I am absolutely delighted to announce that Kathryn Imrie has agreed to become Strathmore Juniors new Coach. She has spent the last two years as Scotland Women's High Performance Coach so it's an honour for us to have her involved. She is really looking forward to getting started and meeting everyone.

Played for Scotland in European Lady Junior Team Championship in 1988
Played for Scotland in European Ladies Team Championship in 1987 and 1989
Played for Great Britain and Ireland in Vagliano Trophy 1989 (winners)
Member of 1990 Curtis Cup team
She played Collegiate Golf at University of Arizona where she was the 1989 All American
She turned Pro in 1990
