Yesterday we had our second last coaching sessions before the summer break and it was brilliant to see how much progress these youngsters have made. We had our normal 3 sessions before Frankie took Cammy and Fraser and I took Blair and Conan out on the big course. The boys played in the Summer League and we also played a better ball team challenge which our team won. Then today Dawn, Frankie, Jackie and I headed off to Ballumbie with our team for our 2nd League match and I am so proud tonight. With 3 players making their debuts I decided to match them up with our more experienced players. So 8 year old Archie took Chloe (9), 7 year old Keegan took Fraser (11) and 10 year old Lewis took out Anna (11?) who stood in last minute for Adrian. Archie played superbly well and Chloe assisted with some great putting. Keegan and Fraser gelled well and both of them played some tremendous shots, the highlight being Keegan's 3rd shot on the 2nd from 60yds which he nearly holed. Lewis and Anna played some inspired golf and made a great combination. With such a young team and some of our kids being small in stature in my eyes today some of them became giants. Everyone played their part and I am delighted that we finished joint top, tied with Carnoustie. Cannot wait until the 30th when we host the next event. Last week Archie won the medal for shot of the day with a brilliant solo 2 and today Keegan got it for his shot on the 2nd. These kids are a credit to Strathmore and what a future some of them might have.
