OLYMPIAN EVE MUIRHEAD VISITS STRATHMORE


Strathmore Golf Centre kindly presented Strathmore Junior Section with new Team Colours for all our inter club, county and Scratch League matches. Eve Muirhead took time out of her very busy schedule to come along and make the official presentation. Eve spent a great deal of time with around 30 juniors who came along for a question and answer session then on to play a Texas scramble. Eve who is the current P&K Golf Champion is also an olympian curler whose achievements to date are Scottish Champion 2009,2010 and 2012. World Junior Champion 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. She has appeared in 4 European Champions 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, four World Championship appearances 2009, 2010 2011 and 2012 and of course her olympic appearance in 2010. Eve has also been BBC Scotland Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2009 and P&K Sports personality of the year 2012. In light of these achievements, Eve was the perfect person to explain to the juniors the dedication required to reach the top of your chosen sport.
Following the question and answer session Eve came out on the course to spend some time with all the juniors who played a Texas Scramble. 
We are indebted to Eve for coming along in her free time to meet our juniors and we hope that Eve's very infomative talk will inspire all our juniors to reach their own golfing goals.
Many thanks again to Strathmore Golf Centre for the kind donation and all you juniors for coming along and enjoying the night.
