WHAT A WEEKEND

The results are in for the most hotly contested competition of the season - the Leitfie Summer League.
1st Tom Stevenson 222 points averaging 22.2 points or 4.8 under par for each qualifying round reducing his Fun handicap from 54 to 28 (14 over 9 holes) 2nd Tarah Simpson 227.5, 54 to 31(15.5) 3rd equal Keir Reid and Arthur Rutherford 232 points, Keir 54 to 32(16) and Arthur 54 to 34(17) 5th Zoe Stewart 240 54 to 37(18.5). Special mention to Jack Harrison, Louis Purdie, Rory Harrison, Theo Tosh and Joel Tosh who also completed at least 10 rounds. James Thom and Fraser Rowan completed 8 rounds and with 45 players having fun Handicaps the Winter League which starts today will hopefully be equally exciting. 3 of our top five have upgraded membership to Rannaleroch which is the next step.  
We have been invited to send a team to compete at the Castle Course based on the criteria of the Bell Trophy selection process. So Cameron, Conan, Archie and Lochlan have confirmed availability. Stuart unfortunately is unavailable due to holiday commitments. Kirsten and Blair have been invited to play but unfortunately Kirsten has a performance training day but Blair should be ok although he does have his 2nd  Covid 19 injection on the 15th. 
Next stage of development for Strathmore juniors is having a past junior member playing in the Dunhill Championship. Hazel MacGarvie still an amateur was selected to play over Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and St Andrews unfortunately she and her professional missed the team cut but what an achievement. 
Hopefully this can inspire our current crop of juniors what can be achieved with hard work, dedication and loads of practice.
