Fantastic news, Archie and Angus both achieve their spaces, hopefully they take full advantage of this amazing opportunity. 

* Gleneagles Foundation Junior Order of Merit Update

The curtain has come down on a long and successful season for our Juniors, with last weekend’s Gleneagles Junior Open bringing our season-long Scratch and Handicap Order of Merits to an exciting conclusion.

Spanning 17 events, participation levels this year have been exceptional which was well above recent seasons, providing a fantastic foundation to build upon as we move into 2026!

Without further ado, congratulations to:

🏆 Robbie Hepburn (Kinross Golf Club) – Winner of the Scratch Order of Merit

🏆 Lachlan Dodds-Miklosik (North Inch Junior Golf Club) – Winner of the Handicap Order of Merit

It’s with great pleasure that we also confirm the following Juniors have earned Gleneagles Foundation Scholarships for 2026:

*Scratch*

Robbie Hepburn – Kinross Golf Club

Archie Pattullo – Strathmore Golf Centre

Angus Palmer – Strathmore Golf Centre

*Handicap*

Lachlan Dodds-Miklosik – North Inch Junior Golf Club

Congratulations to all on your outstanding achievements! Everyone at P&K wishes them all the very best and hope that they thoroughly enjoy the Gleneagles Foundation experience.

A special thank you must also go to all the parents, grandparents, amongst others who have spent countless hours travelling and encouraging the Juniors throughout the season. You’ve more than earned a well-deserved rest before the 2026 season begins!

NEW CLUBS PAY OFF

Joe was fitted for a new set of irons today from our hire scheme, and wow what an improvement. His ball striking was very impressive. He shot a nett 65 and won by 8 shots. I believe he has the ability to improve very quickly. He plays Ice Hockey at International level but hopefully he can play a bit more golf next year. 

ANOTHER JUNIOR DOES THE TREBLE

Met Will McLaren today before he went out on the course with his Gran. Suggested they kept his score and met him as we were putting our clubs away. He achieved his first Certificate , second certificate and has a fun handicap of 40. 20 over 9 holes. Congratulations and another player able to play Winter League. 

COURSE RECORD

Past Strathmore Junior and Ladies European Tour Professional who is now working at Royal Troon (won the ProScot Young Professional Tour Championship at Gailes Links and in doing so broke the course record. What a fantastic score and result. 

 

LAST TROPHY OF THE SEASON

Very appropriate that Jessica Sievwright retained the Victoria Irving under 13 match play Trophy today against Archie Loudon. The Trophy was donated in memory of Jessica’s Aunt. I went down to see them off and both hit great drives up the first. She eventually won 3&2 in a closely contested match played in the best spirit. 

Dawn and I played with past Junior James Bonar this afternoon and it was great to catch up and hear all his news. 

TODAYS RESULT

Congratulations to Keir Reid who shot a nett 70 today with a lost ball, great scoring. Dawn was very impressed by his play. I took out Keegan Fergusson, and Hunter McQueen joined as to assess his readiness to upgrade. He managed nine holes and played a lot of good shots but I think he maybe needs another year. His putting was good which will help with his progress. It’s been a while since I played along with Keegan and what a transformation. His ball striking has improved so much and his putting was phenomenal. His score did not reflect his play and there were so many positives to take from today. I was also very impressed on how he encouraged Hunter and gave him advice. His maturity also shone through by his reaction to the couple of poor shots. He didn’t dwell on them but concentrated on his next shot and made them count. He has a goal for 2026 of achieving a Gleneagles Scholarship and it is definitely a possibility on what I witnessed today. Archie Loudon played along with Dawn and she felt he was rushing his swing so hopefully he takes her advice and just slow it down a wee bit. He has had a great season and just needs to play his own game.
