SOLHEIM CUP THEMED EVENING FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS

Tonight we had 5 local Schools represented. Airlie, Alyth, Isla, Kettins and Meigle. This was open to p3 to p5 girls, 13 participated and 1 brother who came along joined in. We split them into Team Europe (Blue) and Team Europe (Red). We took the to the driving range where we concentrated on grip, stance and full swings and also chipping distance control. We then all went onto the putting green before heading onto the course. We played a Texas Scramble format and there was some great shots hit. The result was a win for Golf as both teams tied on the same score. The feedback has been amazing with many of the youngsters wanting to join the club.
Whilst taking this session I received another call about our Try Golf After School sessions and we now have 4 attending and the posters only went up yesterday !!! I really think we need to build a bigger Clubhouse.
We have more exciting news breaking soon regarding our very successful and unique Club Hire Scheme, watch this space. And finally we received money from P&K/Solheim Cup Development Funding and this is being used to provide Coaching for the adults who have joined Leitfie this year. The first of 4 session was full within 2 days of publication. These sessions will be extended if additional funding is secured. Strathmore Junior Section not only look after the youngsters but encourage parental involvement which enhances the whole Family Club feeling. This is the future of Strathmore Golf Club.
