Tonight three Strathmore players made their match play debuts against a very strong Alyth team (made up of four Kirriemuir and one Blairgowrie member) Amy led the team out and won her match 6&5. Kirsten won 4&3. James, Kieran and Flora were the newbies and James won his match 4&3, Kieran found things a bit tougher and lost out 6&5 but will learn from the experience and last out was Flora who found herself 3 down after 3 but fought back to be 1 up at the turn and 3 up through 11 then lost 3 in a row to go all square before winning 15 and was still 1 up going up 18 and losing the last she secured a great half. We now host Kinross in a straight knock out in the Quarter finals and after watching this team perform I am very confident of a semi final place.
The night before Alex and I found giving 10 & 23 shots just a bit too much to give away in the Gents four ball and after being 3 down through 5 with our opponents 4 under nett. I birdied 6 to get one back and when Alex won 15 we were all square but lost 16 to another nett birdie and halved the last 2 holes to lose one down.
Tomorrow Kieran, Flora, Kirsten and myself have an early start as we head off to Dunnikier Golf Club, Kirkcaldy to compete in the Scottish Junior Open which is a team event and should be great fun to compete in and will give our Juniors a taste of playing in a National competition.
At Auchterarder Megan, Kirsty and Amy join Dawn in the P&K Ladies last 16 match play Championship and it will be an exciting morning as if they all win, Megan and Dawn and Kirsty and Amy will face each other in the afternoon quarter finals !!! Then on Sunday they have the semi final and final and fingers crossed.
