Attended the Skills Out programme at Blairgowrie tonight and for the first hour twiddled our thumbs as most of the kids were playing rugby, tennis, lacrosse, hockey and cricket. Then were inundated with kids wanting to try golf. A lot of enthusiasm was shown and quite a few decent swings but a lad called Archie caught my eye. He had never golfed before and was hitting some very consistent shots. I gave him a letter explaining membership and he was so excited when his mum came over to tell her he had been given a slip. I spoke to her and was enthusing how good he was when she asked if he had played left handed ? I said he had played right handed but we did have a left handed club he could try. We went over to have a swing and once I explained he would need to swap his hands over was amazed as he was nearly as good left handed as right handed. I have never seen this before - what a talent. I think we have our latest new member and with such a natural swing he could be really special.
We have 3 kids signed up already to come along on Monday night from Alyth primary for a taster session at Strathmore as part of their Fit programme.
Amazing times
