BALLUMBIE CASTLE

The Girls' Inter Divisional Matches were played at Ballumbie Castle Golf Club, Dundee on Saturday and Sunday 9th and 10th June.
Four teams of 6 girls competed representing North South East and West.
This was a great opportunity for the girls to experience match play conditions in anticipation of inclusion in future county teams.
The weather was fabulous and great fun was enjoyed by all.
The Northern Division team was made up of Megan Aird ( P&K ), Aimee Taylor ( Northern Counties ), Samantha Leslie ( Aberdeen ), Kirsty Moss, Heather Peebles and Ashley Smith ( Angus ).
The overall winners were the girls from the Southern Division. Many congratulations to them, they played excellent golf!
Our Northern girls were the holders from last year but didn't do quite so well this time.
They were, however a great credit to their counties, Carol and I are very proud of them!
