THE SEASON GETS GOING

This weekend junior Captain Kirsten Miller heads to Gullane to play in the Scottish Woman’s Amateur Championship and she will be joined by 4 past Strathmore Girls - Emily Aird, Hazel MacGarvie, Megan Ashley and Katy Alexander. Tonight Dawn and I are taking Lewis and Adrian out for cards for handicap and both will soon be joining our growing band of Full Congu Handicap players. Last weeks coaching where we concentrated on using different clubs around the greens for pitching and chipping is certainly paying dividends with Jack Stevenson telling me it helped him to a magnificent 37 round Leitfie after starting with 6,5 he then went 4,4,3,3,4,4,4. Tremendous scoring and another 4 stroke handicap reduction and another player who has been invited out for a card for handicap on Rannaleroch. Another youngster who has made dramatic progress over the last couple of weeks is Saoirse, her swing speed and the power generated has made such a difference. She attained her first Certificate easily by being able to nearly drive the first green and with not the best tee shot on 9 making the green in 2 with a great 2nd shot. It’s so exciting to see the progress these youngsters are making and the smiles and the happy dances certainly shows that they are loving it.
