JESSIE VALENTINE DISPLAY 23rd JULY


We have received an invitation  from Perth & Kinross Board of Culture regarding the  Jessie Valentine Display  at the Perth Museum and Art Gallery to be opened  on Tuesday 23rd July. If you would like to go along to the opening ceremony, please advise the Lady Captain, Fiona Johnston, as soon as possible.
The Display has been  organised to coincide with The Solheim Cup taking place at Gleneagles in September. The Display tells the story of Perth’s Fairway Maid, Jessie Valentine, who was also a member of the Blairgowrie Golf Club.
Her lifelong golfing career with championship wins at home and abroad through the 1930s and 1950s led to her becoming a Scottish sporting legend. Awarded an MBE for services to golf she turned professional in the 1960s using her skills to design golf clubs for women.
The Display opens on July 23rd and runs until October 12th.
