Strathmore’s Junior Coaching programme is again paying dividends big time. With 7 x 1 hour sessions spread over 3 days provided by our 2 PGA Professionals, Gareth and Rory, we are seeing some amazing progress. Tonight I took a few out for their 1st Certificate. Emily was desperate to have a go and wow was I impressed. She now knows that her utility club is enough on the 1st after her perfectly hit 3 wood finished in the rough behind the green ! After taking relief from an unplayable lie she still managed a 6. Her next tee shot finished 30 yds short left but a magnificent pitch to a pin on the top level of the two tiered green left her within 3 ft of the hole and although she unfortunately missed the par putt an easy 4 was achieved as was her 1st Certificate. So pleased for her as her confidence has grown so much and her love for golf is definitely shining through. New member Kyle achieved his 1st Certificate easily with 2 x 5’s and also won some money from his dad by hitting a drive with a carry of over 100 yds. Harriet missed out but will try again and Sarah was so unlucky by lipping out for hers with a fresh air shot costing her dearly but I know that she can achieve this very soon. Peggy’s ball striking tonight was unbelievable and I suspect we may have discovered another major talent. Can’t wait to take her out on the course to prove me right. Ruby, James and Carly are not far behind. Zoe, Megan, Adrian and Taylor are showing so much promise. Then we have Matthew, Keir, James, Lochy, Jack and Chloe and that’s only from tonight’s 3 sessions. Can’t wait until Wednesday’s 2 sessions.
