MICHAEL BRODIE BECOMES GENTS COUNTY STROKE PLAY CHAMPION

Well done Michael on winning the Gents County stroke play Championship yesterday at Pitlochry with a magnificent score of 135 and finishing 2 strokes ahead of the field. I made this prediction back in April and am so pleased for Michael and what he has achieved so far.

HOW MANY MORE RECORDS CAN WE ACHIEVE THIS SEASON ?

My quote from 5th April  - 2014 is going to be the best year yet, mark my words.Strathmore juniors will again be re writing history. "Think positive and your dreams can become reality"  Michael proved again today that he is the number 1 junior in Perth and Kinross. After becoming Junior Stroke play Champion last year he played Craigie Hill's Sean Davidson in the semi final of the match play at Muckhart this morning and took an early lead and was 1 under par through 3 and 2 up. Although he was pegged back to 1 on 3 occasions his consistent driving and iron play eventually wore his opponent down and he ran out a comfortable 4&3 winner. The final was contested with Muckhart's Ross White last years match play Champion and with Michael finding trouble off the 1st tee and losing out to a birdie on 2 Ross made the perfect start. After missing a birdie putt on 3 to pull 1 back Michael then birdied 3 and 4 to square the match. Losing 9 and winning 10 and 11 took the lead for the first time, a superb birdie on 13 and a great up and down par on 15 took him to dormie and when his opponent flew the green on 16 Michael's victory was secured and he became the 1st Strathmore match play Champion and only the 2nd P&K player to have won both titles and the 1st to win them in different seasons.
