STRATHMORE MEMBER WINS AT FIRST ATTEMPT IN MOSCOW
Breaking news, just received an email from Alexei's dad to let me know that Alexei has just won his first ever competition at his first attempt.
Hi Iain,
Alexei played in a season opener junior competition at Kurkino Golf Club Moscow today.
The course is a 9 holer. Similar to Leitfie - only in this case it has 8 par 3s and 1 par 4.
There was a fair amount of thick rough and 4 frog filled ponds to avoid - and a river running by the 7th, 8th and 9th.
The par 3s include three short holes, three mid and two long par 3s - over 200 yards. The long par 4 (hole 8) is a dangerous one - bends sharply left to right with a river on the right side - lots of kids found the water or deep rough.
Alexei - scored:
1. 4
2. 3
3. 4
4. 4
5. 4
6. 4
7. 4
8. 6 - many came a cropper here.
9. 4
Total 37
Enough to win by one shot in his category - 10 years and younger.
Well done and great scoring with a par of 28, a round of 9 over would equate to a handicap of 18 !!!, tremendous scoring for your first competition. Look forward to seeing you at Strathmore in the summer.
