LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Before you become good winners it’s important to learn to be good losers. Yesterday we took 2 teams to Crieff for the Regional Qualifier and despite our best efforts finished 4th and 5th equal out of the 6 teams competing. We were not far behind the winners and it showed that pitching, chipping and putting are the areas that our players need to practice more. In saying that we had some players showing great improvements and Keir and Olly certainly will have taken a lot from the experience and this will definitely help them in the future. At Strathaven Kirsten qualified for the knockout stages of the Scottish Girls Amateur Championship and faces a tough match against Carmen Griffiths but as I reminded her anything can happen in matchplay. On Thursday Allan and myself were 1 down with 2 to play in the Gents Four Ball and I finished birdie, birdie to put us into the semi final. A lesson of never giving up. Good luck Kirsten just stay focused.
