LATEST UPDATE

Conan and Keir had an amazing time in Portugal at the Junior Tour winter coaching at Penina. Conan had one round only one over par. Both boys are coming along this week to sort out their playing schedules for 20025 and that will make five we have assisted this year. 

Angus has confirmed his availability for the Junior Team Golf Home Nations Inter-Club Championship and am waiting on Conan and Stuart to reply. It’s beneficial to have at least 2 of our lowest handicap players in the team as one scratch score counts at each event. We have a great squad available in the handicap section and after reaching the final last year we know what we have to do. 

We have arranged our first school taster session for 2025, with seven girls from Isla Primary, and look forward to welcoming them along. 

P&K have confirmed their OOM (order of merit) points system and hopefully all eligible Strathmore players will support and participate.

Keegan’s Papa kindly donated a fantastic trolley to our hire scheme and it will be put into use asap.

Our Club Hire scheme has been busy with upgrades as has our Free golf shoe swap scheme. Let me know who needs what. 

PENINA TRAINING CAMP

Conan and Keir Reid head off to Penina Golf Resort, Portugal on Sunday for a week’s winter training camp run by the Junior Tour. This will set the boys up perfectly for the season ahead. We will meet up with them on their return to finalise their 2025 playing schedule which will certainly be a busy one.

ZIMBABWE UPDATE

Update from Zimbabwe. Vincent who was inspired by Trust has made it into the National Junior team to play in South Africa in February. This is amazing that 2 juniors from Chimanimani have been selected in the past 5 years. Unfortunately due the Covid pandemic Trust missed out, and was no longer a junior, when it was over. He now works on the course as a greenkeeper and coaches the youngsters from the village. Dawn and I was asked by Frances Fleming of Peza Trust if we could help Jane High by sending out some golf shoes and summer clothes which Strathmore Juniors Golf Section members had outgrown. Huge thanks to the section but especially Angus Palmer, Archie Pattullo, Kieran and Leighton Thomas who donated loads of shorts, T-shirts, golf shoes and Astro turf football boots which could be used for golf as well. 

It’s fantastic the difference these donations make to these youngsters who have nothing.
