STRATHMORE FLAG CHAMPIONSHIP

Our inaugural Flag Championship saw seven 12 and under tee it up today. All of them arrived early to have a practice before going out. For some of them this was their first time playing competitive golf and all of them loved it. It came down to the 7th hole, Callum had 6 shots left but unfortunately lost his ball off the tee, but his 6th shot still finished within 2ft of the hole. Seamus reached the 7th with 5 shots left. His tee shot finished level with the 8th tee and his shot to the green finished short, he pitched on and his first putt left him with a 4 footer uphill putt which he duly holed to become the First Flag Champion. I decided as we were all walking in that the players should have a nearest the pin on the 9th. Callum took the lead, then Leighton, then Tom but our newly crowned champion wasn’t finished and got inside them all. Brilliant fun and a bright future lays ahead for these youngsters.
