ANOTHER BUSY DAY OUT OF THE OFFICE

Headed off at 8 am and dropped off Michael Brodie at Craigiehill where the Autumn meeting was taking place. Michael finished 7th in the under 16 section , Rory Tinker 2nd in the under 18 section and Alex Simpson took 2nd spot in the under 14's with Brad a close 5th. Well done to you all.
Kirsty Brodie and myself had entered the SLGA Adult and Girl Foursomes event at Auchterarder and we had a brilliant time highlighted by 2 birdies . We finished 4th in our section with 32 points and only missed out of the prizes by 1 point (my fault)
Over the fence at Gleneagles Emily Aird took 3rd place in the Champion of Champions played over the Queens Course . Well done .
On my return to Strathmore our 4 boy team were just getting ready to play the back nine in the British Red Cross Day event and were a couple under par for the front nine (but had lost the Red Cross Ball) I watched them tee off and went to watch some of the Solheim Cup. When they came in they had also done well on the back nine and we waited in expectation for the results to be called. With 2 Kirriemuir teams and Blairgowrie also playing Strathmore who had won the event for the last 2 years were declared as being 1st and made it a Hat Trick of wins. Congratulations to Tod Bannerman , Callum Ewan , Cory Miller and Junior Captain Frankie Moran who made an excellent acceptance and thank you speech on behalf of the competitors .

With so much going on I hope I haven't missed anything out. Back to work for a rest tomorrow - oh just remembered Junior coaching Monday night 6-7 & 7.15-8.15 !!!!!!!
