Click here for the full results from the Jamboree at Dornoch.
Every member of the team tried their hearts out on a very frustrating and difficult course. Dry conditions and a non-prevailing wind made the course trickier than I have ever witnessed a golf course to be.
It's easy to say that the results didn't reflect our teams play - but this year it's particularly true and I know that Chris, Mary and I were proud of their efforts and steely will to do the very best they could.
With six members of our team in their teens and twenties we have a fantastic platform to build on over the next few years and with experienced players like Shonagh, Mary and Jackie around to support them it hopefully won't be too long before the Angus County team are holding some silverware.
An agreement at the Captain's meeting mean that teams had to play their Curtis Cup players, Internationalists and County champions first in that order, and that made for some fantastic ties.
I'm sure the team would like to thank Nancy, Graham, Dorothy and Christina for their support and the local members who pulled trollies.
Next year the Jamboree is at Landsdowne, Blairgowrie - less of a trek for sure!

Many thanks go to Jackie for the hard work and effort she put in to making last night's fund raising quiz at the Fort Bar in Broughty Ferry such a success. Also well done to everyone who came along to support and donate generously in a team, in the raffle and in the auction.
The result was a final total raised in excess of £720 - what an achievement!!
Woohoo
Well done Angus is all I can say after an excellent scottish for the local girlies.
To start with we had 3 players in the top ten strokeplay qualifying slots - Katy at no 3, Ann at No 7 and Ailsa at No 9.
Ailsa and Gail both won trophies for strokeplay rounds.
In the matchplay, Ailsa lost out to experienced former internationalist Sara Bishop in round 1. Katie and Ann progressed to round 2, where Ann lost to eventual finalist Louise Kenney and Katy just lost out at 18th to the wee wonder, Lesley Atkins.
Heather and I managed (due to a succession of hair appointments, caddy duties, Beyonce concerts, exams and proposed hangovers) to qualify for the Rosebowl but we both bowed out at the first hurdle.
The icing on the cake is the announcement on Saturday that Ailsa has been selected to play for Scotland in the European Junior Masters in France in July - great result and well done to Ailsa from all of us
