score of 72 which matches the par for the course. 

 

The trophy was presented to Jacqueline at Craigie Hill Golf Club by our Lady Captain Carol Muir.

 

P&KLCGA AGM AND PRIZE GIVING

P&KLCGA held their AGM and Prize Giving at Craigie Hill GC on 24th October 2013.  Attendance was affected by a change in School Holiday dates with only 35 ladies present  and many of the Prize Winners unable to collect their awards.

The meeting was chaired by Pat Colquhuon  as her term of office came to an end. Carol Muir was elected as the new Lady Captain.  New committee members Lynne Sharp and Miggie Mackie were elected.

Prizes were presented by President Ella Benzies.

Our grateful thanks to Pat for all her hard work and our congratulations to Carol on her election as Lady Captain for the next 2 years.

A MESSAGE FROM RETIRING CAPTAIN

Below is a message from our retiring Captain Pat Colquhoun

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for their help and support throughout my term of office as Captain. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be County Captain and I certainly could not have done it on my own.  You have all been wonderful buying and selling raffle tickets, bag packing and supporting the meetings.

Our juniors have excelled this year and are a great credit to the County.

Hopefully I will be fit again for the start of next season. 

Also a big thank you to everyone who bought an LGU Breakthrough cancer pin. I know some of you were disappointed when they sold out at the AGM but most generously still put a donation in the box. I shall order up a refill bag of 50 at the start of next season and everyone who missed out will be able to get one then.   For the box of 50 which was sold, I have sent off a cheque for £82.

 

Wishing you all continued success  and good health in 2014.

Sincerely

 

Pat

NICOLA RUNNER-UP OF THE SLGA JUNIOR CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Nicola Robertson finished runner-up in the SLGA Junior Champion of Champions at the Dukes Course on Sunday. Conditions were  windy with cold miserable showers so a score of 74, one over the  CSS was excellent. Winner with a 73 was Lauren White from St Regulus and the National Junior Champion was third with a 76.  Eilidh Watson finished with an 81. Well done to both our girls for keeping Perth and Kinross name to the fore.

 

Above is from left to right, Connie Jaffery (3rd place 76), Lauren Whyte and Nicola Robertson.

SCOTTISH SCHOOLS V ENGLAND

Our very talented junior, Eilidh Watson, was playing for Scotland in the schools international to-day at West Kilbride. A few weeks ago Eilidh had the honour of being asked to be captain of the team. The Scottish Girls narrowly lost to England by 5 matches to 4.  Eilidh lost in the foursomes this morning but had an excellent win in her singles game in the afternoon. You are a great credit to Perth and Kinross Eilidh. Well done.
