2020 2nd NEW MEMBER

Huge welcome to James from Kirriemuir who becomes our latest new member.

UPDATE ON TRUST

Strathmore Juniors purchased a golf trolley donated to Peza Trust and the £50 is already on it’s way to Zimbabwe to assist with Trust’s hospital costs.
Message received from Francis Fleming of Peza Trust
He has an infection in his skull and is on heavy antibiotics for 7 days so he will be kept in. Then he will have 3 months of oral antibiotics. The slight worry is that the infection might be in the bone and they would have to remove a section but we are hoping not. He is feeling better and the local golf club head man has taken him some magazines and some treats. Thank you for your contribution.
The trolley is available for Hire to Strathmore Juniors for £5 per year plus a one off donation of your choice to Trust.

PAT BARRON

Suddenly yesterday Pat Barron the original owner and man behind the idea to create Strathmore Golf Centre out of his farm died. I first met him when I went down to see what he was planning. We jumped into his Land Rover and he took me round the fields to see where the holes were going to be. Dawn and I joined as members 21 & 22 and love what he started in 1994. We played Leitfie, the 9 hole course for a season whilst the 18 hole Rannaleroch course bedded in and opened in 1995. He was a real gentleman and a character, much respected and will be sorely missed by his family.
