Pamela Williamson retiring from

senior international golf

PRESS RELEASE

Pamela Williamson (Baberton), a past Scottish senior stroke-play and match-play champion, has announced her retirement from senior international golf after a long and very successful career.

Pamela, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), has been an ever-present member of the Scottish veterans' team since the mid-1990s and, more recently, has been a regular member of the Scottish senior international team since its inception in 2004.

Most recently, she played for Scotland in the European senior ladies' team championship, the first time Scotland decided to enter a team.

This year's Vets' Jamboree will be Pamela's swansong as a player but her experience will not be lost as she has recently taken on the mantle of vice-captain of the Scottish Vets.

We are delighted that Pamela's vast knowledge and experience will not be lost to Scottish golf.

"I am quite touched about the interest in my senior golfing career," says Pamela. "Playing for Scotland, albeit at senior level, has been, for me, the absolute pinnacle of my sporting life. Therefore, recognition of this is hugely meaningful to me.

"I am still going to play in my favourite championships and one or two which, perhaps, are a little different, eg Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Croatia!"
