Carnoustie Panmure Football Club are a ScottishJuniorfootball club from the town ofCarnoustie,Angus. They currently compete in theSJFA Midlands League.
Formed in 1936, they are nicknamedthe Gowfers due to the town's well-established links to the sport ofgolf ("gowf" inScots). They play at Laing Park, to which they moved in 2004, having previously played at Westfield Park.
The club received significant investment in the late 1990s, which has allowed them to emerge as one of the strongerTayside clubs participating in theEast Region. The pinnacle of their achievements was winning theScottish Junior Cup in 2004.
The club has an academy with players aged 5–8yrs, a youth set up with teams from 9s to under-19s, two amateur teams using the Carnoustie YM name and four girls teams from Monifieth Ladies. In 2013 the club became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation to provide a pathway for players from Youth to Adult football and to improve sports facilities in the town. In 2013 the club had 350 players across 18 teams.
