MENTORING GETS OFF TO A FLYER

With 5 Mentors and 15 juniors taking part our mentoring Scheme got off to a flyer this morning.  Stuart had Keegan, Louis and Tommy in his group and Conan had Saoirse and Seamus. Unfortunately the rain came on but having the covered driving range is such an asset and allowed the boys to get to work. The rain eventually went off and they continued the first session on the putting green. In the afternoon Kirsten only had Tarah as Maya and Nate had previous commitments but are looking forward to attending the next session. Again weather meant some of the time was spent at the range but Tarah was loving having her private session. I was very impressed observing the Mentors who were superb at passing on their knowledge of the game and all participants were buzzing after they finished. What a great start and Cameron has his group out tomorrow and Blair to follow. At Strathmore we always believe that it’s important to keep kids playing and being involved and this is a great concept which also gives our older more experienced players another challenge and the opportunity to grow and develop this skill sets. I then joined Cameron, Conan and Stuart for a Texas Scramble and we played to the summer greens from winter tees and shot 63. 31 out and 32 back. Great fun and a target set to improve on.
