Today we held two sessions for six of our potential Strathmore Start-up Scholarship applicants. The Centre have agreed 2 months Free membership for them all before a final decision is made on who qualifies for the 10 places currently available. Some have never played before and most are very inexperienced but it’s amazing to see how much they improved in such a short time. Archie, Blair, Hunter and Logan were all fitted for clubs and all did really well and were hitting some lovely shots. Douglas who had come along last week had obviously been practicing and it showed as he had improved so much. Finally we come to Jessica. I have been Junior Convenor for 13 years and have mentored some amazing youngsters during that time. I went along to a “Come and Try” sports day at Blairgowrie High School and her natural talent shone through so much that I sent a message to her parents via the Schools coordinator
and was delighted when they got back in touch. She has the natural talent of Alex Simpson and the putting ability of Kirsty Brodie who were both Scottish Internationalists and if she works as hard as those two did the sky’s the limit. She proved I was right by going out on the course today and achieving her first Certificate with 2 shots to spare and her 2nd Certificate by 8 shots with only 16 putts over the 9 holes, gaining her a fun handicap of 38 and an automatic place in Strathmore’s GolfSixes squad. Well done Jessica.
