ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL DAY FOR STRATHMORE


Alex continued his great run of form at West Lothian today. Playing in the Scottish Boys under 16 Open he shot a 1 over par 72 to finish day one tied 9th and joint top Scot in the field. With the top 40 qualifying for the cut he has played himself into a very strong position. 
At Dunblane Megan lost 3&1 to Laura Walker in the North of Scotland scratch match play but should be proud of her achievement of making the last 16 and taking the match to the 17th.
In Norway at the European Girls Championship Kirsty and the Scottish team finished day one in 10th position. 
Amy visited to tell she had been given the all clear to start playing again and has been fitted with insoles to sort her foot problem and messaged tonight to organise some practice times.
Finally I had the pleasure to meet our 14th new member this season, Emily Dickens. A very warm welcome from us all.
