By DAWN BUTCHART
Perth & Kinross county captain
On Saturday we held our highly successful Junior and Adult event at Strathmore Golf Centre. This popular event has 12 ladies who have either been or are County Team or Squad players or who hold a single figure handicap, play with 12 of our best junior girls.
Each senior and junior are paired and play a greensome competition. The adults players taking part were:
Carly Booth, Emily Ogivly, Laura Walker, Dawn Butchart, Jane Yellowlees, Gillian Wallce, Kathleen Duncan, Janet Griffiths, Laura Cambell, Sandy Bushby, Meg Marshall and Pam Drysdale.
The juniors were:
Emily Aird, Megan Aird, Ailie Burnett, Nicola Robertson, Erin Millar, Eilidh Watson, Laura Aitken, Siobhan Teague, Hannah Robb, Claire Gadsby, Kathryn Robertson and Roslyn Hall.
We really had a fantastic day and many thanks of course must go to Strathmore Golf Centre for all the support they give us as a County.
The winning scores were very impressive with Emily Ogilvy (Auchterarder) and her junior partner Megan Aird (Strathmore) along with Carly Booth (Comrie) and her partner Emily Aird (Strathmore) both returning one over par scratch 73s.
Emily and Megan pipped Carly and Emily by virtue of a better inward half.
The handicap section was also closely fought with Dawn Butchart (Strathmore) along with partner Nicola Robertson (Dunblane) taking top spot from Laura Walker (Muckhart) and Ailie Burnett (Dunkeld) by .2 of a stroke.
Dawn and Nicola returned 70.4 and Laura and Ailie returning 70.6.
