Dawn had played alongside Keir on Sunday and had said how well he had done. Tonight I decided to take him out to play the 10th on the Rannaleroch. He hit a tremendous drive from the yellow tees 150 yards up the right hand side of the fairway. We decided he should hit a six iron but it ran into the bunker. I asked him to hit a five iron and this shot was perfect and finished 10ft from the pin. His first putt was great for weight and left him a tap in 4 for par. Keir proved tonight that he is definitely more than ready for an upgrade and we are going to take him out for 18 to confirm. Aged only 7 he already is showing so much promise and with many Golf Clubs not even allowing children under 8 to join it proves again why Strathmore’s policy of no age restrictions works and allows kids of any age to enjoy golf. He has been a member for nearly 3 years and played in both our Flag and GolfSixes teams this year but is about to take the next step from Fun Handicap on Leitfie to Full Congu Handicap on Rannaleroch and who knows what next over the years. Took Callum, Kian and Nate out with Keir on 1st and 2nd for a quick Texas Scramble and they managed an easy par followed by another 5. Bella and Lottie really impressed tonight and their swings are text book and if we can get them out playing more often on the course could be exceptional.
