This will include use of all the practice facilities, four courses and 6 hours of individual coaching.
This sets 3 records for Strathmore and P&K.
1 - first time out of 4 girls scholarships available a club have been awarded 3 in the same year.
2 - first time out of 8 boys/girls scholarships a club have been awarded 4 in the same year.
3 - first time 4 players from the same club have been awarded the scholarships more than once.
I know all four will take full advantage of this amazing opportunity and they are already making plans to play together.
P&K County girls were looking to bolster their numbers and Strathmore now have 8 players involved. Kirsty and Megan in the ladies squad, Amy in the junior squad. Kirsten Miller who will receive coaching at Gleneagles and Mollie Castle, Flora McGregor, Georgia McKay and Dominika Iglinski who will receive coaching at Noah's Ark.
Tod Bannerman is in the under 18 P&K boys squad and receiving coaching at Gleneagles and Noah's Ark.
With Kirsty, Alex and Amy in the Scottish Academy programme making Strathmore the only club in the Country with 3 players represented it's no wonder I am so proud of my players.
Today Amy and I took out two groups of our most promising youngsters and were very impressed with their play. First up was James Bonar and Kirsten and with 15 full greens open we decided to play a Texas scramble with each player having to use 3 tee shots. We were out in 34 back in 32 for a total of 66. In the afternoon Georgia and Molly joined us and we were 35 out and 35 in for a 70. Was very impressed with all players and with this sort of talent coming through I see a very bright future for Strathmore for years to come.
Tomorrow it's Josh Davies, Finlay McCoshim and Georgia to see if we can beat the 66 ?
