SCOTTISH GIRLS UNDER 16'S

Strathmore members Kirsty Brodie and Emily Aird both faired well in the first round of the SLGA Under 16 Championship which is being hosted by Strathmore. On a longer than normal course and a higher than normal SS of 73, both girls returned a matching nett 73. However the CSS was reduced on what was a beautiful calm day, to 72. Kirsty returned a scratch 94 and Emily a very commendable 78.

This is an excellent start for both girls and we look forward to watching their scoring tomorrow. If you would like to watch the live scoring tomorrow click on the link below:

We would also like to commend Rory Tinker on his excellent efforts at the Scottish Boys where unfortunately he lost in his second round match. Rory said he felt his driving was not up to scratch but he did enjoy the experience and looks forward to his next challenge.

The junior committee are always very proud of our juniors accomplishments and are eagerly looking forward to the rest of the season.

SCOTTISH BOYS AT DUNBAR

Rory Tinker had a tremendous 5/3 win over Stuart Cameron (Renfrew) this afternoon and moves into tomorrows 2nd round to face either Craig Lawrie (Deeside) - Paul Lawrie's son or Lewis Kerr (Renfrew). Unfortunately Allan Easton was beaten in his match with his opponent birdieing the 1st 4 holes and although Allan hit the ball well he said he had a bad day on the greens.

BRAD CONTINUES STRATHMORE'S GREAT WEEKEND

Brad Bannerman just missed out on winning the P&K Under 14 Coaching Medal for a second time (winner 2009) by 1 point at Blairgowrie today. Brad had a superb round of 72 (nett 59) and was also runner up in the handicap section. Alex Simpson finished in the top ten 1 under the css for the day and will along with Brad reduce his handicap by 1 shot. Well done both of you.

Congratulations Allan Easton the 2011 Under 18 County Stroke Play Champion

Today at Crieff Allan won the Stroke Play Championship with a tremendous level par round. Allan is delighted with the win which sets him up in good stead for next weeks Scottish Under 18 at Dunbar. Allan telephoned with this great news and thanked the Junior Section and Strathmore Golf Centre for their support. After his winning debut for Perth and Kinross Gents last week, this triumph confirms Allan as an exceptional talent and we will continue to support him in his golfing ambitions. All the hard work and practice Allan put in during the winter has paid off and 2011 looks like being his year. Well done and good luck for the rest of the season.

Rory Tinker had to withdraw due to injury and Michael Brodie could not replacate his morning form which saw him taking the lead in the handicap section of the 72 Hole Gents Strokeplay with a nett 66 in turn reducing his own handicap to 10. Michael enjoyed his 1st experience at this level and no doubt will learn from it.

Congratulations also go to Emily Aird who won Best Scratch score in the Ladies Spring Meeting. This will give Emily a huge boost just before herself and Kirsty Brodie take part in the Scottish Under 16 Girls to be held at Strathmore this week.

Well done for your great starts to the season and good luck to Brad Bannerman and Alex Simpson who play in the P&K Under 14 Coaching Medal at Blairgowrie on Sunday morning
