STRATHMORE JUNIORS TAKE ON THE CHAMPIONS OF DENMARK 2017

Every year for the last 40 years the Danish Golf Association in conjunction with the Danish Sports Writers have run an event to find the best junior team in Denmark. The prize is to attend The Open but as the final is in August the winners have to wait for nearly a year to enjoy their prize. Kokkedal Golfklub won last years event and we were contacted by Soren a member of the Sports Writers Board to see if we would like to play them in a match. The Centre agreed to host the match and supplied incredible catering and made their guests feel very welcome even extending courtesy to the driving range allowing the boys time to warm up. One of their team was unable to attend but another Club member took their space. Their first 2 out played off plus 2 handicaps and played Kirsty and Megan. Kirsty had been ahead early on and turned all square before Simon went on a birdie blitz, 10,11,13 and 15 closing the match out and being 5 under par through 15. Megan was up against a very steady Kasper who finished the match 7&6. It was agreed the final match would be played handicap as Kirsten and Emil played off 12 and 2 respectively and after being 2 down Kirsten showed her fighting spirit to eventually win 2&1, Emil’s round included two eagles on the 5th and 10th.  This was a tremendous experience for all the youngsters involved and a memory that will live for them for years to come.
