GREAT WEEKEND AGAIN

Big weekend again. Yesterday Kirsty Brodie played current P&K ladies Champion Jillian Milne in the last 16 of this years championship and pulled off an impressive 5&4 win. Unfortunately she met the number 1 seed Laura Walker in the quarter final and should be proud that she took her to the 16th. Kirsty is now definitely reaping the benefits of all her hard work and practice. Megan Ashley won the junior May Medal with a great nett 69 and reduced her exact handicap to 12.5. Brad Bannerman and Alex Simpson were off to Tulliallan for a practice round and possible selection for P&K boys Area Team championship team. Alasdair Richmond became our 7th player this season to take advantage of the club hire scheme and with James Bonar awaiting delivery to become the 8th I am extremely proud to have set up this concept which will for years to come benefit Strathmore Juniors and it's members. Finally as Dawn was refereeing the County Ladies final I was left without a partner for the Gary Smith Trophy and asked Amy Mitchell if she would deputise, and we gelled very well together with 8 x 3 points and 10 x 2 points giving us a winning total of 44. Amy's play was superb and her putting was magnificent especially on 17 and 18 where she holed from 6 and 12ft. I did assist on 6 holes but she was the star ! What a way to finish off a great weekend and it all starts again tomorrow when our Scratch League team head to Pitlochry to defend our 2015 undefeated record.
