ALEX SIMPSON

Scottish Internationalist, PGA Professional and past Junior Captain Alex Simpson, who is back from Australia visiting his family, took time out yesterday to come along to Strathmore to do 2 coaching sessions and a masterclass in on course management. Alex worked with the 10 who attended and used his experience to help them all. It was fantastic for everyone to listen and learn from from him and Keir Reid will take so much from his individual masterclass. 

I can’t thank Alex enough for giving up his valuable time. He never forgets his roots and appreciates the support he received as a junior and has come back numerous times to pass on his knowledge and help Strathmore players achieve their dreams. 

JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER

Keir Reid shot a very impressive 88 nett 68 to win by 3 shots from the very consistent Louis Purdie who shot a gross 80 nett 71. 

KING JAMES V1 JUNIOR OPEN

Another great result for Archie Puttullo who finished 3rd Scratch just one shot behind the winner. Valuable points gained again in the Gleneagles Scholarship race. Louis Purdie finished 7th. In the handicap event Archie again featured with a 7th place and Archie Loudon finished 10th. Great to see Strathmore Juniors featuring again. 

STRATHMORE 1 QUALIFY FOR THE SEMI FINALS OF THE BELL SALVER

After beating Blairgowrie GC 3.5/0.5 at home and drawing 2/2 with Muckhart GC away, the young team headed to North Inch GC today for their third match. Keegan Fergusson found himself 4 down but fought back to win on the 17th. Keir Reid was dormie 3 down but took it to 18th where unfortunately lost out. Archie Loudon won 4&3 and Struan Shepherd, playing match play for the first time, won 5&4. What a fantastic result. They have 7 points which secures their place in the semi finals and still have to play Auchterarder GC at Strathmore to see who tops the group. 

These youngsters are improving so much and their confidence is sky high. Playing the internal club match play league has taught them how to never give up and anything can happen in this format. 

So proud of all the players in the squad.
