JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THINGS COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER

Tonight we had the P&K Gents AGM and prize giving where Strathmore Juniors past and present picked up their rewards. 2012 Scratch League Champions, Bell Trophy runners up and the Under 14 Coaching Medal Champion with past Junior Captain Rory Tinker also picking up 2 senior prizes.

To put the icing on the cake it was announced that Brad Bannerman and Michael Brodie have both been awarded P&K Gleneagles Scholarships. They become only the 2nd and 3rd Strathmore boys to be given this award following in the footsteps of 2011 P&K County Stroke Play Champion Allan Easton. Only 4 scholarships are awarded each year and for Strathmore to take 2 of the spots is amazing but then I was informed that Kirsty Brodie had become the 4th girl following Megan Aird, Emily Aird and Hannah Robb to be awarded the same scholarship by the P&K Ladies.

3 Strathmore Juniors awarded County Scholarships in one season, what an accolade to our section. 3 out of a possible 8 scholarships available unbelievable. The same 3 players had Strathmore Scholarships last year which provided the stepping stone from Club to County. Well done and congratulations to all 3, I'm sure they will all benefit from the opportunity granted to them.

With tomorrow's Awards ceremony still to come can this season get any better ?
