University of St Andrews School Girls Golf Tournament 2011

The Ladies Golf Club, alongside the University of St Andrews, is hosting the School Girls Golf Competition 2011 on 17th and 18th September. The competition is aimed at Scottish school girls in S3,S4, S5 and S6 and will be a stableford competition. The players will also be given the opportunity to attend a University tour and information sessions on the Saturday afternoon.

The entry fee for the competition has been covered by the Ladies Golf Club, the University and by the Athletic Union. This means that the girls will get the opportunity to play both the Jubilee and the Strathtyrum Courses free of charge and it will also be a good opportunity for them to visit St Andrews and the University. We're hoping that the weekend will be informative and fun for all involved.

The University office will shortly be distributing posters to local schools and emailing those schools further afield.
