ANOTHER GREAT DAY FOR STRATHMORE JUNIORS

Went out with Stuart and Lochlan for a few holes and wow was I impressed by both players. Lochlan stared off with a great birdie after hitting his approach shot to 2ft. When we were on the 3rd green Conan and Cameron hit their tee shots within 15 yds of the green then Blair shouted fore as his tee shot finished on top of the hump front right of the green. These boys have certainly gained massive distances off the tee and when Lochlan gave me 40 + yds down the 5th I enquired what was making the difference and was delighted when he told me it was all down to slowing his swing down a bit. I left to get to Crieff and meet our GolfSixes team. Was great fun with some great scores and we finished tied 2nd with Pitlochry with the hosts running out comfortable winners. The funniest thing that happened today was Adrian who scored a hat-trick which is normally associated with football. First up he forgot his cap so purchased one in the pro shop. Next up on the 5th the longest drive hole he hit a monster which finished in the middle of the fairway. And it was hilarious when he was presented with his prize a skip and a beanie so the hat-trick was complete. Our team members confidences are growing and to see the smiles and the interactions is brilliant and will help all these players develop. Next up tomorrow is a Family Fun Day and the 2nd round of the Skills Challenge.
