The girls for a change  enjoyed good weather to work on their pitching and putting.

Vice Captain Linda, Selector Carol and myself were all very impressed with the range of shots we saw, especially as the challenges were set up to be very testing.

Aberdeenshire County Training got under way Sunday 16^th February with the girls braving the weather at Murcar Links Golf Club with Head Professional Gary Forbes.
