Girls Inter Divisional Matches

Perth & Kinross junior and member of the Elite junior coaching squad Annabel Niven, represents Perth & Kinross in the Northern Division team at the Girls Inter Divisional Matches at Ballumbie Castle near Dundee this weekend. The team which consists of 6 junior girls with handicaps of 9 or more, play foursomes matches against the South, West and East divisions today and tomorrow. Good luck Annabel!

JAMBOREE WEEKEND

The inter-county Team Championships are being hosted by Perth and Kinross at Crieff Golf Club on June 24th, 25th and 26th. This is an ideal opportunity for our junior girls to come along and watch the cream of golfers compete at top level. The players will be from P&K, Angus, Aberdeenshire and Northern Counties. To be even more involved we are looking for girls to come along and caddy at the weekend. This will enable you to watch the golf from the best view available. If you don't fancy being a caddy then there are other jobs you could do to help over the weekend. To enable us to arrange a rota I would ask that you contact me on 01828 633000 or 01828 633395 and let me know your availability.

Thanks
Dawn
