WHAT A FINAL!

Yesterday, as I predicted, saw probably the most exciting

and lowest ever scoring final ever held at Strathmore. It was a fantastic day with lots of you coming along for a great days golf.


The day began with a Junior Medal on Leitfie course. With the winner of the club Medal was Alister Goodfellow with a fantastic nett 48. The winner of the Congu Medal was Michael Brodie also with 48. Great scoring boys. It was then great to see all of you coming out to watch the final after your game! Well done and thank you, I am sure you enjoyed some inspirational golf!


The final teed of at 12.30pm and what a match it was below is a hole by hole account of the game.

1st hole Allan birdied 1 up
2nd hole Rory birdied all square
3rd hole Rory birdied 1 up
4th hole Allan won with par all square
5th hole halved in birdies
6th hole Rory birdied 1up
7th hole halved in pars
8th hole halved in bogies
9th hole halved in pars
10th hole halved in birdies

11th hole halved in pars
12th hole halved in pars
13th hole Allan won with par all square
14th hole Allan won with par 1 up
15th hole Allan won with par 2 up
16th hole halved in pars
17th hole halved in bogies and Allan retains the Junior Club Championship Trophy for the 4th consecutive year winning 2 and 1.

A total of 8 birdies , Rory 5 and Allan 3 and a better ball score of 4 under par through 17. Brilliant golf, they should also both be very proud of the way they both conducted themselves on the course. The game was played in the spirit that is expected from all golfers, junior or otherwise. A huge thank you to all parents and adults who came along on a very wet day and supported the final it really made the day extra special to have over 25 people walking round and enjoying the match.


The handicap Championship had already taken place last week when John McKenna won a very exciting match against finalist Brad Bannerman. This is the first year the Junior Section has held a handicap championship and John should be very proud in being the first name on the new trophy. Well done to both.
