Perth & Kinross County Junior Girls

Junior Texas Scramble

2011-09-25T19:13:00.000Z

Unfortunately the proposed Texas Scramble and Prize Giving arranged for Sunday 2nd October at Strathmore has had to be cancelled due to lack of support.

This season the junior events have not had as much support as in previous years, a combination of weather, exams and holiday has made it difficult.

Carol and her team put a huge amount of time and effort organising these events and it is very dissapointing when girls do not respond to invitations to play or worse still, say they are coming and then just don't turn up.

I would like to say a very big thank you to Carol for all her efforts to encourage junior golf in the county, we do have a core of very dedicated and entheusiastic girls who come along to everything and thes girls make Corol's work worth while.

Elite Squad Coaching

2010-04-01T13:14:00.007Z

The girls in our Elite Junior Squad have completed three coaching sessions through February and March, in between the periods of snowfall.

The first session was in the driving range on long game, followed by a trip onto the 9 hole course, with Brian and Andy, having a look at course management.

Finally Andrew and Matthew touched on some mental techniques helpful to get into the 'ZONE'.

The girls have enjoyed the coaching and found some of the techniques really useful.

The photographs show Megan, Emily, Nicola, Kathryn and Erica, followed by Hannah, Laura, Rheanna and Erin.

Two squad members not in the photos are Eilidh Watson and Siobhan Teague.

Many thanks to Brian and Andy, shown in the pictures and to Matthew and Andrew.

Our next event is the Junior and Senior game at Strathmore on Saturday 10th April. We hope to have 14 pairs playing.

Alyth Hit by Lightning

2009-07-06T21:54:00.003Z

The Junior Meeting for the Drysdale and Karen Dallas Trophies at Alyth turned out to be a bit of a damp squib!

As all around suffered a torrential down pour Alyth stayed dry long enough to let all the girls get off the first tee but the thunder rumbled ever closer and as the last group putted out on the first green the hooter sounded and everyone had to make a dash for cover.

When a head count was taken, back in the club house, three girls and three ladies were missing!!
It was soon discovered that they had taken refuge in a summerhouse somewhere near the eighth so when the rain eased buggies were dispatched to rescue them and all was well.

We all enjoyed a good lunch and lots of chat but no more golf.

Many thanks to Alyth for their warm hospitality.

We had provisionally booked Monday 5th October to replay this competition but this does not suit some of the girls so we will let everyone know when we find another date.

Our warmest congratulations go to our new Scratch Girl Champion Eilidh Watson (Muckhart) who played brilliant golf over Crieff yesterday. Eilidh returned an excellent 84. In second place was Nicola Robertson (Dunblane) 89 and third was Ailie Burnett (Dunkeld and Birnam) 90. In the handicap section it was a nail biting finish, the winner was Laura Aitken (Killin) (19) who returned an excellent 73 just pipping Lauren Marchbank (Auchterarder) (19) who also returned 73 however Laura lifted the trophy by virtue of best last three. In third place was Patricia Mennie (Auchterarder) (21) 74. The CSS was 73. The play was excellent and I was delighted to walk round and watch the display of golf the girls achieved. Perth and Kinross is certainly safe hands with these girls coming through the junior section and I am sure that in the not to distant future we will be seeing more than a few of these girls names in our senior team.

In the nine hole event the winners were Jennifer Saxton (Milnathort) who returned 45. In second place was Jennifer Duncan (Auchterarder) 47 and third place went to Jennifer Mennie (Auchterarder) 55. A great day for the 'Jennifers'!! Congratulations to all of them and sincere thanks to member Pat Colquhoun who donated a trophy for the 9 hole girls.
The turn out for day was suberb 15 girls played the 18 hole course and 15 played over the 9 hole course. Our sincere thanks go to Crieff Captain Eileen Callander who organised a band of very willing Crieff members to come along and help with the younger 9 hole girls. Also thanks go to Crieff Golf Club for providing courtesy, to Carol Lambie for organising the event and our president Liz Miskimmin for presenting the prizes.
Below is a slide show of the day. Lenore also took photo's of the nine hole girls which I will post soon. Above is a photo of the prizewinners.

CARLY IS TOPS

Well done to Team member Carly Booth who not only won the Scottish Junior Champion of Champions but won it in real style!! Played over the fabulous Kingsbarns golf Course, Carly returned an amazing 5 under par 67 to take the crown by 5 clear shots. Carly's round began with five birdies in the first seven holes and with a total of eight throughout the round. She also had one bogey at the par three 2nd and a double bogey on 14th following a lost ball. When I spoke with Carly last night she was delighted with her performance and felt she had her confidence back following a lot of hard practice, practice which certainly has paid off. Well done Carly, a fantastic end to the season.

Perth and Kinross were well represented on the day with 3 of the 13 girls coming from our County. Team member Annabel Niven came a very credible 5th returning an 84. Annabel's round included a fantastic eagle three at the long par 5 12th. Our third representative was Ailie Burnett from Dunkeld and Birnam.

WELL DONE P&K GIRLS

The UBC Girls Championship was played over the Loch Ness course at Castle Heather Inverness yesterday and sisters Emily and Megan Aird along with Pitlochry's Erin Millar flew the flag for P&K. The Aird sisters both returned scratch scores of 85 both also had exactly the same halves -45 -40. Emily won the tie breaker by virtue of better last six to take 3rd prize in the scratch section.

WELL DONE CARLY!!

What wonderful news came to me whilst playing golf in Tenerife!! The news being that P&K squad member Carly Booth had been selected for the Curtis Cup Team which will be played at St Andrews this year. Carly, at 15, becomes the youngest ever player to be selected for a GB&I Curtis Cup team. The previous youngest was Jane Connachan from Musselburgh when she made her debut at the age of 16 in 1980.

This is a fantastic honour for Carly and one which she is more than ready to accept. She has already been part of the Junior Ryder Cup team and playing against the United States will not intimidate our Carly at all in fact it will probably inspire her!

Carly's response when hearing the news was 'Awesome, Awesome, Awesome'!! We all send Carly our heart felt congratulations and look forward to seeing her at St. Andrews!

The team along with ages are below:
Liz Bennett (Brokenhurst Manor) 25, Carly Booth (Comrie) 15, Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) 19, Jodi Ewart (Catterick) 20, Breanne Loucks (Wrexham) 20, Florentyna Parker (Royal Birkdale) 18, Michele Thomson (McDonald Ellon) 19, Sally Watson (Elie & Earlsferry Ladies) 16.

MEGAN LOSES OUT AT STRATHMORE CHAMPIONSHIP

Junior Member Megan Aird was the first ever girl to reach the finals of the Strathmore Junior Championship on Sunday afternoon and I was very pleased to referee what was an excellent match played by two very talented, polite and courteous young people.

The other finalist was defending champion Allan Easton who was the eventual winner of the day. Allan also reached the Gents Club Championship final this year and although did not go on to win he was the first junior to take part in the final. Yesterday Allan played some tremendous golf and finished in style with a 3 on the ladies par 5 14th. Allan was only 1 over par. Megan had reached the green in two but Allan closed out the match by chipping in. Megan played beautifully throughout the match with 2 excellent birdies on 3 and 10 and her play off the tee was superb.

Both players conducted themselves in manner they should both be very proud of. There was no displays of bad temper or sulks and even after losing a ball Megan walked back to the tee quite happily. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon in their company.

Congratulations to Megan for her achievement in reaching the final.

2007-08-25T08:59:00.000Z

Congratulations to junior member Erin Millar who reduced her handicap in the recent Autumn meeting at Pitlochry to 21. Erin also had a super round in the Butter Cup scoring a scratch 88 (css 70).

Our Intermediate group of juniorgirls had their first coaching session today at Noah's Ark. The weather was chilly and blowy but the girls kept warm by hitting lots of balls on the range. The professional, Nial McGill, assessed each girl individually and filmed their swing and put them on to a DVD for the girls to take home and study. He also gave them changes to their technique to work on. Thanks to Junior Convener Carol and her daughter Gwen who supervised and encouraged the girls in the chilly conditions. The girls, pictured with Niall McGill are left to right Erin Millar, Pitlochry, Emily Aird, Strathmore, new member Laura Aitken, Killin, Rachel Clark, Strathmore, Jennifer Smith, Milnathort and Louise Campbell, Craigie Hill.

Elite Coaching

2007-03-11T14:17:00.000Z

Sunday 11th March saw the first session of coaching at Gleneagles for our Elite Junior Squad.

Weather, as usual, was cold and wet but our spirits were not dampened.

Laura Campbell, Lauren Marchbank and Patricia Mennie arrived bright and early for the 9am session and after a welcoming introduction by Stewart, demonstrated their potential on the range. Stewart and Andrew then gave the girls individual lessons where their swings were captured on DVD for future study.
The two and a half hours passed very quickly and the girls have some useful points to work on for their next lesson.

The afternoon group comprised Megan Aird, Caitlin Bartrop and Ailie Burnett these girls are also showing great potential and will hopefully soon be knocking at the door of the senior squad.

I managed to take a photo of the morning group

Stewart, Lauren, Captain Janet, Patricia, Laura and Andrew.
