Last Saturday Dawn and I hosted an end of season party for Eve Muirhead and were delighted when she told us she had brought her Olympic Bronze medal along, it weighs a ton. She was really pleased to hear how well our juniors were performing and I am sure the inspirational talk she gave us a couple of years ago may have helped. Eve is also a former P&K Ladies County Golf Champion and along with Dawn Butchart, current holder Emily Ogilvy, Laura Walker, Carol Muir and Jillian Milne we had 6 former winners in attendance and our best wishes go to Kirsty Brodie and Dawn who represent Strathmore tomorrow in this years last 16 at Auchterarder..
We welcomed another new member, our 6th this year, when Moya Craig joined and started her coaching tonight. Look forward to seeing her progress and also met up with the others Owen Voice, Cameron Voice, Frankie Kennedy, Jordan Hart and Sophie Patterson who also became our 3rd junior to join the Drumderg club hire scheme.
Last night I joined Marcus Ryan and Conor Hughes and we played the points game. Giving 9 shots to them was a tall order but experience paid off and I am sure that both boys will be reducing their handicaps very soon especially with a bit of short game practise. We had brilliant fun and I was very impressed with their ball striking off the tee but remember the old saying "drive for show but putt for dough" Final score 39,36 &33 - close game.
Amy Mitchell is now ready to take another step forward after she proved to herself tonight that her new driver was a superior club to her old driver - 5 yellow balls on the fairway covered by 10 yds compared to 5 white balls shorter and only one on the short stuff made it simple. She will now be hitting into greens with up to 4 clubs less! Love it when I'm proved right and can't wait to see the results.
Disappointingly we have been conceeded our Bell trophy match by King James VI as they cannot field a full team but we have accepted their invitation to take our squad along for a game on Sunday to give our players the opportunity to play the course and gain vital experience for the future.
I feel momentum building up and can't wait to see what happens next ?
