As Dawn, Jackie and myself were away at Forres to watch, support and caddie for P&K Ladies who won the Scottish Ladies Inter County Championship. Last time they won it was 68 years ago. Two past Strathmore junior girls were part of the winning team and a third was involved in the qualifying a testament to our coaching programme. Kirsten and Blair assisted Gareth on Saturday and Blair and Cameron assisted tonight. Special thanks to all 3 who are keen to assist and grow golf. Great fun tonight as we also held a putting Skills Challenge and everyone was up for it. Starting off with the first group James stood out and we were really impressed by Jon and Owen who’s concentration being new to golf was great and they both did really well. In the second group Olly and Finn picked it up really quickly and these two impressed. Madeline got it and Matthew wasn’t far behind. Great to see Bella and Lottie getting competitive as both girls have potential. Maya is determined and it showed through in the putting as she improved so much. Last up was our more experienced players and Archie was the first to match Cameron and my scores of 4. Stuart also did it but only Archie and I managed it twice. Everyone got in the spirit of it all and the improvements in distance control by everyone was impressive, it just goes to show that by adding a competitive fun element does lead to better putting, the most important part of golf.
