SHORTEST DAY AND 16 FULL GREENS ON

I know Christmas is not quite here yet but the days are now going to get longer and I'm already getting excited for next season. Dawn and I played 9 holes today and could not believe the condition of the course - especially the greens which were magnificent, the best I have played on at this time of year.
Yesterday Amy and Alex joined me for a Texas scramble and due to frost we had to play to the winter greens but still managed a respectable 4,3,3,2,4,3,4,4,3 = 30 out 4,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4 = 30 in = 60. Run of 6 x 3,s was the highlight.
Next planned outing Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of January anyone looking to join in let me know, let's get 2015 off to a flyer.

Merry Xmas everyone and we are going to have a really happy New Year !!!

HEAR YE HEAR YE - ANOTHER FIRST

Strathmore Junior Section had been nominated in the 2014 Alyth and District Business Association's Group of the Year award and I have the pleasure to announce we have won.
It is an honour to be the recipients of this trophy as Alyth and District had a number of groups, organisations and clubs who were nominated, so to come out on top puts the icing on another fantastic year for Strathmore Juniors.



 

WELCOME BACK TO OUR 1st NEW MEMBER OF 2015

I am delighted that Megan Ashley has joined Strathmore again and that we will be her home club. Megan plays off a handicap of 15 so will be challenging for a place in both our Scratch and Bell Trophy teams and will be a welcome addition to our Saturday competitions. By reducing her handicap from 22 to 15 last year I look forward to seeing how much more progress she can make and another single figure junior girl is achievable before the season is out.
Welcome back and look forward to joining you on the course soon.
       

LOCAL HERO PUTS HIS FOOT ON THE 1st RUNG OF THE LADDER

Bradley Neil today put his foot firmly on the first rung of success by making the cut as an amateur in the opening European PGA event of the 2015 season at Leopards Creek, South Africa. He shot a superb 2 under par round to make the cut and tees it up with Robert Rock tomorrow. Strathmore's best wishes go with him and it proves again anything is possible if you work hard.
