ROLL BACK 10 YEARS



Strathmore Golf Centre kindly presented Strathmore Junior Section with new Team Colours for all our inter club, county and Scratch League matches. Eve Muirhead took time out of her very busy schedule to come along and make the official presentation. Eve spent a great deal of time with around 30 juniors who came along for a question and answer session then on to play a Texas scramble. Eve who is the current P&K Golf Champion is also an olympian curler whose achievements to date are Scottish Champion 2009,2010 and 2012. World Junior Champion 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. She has appeared in 4 European Champions 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, four World Championship appearances 2009, 2010 2011 and 2012 and of course her olympic appearance in 2010. Eve has also been BBC Scotland Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2009 and P&K Sports personality of the year 2012. In light of these achievements, Eve was the perfect person to explain to the juniors the dedication required to reach the top of your chosen sport. 

Following the question and answer session Eve came out on the course to spend some time with all the juniors who played a Texas Scramble. 
We are indebted to Eve for coming along in her free time to meet our juniors and we hope that Eve's very infomative talk will inspire all our juniors to reach their own golfing goals.
Many thanks again to Strathmore Golf Centre for the kind donation and all you juniors for coming along and enjoying the night.

STRATHMORE START- UP SCHOLARSHIPS NOW AVAILABLE



I am always looking for ways to make Golf accessible to all and am absolutely delighted to announce the unique “Strathmore Start-Up Scholarship” This has been made possible by funding from The Live Active Sport Development Team in partnership with The Gannochy Trust.  The “Sport for Change” grant will pay for 10 under 12’s (5 boys and 5 girls) to enjoy twelve months Free membership, a set of clubs from our Hire Scheme and a pair of golf shoes from our swap scheme which takes all financial restraints away during this very difficult time. Included is 17 x 1 hour group coaching sessions with our PGA professionals, full use of the Leitfie Course, practice area, putting green and floodlit driving range. We will also supply golf balls, tees, marker pens, ball markers etc. Our teams compete in Flag Competitions, GolfSixes, Handicap and Scratch Leagues and so much more. This is such a fantastic opportunity for parents who are finding things difficult to still have their children participating in Golf.

ANOTHER FIRST FOR STRATHMORE JUNIORS

Welcome back past junior Ben Anderson, new 2nd green keeper at Strathmore. Just over 10 years ago I was presenting him with his 1st and 2nd Certificates. He had been serving his apprenticeship at Alyth Golf Club but it’s great he’s back at Strathmore to further his career and who knows what his future could be. Today I attended the “Come and try day” at Blairgowrie Recreation Centre for Primary 1 to 7 local school children and had a fantastic time and may have identified a few great prospects.
