WHAT A FANTASTIC SUNDAY FOR STRATHMORE JUNIORS

Kirsty was back for the final round at Troon and shot a great final round of 78 finished tied 26th and reduced her handicap by 0.4 to 1.6. With such a high quality field this is such a huge result for her and perhaps a real game changer. She was the 4th placed Scot and when I met her tonight she was obviously very excited about the 3 days. She told me Alex had shot 1 under at Muckhart today and will also have a handicap cut. I messaged Alex to congratulate him and when he told how Kirsty knew I was gobsmacked and so proud of the two of them. Alex had went to Gleneagles where they have P&K scholarships after playing at Muckhart for a practice and met Kirsty on the putting green as Ron had stopped for a break from driving. That is what I call dedication and why both these players are so good and now hurtling towards being scratch golfers. Just waiting for full results from Muckhart but Amy messaged to let me know she had shot 79 !!! Another handicap cut !
Result through - Alex won the scratch by 5 shots with a gross 69 and reduced his handicap to 2.0 exact and Amy came 3rd handicap with a gross 79 nett 68 reducing her handicap to 10.3 exact. 
To round off a perfect day I met up with new members Josh and Cameron Clark who are the latest juniors to take advantage of the club hire scheme and were looking forward to trying them out on the course.
