GOLFSIXES START

Dawn and I attended the inaugural Golfsixes event at Kirriemuir. And it was brilliant, seeing the excitement from all the competitors in their team colours and all the parents made it a real spectacle. We were the second team out playing along side Carnoustie and before we teed off there was a putting competition which our players all competed in as individuals. Fraser tied with 2 others on a score of 18 for the nine holes but lost out on first place as it was decided to award first place to the player who had 2 one putts, he had 1. Fraser went out first with Keegan, then Archie and Lewis and finally Conan and Murray. Everyone had a really good time and played a lot of good shots. Highlight was Archie’s tee shot on 5th which produced a superb 2 as he holed the 3ft right to left slider. Next week it’s Ballumbie with 4 others making their debuts. Can’t wait - this is the most exciting concept to hit Scottish Golf ever. It provides the perfect stepping stone from coaching to playing in a fun competitive environment and who knows where it will take some of these youngsters.
