JUST ANOTHER SATURDAY

Started with the coaching and after watching Josh Clark hitting shots at the range decided he should have a go at his 1st Certificate and after a quick putting lesson off he went. Great tee shot just short of the green, chip onto the green and 3 putts for a 5, then another great tee shot and a superb chip which with another roll would have been in for a 2 !! easy 3 and total of 8. Took Finlay and Josh out to try 18 on the Rannaleroch. Both started well with a 6 and an 8. Josh found it quite tough especially as he found the rough a few times and struggled to get out and Finlay scored better but both need a bit more practice before stepping up to the big course. I have advised them to play on Lietfie every Saturday after their lesson and also once during the week and next month I will give them another go on the big course.  

Next up was the Scratch League and we needed a win to make sure we had a chance of securing a place in the semi finals. Alex led out the team and won convincingly 6&5, Conor played a junior Captains role by standing in at short notice and played well but lost out 3&2 and all our hopes were on Megan and after a brilliant chip on 15 (courtesy of some "amazing coaching tips" she had received last night) went 1 up, then won 16 to go dormie. After losing 17 pressure was on and she found the fairway  bunker but played a superb shot and then found the green in 3. Her opponent was just short but putted up to 2 ft and Megan's first putt finished short and her 2nd putt slid past to leave Declan a chance to square the match but fortunately for us his putt lipped out and Strathmore secured the win we needed. 

Next up is Alyth at home and a win will see us make the semi finals.
