Carly will spearhead P&K line-up

as they defend title at Dornoch

Curtis Cup teenager Carly Booth (Comrie), unable to play in the recent Scottish women's championship because of school exams, will spearhead the Perth & Kinross women's county golf team in their defence of the Northern Division team championship at Royal Donroch from June 27 to 30.
Carly also missed the P&K county championship because she will ill at the time but she did play in the St Rule Trophy at St Andrews over the past weekend and played very well indeed to finish runner-up to Kylie Walker and win the Under-21 trophy.
Carol Muir (Craigie Hill), recent winner of the P&K county title, and British women's open amateur stroke-play champion Roseanne Niven (Crieff) declined invitations to play from county captain Dawn Butchart.
Roseanne's younger sister, Annabel, will play at Royal Dornoch.
"Carol decided last year to retire from the county team and although she was invited she decided to stand by her decision. Roseanne declined as she has decided to play fewer tournaments this year," said Dawn.
The winners of the round-robin tournament featuring Aberdeenshire, Angus, Northern Counties and Perth & Kinross, will go forward to the Scottish county finals at Baberton Golf Club, Edinburgh from September 18 to 20.
