WELL DONE OUR JUNIORS!!

I am absolutely delighted to report that our Junior Scratch League Team not only went out and played their hearts out on Sunday night, but they won their very first match 3.5 to 1.5 against Pitlochry. Pitlochry not only fielded a team whose average age was much higher than ours but whose average handicaps would have been lower than ours (but of course it was played scratch). Just Fantastic!!

The team consisted of Allan Easton, Matthew Bell, Megan Aird, Grant Martin and Emily Aird. All five had played 18 holes just an hour before and went out on a rainy night and did us all proud. Elite squad convener Iain Butchart was there to see them off and wish them well. He, along with all the members who were attending a BBQ and fun day, got completely wrapped up in the excitement.

The groups of spectators did not put any of our players off in fact they were encouraged by the support. A great night for the Junior Section and a superb start to their Scratch League career.

Well done all of you, we are very proud!

Iain asked this to be printed.

'I would like to say I was very impressed by the support and encouragement that each team member gave to one another and in the sporting fashion that both teams played their matches. A credit not only to yourselves but to Strathmore Golf Club. Well done and many thanks to you all.'
