We WON the qualifier today !!!
At Strathmore we believe if your good enough you’re old enough and today three 8 and one 11 year old proved us right. We fielded a very talented young team and they all played their part in qualifying at Forfar for the National Flag Championship to be held at Gleneagles on Sunday the 1st of September. We got off to a great start with both Andrew Brass and James Thom parring the first hole.
Andrew then proceeded to drive the green on the second. James missed the green on 4th hole but his wedge onto a raised green was superb. Seamus Sangerman had finished just short but played a great chip which nearly went in. Leighton Thomas’s driving was very consistent as was his putting.
All four played their part. Leighton and Seamus both made the seventh green with their 36 shots. Andrew had a putt on the eighth green from 4ft for his 36th shot, and I told him it was his last shot, and he duly holed out (no pressure). James still had a shot left so teed off on the 9th and hit a cracker.
I am so proud of all these boys who played their part in this great achievement. Roll on the final.
We also have another Strathmore Flag team competing at North Inch on Saturday the 3rd of August. Could we have 2 teams in the final ? One can only dream.
