The golf played over the weekend by all players was inspirational - a real joy to watch. Perth & Kinross had the top two performers of the tournament - Alexandra Bushby played 6 won 6 and Fiona Ramsay played 6 won 5, halved 1. My thanks go to our team of players who performed with dedication and focus and who received compliments all weekend from everyone around them. My thanks also to Vice Captain, Dawn Butchart who's support has been unconditional and unwavering throughout. We were joined by a stalwart group of supporters, caddies and helpers over the weekend, notably Dorothy Farquhar who was there all day, every day and Lenore Kyle who worked tirelessly collecting and recording the scores - their support is very much appreciated. For those who weren't able to attend - you missed a real treat.

Both Emily Ogilvy and Roseanne Niven went out in the first round of the matchplay stages of the British Ladies' Amateur Championships at Royal County Down today. Emily lost 3 & 2 to Emma Bennett of Australia and Roseanne lost to Maria Hernandez of Spain, 2 & 1.
