Today was the start of a new chapter. Tarah and Keir were out with the others playing a card for handicap and Jack was making his debut in the last Summer League event. All 3 played very well. Keir was out with Archie and me and his ball striking was very consistent. He must have been worried about the pond but I told him it was only wet grass. He teed it up and sailed it by 100yds !! Highlights were 4 on 17th and his approach shot on 9 hitting the pin, he thought he’d holed it but the 8 inch putt was converted no problem. Tarah had a 4 on 4 and Dawn who played with her and Keegan said she is probably the quickest junior she has every played with. Definitely no slow play from Tarah. Jack who was out with Jackie, Blair and Stuart managed pars on 7, 10 and 15. All 3 were a delight to play with, their etiquette and behaviour is a credit to the section. Getting back to the scoring Keegan smashed it today, told Dawn he wanted to break 100 on the 3rd and boy did he do it. Shot 97 gross back in 45 only 10 over with a superb 5 on 12 with an up and down from the front bunker to a back right pin probably a 20yd bunker shot. 48 stableford points will lead to a big handicap cut. Stuart who took possession of a set of Ping G25 irons on Monday when he upgraded from graphite to steel shafts made them an instant success. His standard answer on how he got on is “fine” but today it was “great” and 38 points proved this. His score today secured the Rannaleroch Summer League Trophy due to his consistent scoring. Exciting times ahead and some more juniors are going to upgrade and maybe some parents joining as well.
