RETURN TO ORIGINAL DATE

We have been contacted by the Junior Scratch League organisers to be advised that the original date of September 11th has been reinstated as the date for our semi final against Kinross. The venue has yet to be confirmed.

JUNIOR SCRATCH LEAGUE SEMI FINALS DATE CHANGE

The Executive Committee of Perth & Kinross have rearranged the semi finals date to either Saturday the 17th or Sunday the 18th at a neutral venue (still to be confirmed).

STRATHMORE TOP SECTION AND QUALIFY AS TOP SEEDS FOR SEMI FINALS OF SCRATCH LEAGUE

Brilliant result tonight for our young stars. Playing Pitlochry at Strathmore tonight we had a tremendous 5&0 win. Allan Easton was 5 under (2 eagles and a birdie) winning 7&5 , Rory Tinker won 2&1 closing his match out on 17 with a tee shot to within 2 foot , Ross Dallas secured an excellent 5&4 victory before Michael Brodie produced an amazing 8&7 win (level par to 11 - 2 under through 7) Hannah Robb had a walk over.

We now look forward to the semi finals where we will meet the runners up of the Red Group on the 11th September at a neutral venue.

I am so proud of our teams performances this season.

As we have five category 1 and four category 2 players in our squad we have one of the strongest teams in the County a great testament to Strathmore .

ROSS DALLAS REPRESENTS ANGUS AT COUNTY LEVEL

Ross Dallas played at Portlethan representing Angus County Boys . Great to see another Strathmore member playing at County level.

EMILY AIRD HAS 2ND HOLE IN ONE

Playing at Blair Atholl Emily had her 2nd hole in one on the same hole (6th) as her 1st one. Last time she holed a 3 wood this time it was a 5 wood (obviously hitting in longer)

Well done Emily , many people play all their lives and never have a hole in one but 2 in the same season on the same hole is an amazing achievement .

STRATHMORE JUNIORS JUST KEEPING ON IMPROVING

Where do I start ? Emily Aird has her 1st sub par round at Rosemount, one under 73 , great achievement and the first of many. Michael and Kirsty Brodie played in the Monifieth Junior Open with Michael (now category 1) finishing 2nd Scratch under 15 and Kirsty 1st Handicap Girl. Rory Dyce shot 2 over at Kirriemuir to reduce his handicap to single figures and follows Brad Bannerman who is now also single figures. Alex Simpson achieved his seasons target of reducing his handicap to 14 (equivalent to no shots on the 4 par 3,s) by shooting gross 81 nett 65 in the Junior Summer League where Hazel MacGarvie played her 1st competitive round as a member. To top off the week Rory Tinker has been selected to represent Perth and Kinross Juniors in the 8 boy inter county Gary Harvey trophy at Braehead , Alloa.

GOOD DAY FOR OUR JUNIORS

Hannah Robb and Kirsty Brodie both posted CSS equaling 35 points at the St Andrews Junior Ladies Open Stableford Competitions today. Great scores when playing on a links course. The winning score was 38.

Callum Sinclair and Micheal Brodie also did well away from home at the Edzell Junior Open. Callum took first place in the under 15 handicap section returning an excellent net 67 which will reduce his playing handicap to 12. Michael returned a gross 77 net 72 taking 3rd place in the same section.

Great scores and thank you to the juniors who are contacting Iain or me with the scores!

ONE SHOT AWAY FROM PULLING OF THE RESULT OF THE SEASON

Strathmore Juniors represented by Rory Tinker , Michael Brodie and Brad Bannerman nearly pulled off a spectacular win at Rosemount yesterday . Playing in the P&K Junior 3 man team event Rory shot a gross 70 Michael 76 and Brad 76 and were pipped by home team Blairgowie who shot 70,75 and 76 . Remembering this was a Scratch competition our players with handicaps of 4,6 and 10 were only beaten by one shot by players with handicaps of 0,1 and 4.

I am delighted for our 3 boys who have each reduced their handicaps by one shot . Furthermore for Michael and Brad playing at this level aged 14 and 13 shows what potential we have at Strathmore .

This Sunday we play hosts to Pitlochry in the Junior Scratch League and a victory would mean we finish first in our section and secure a place in the semi finals .

Our juniors keep on improving and competing at the highest levels and I am so pleased for each of them as I know how much time and effort they all put in and its great to see them grow in confidence and this year I feel we have a team who can go all the way and prove to everyone that we are winners . Yesterdays result was a huge boost for Strathmore and will be noticed throughout the County.
