WHERE DO I START !!!


















Helicopter Saturday, Trophy winner at the AIG Women’s Open golf Skills Challenge, another new member and coaching off to a flyer. Owen makes it new member 49 (94 Junior members) for 2021. Certificates awarded to Sam and William. Our first attendees at coaching Nathan, Maia, Sam and Owen were all very impressive and the improvements in all our existing juniors was amazing to watch and with a few tweaks became even better. I am so excited to see how far some of these youngsters can progress. Having told Tom he trailed in the Summer League he went out with his dad, shot 39 took the lead and reduced his handicap by 3 shots. This will be the toughest trophy to win this year. The previous leader Tarah was off with Zoe and Blair to the AIG Women’s Open Skills Challenge Final at Carnoustie and her dad was keeping me up to date with their progress and I am delighted to announce she won her age group and all 3 had a brilliant time competing and then watching the action. Came home to watch the final holes and there she was at the side of the 18th studying the line of the putts. Who knows maybe someday she might have that same putt but she will be ready. Back at Strathmore the weather was horrendous but Dawn  was so ims



pressed that all the kids taking part finished their rounds with flooded greens and difficulty in finding relief from the water. Lewis won today with 37 points but we won’t speak about his opening tee shot, he stayed focused and obviously played very well. Tomorrow’s another day and we have invited a couple of our prospects out on Rannaleroch to assess their readiness to step up. What a brilliant day, so much enthusiasm for the game and so many happy faces.
