ALBATROSS LANDS AT STRATHMORE

The Scottish Girls under 18 Open teed off today with 3 Strathmore players taking part. Before this high quality event started with so many low handicap girls from all over Europe taking part I thought if Kirsty could make the cut (top 60) and if Megan and Amy could make the top 90 it would be a great result. I am delighted to announce all 3 did themselves proud, Kirsty lies tied 24th after hitting 75 including a tremendous albatross 2 on the 14th !!!! and finished off with a great approach shot on 18 to 18 inches and an easy birdie. Megan, on her birthday, shot 84 and lies tied 77th and Amy shot 85 and lies tied 80th. All 3 well within my expectations, what a great 1st day. With the css 73 Kirsty and Amy will both reduce their handicaps and Megan played within her buffer. Tomorrow all 3 will go into their rounds with great confidence and I can't wait to see what that brings !!!
