STARTING TO THINK I CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE


I made this prediction on the blog on the 5th of  December and expected the season to start before it came true but our juniors have come up trumps once again !!! 
 

"Our Juniors keep on raising the bar and I see no reason why with all this additional coaching etc that next year and for years to come Strathmore will eclipse anything achieved by any Junior Section not only in P&K but in Scotland.

This unbelievable news caps the most amazing season and I feel privileged that our players have achieved so much but I know with the talent we have at the club this is only the start and there is more to come. 2013 can't come quick enough and with Strathmore now being a Scottish Development Centre anything is possible !!!!! mark my words".
 
After Alexei Butchart's superb results in his first 3 scratch competitions (2 x 1st places and a 3rd) the Russian Golf Association have selected him as a member of the Russian Under 14 National Junior Golf Team, geared towards the Youth Olympics and beyond . At 10 year old he is one of the youngest to be picked. Coaching starts in Moscow in February with a training camp in Spain in April. Team compititions have been arranged in Finland, Hungary and Latvia.
 
 


Dad Graeme said "to celebrate the good news Alexei took some practice swings on Red Square this evening - as you can see from the hat he has not forgotten his loyalties to his favourite golf centre !!"



If selected he will become Strathmore's 1st Internationalist.
