ANOTHER UPDATE FROM PAST JUNIOR MEMBERS

Our success at bringing Juniors through the ranks has again been recognised at National level. Katy Alexander and Cormac Sharpe who both began at Strathmore are now in Tier 1 of the Scottish Academy programme. Alexei Butchart is now an Internationalist having represented Russia in matches against Spain in Madrid and Alicante. He won events in Rostov and Moscow which included a course record 69 in the later. Won the Russian Junior Tour under 15s and Junior Tour Order of Merit which gave him a grant towards clubs of 75,000 rubles (equivalent to just under £1,000) He lost in a play off for the Russian Golf Association Presidents Cup, but both he and the winner secured a free tip to Malaga for 2 weeks in February for their efforts.
I am so proud of what we have achieved over the years and with all these youngsters still developing the future of Strathmore juniors past and present is unprecedented and can't wait to see what 2017 brings.
This is how it all started for Alexei.
