STRATHMORE JUNIOR DOES IT AGAIN





Alexei Butchart keeps the Strathmore flag flying in Moscow - update sent from his dad 
 
Hi Iain,
The final winter tournament at the Citygolf simulator centre Moscow was played today - from the junior tees over the back 9 at the Tanah Merah Country Club Singapore.  After a nervy start - with a bogey on each of the first 3 holes - Alexei settled down and parred five of the remaining holes with a birdie thrown in for good measure.  His score of +2 was enough for second place today - meaning that over the 6 competitions Alexei finished with 3 wins and 3 second places giving him first place in the final order of merit.
The prizes are great - a year's membership at Citygolf simulator centre and membership for summer 2014 of a new course just outside Moscow - the Links National Golf Club. Above is a picture of Alexei receiving his new membership certificates from Will Bruce - Director of Golf at CityGolf simulator centre.
It is time for Alexei to get out on real grass - ranges here are open now and courses start to open next week.
Rgds, Graeme.
PS - golf in Moscow is, as you know, incredibly expensive so needless to say I am a happy dad - Alexei has saved me a lot of roubles.
