The University of St Andrews invites you to play in the Ladies Golf Club School Girls Tournament. The competition will be held on the weekend of 17th & 18th September 2011 and will consist of 36 holes played over two days on the Strathtyrum and Jubilee Courses.



The tournament will be split into two categories: the first for S3 and S4 pupils and the second for S5 and S6.

No entry fee will be payable from players. This will be covered by the University, the Ladies Golf Club and the Athletic Union. Players will also have the opportunity to attend a University tour and information sessions on the Saturday afternoon.
