THE OTHER FOUR CARDS RECEIVED AND LOADS MORE SUCCESSES

First up Rory Murray, 2nd Certificate achieved and Fun Handicap of 42 (21 over 9 holes) next up John Gillan, 1st and 2nd Certificates achieved and Fun Handicap of 48 (24 over 9 holes). Mia Baxter also achieved her 2nd Certificate and a Fun Handicap of 54 (27 over 9 holes). Last up was Hugo Lynch and because everyone wanted to play from the full tees he did as well. Bit of a tall order but I was very impressed by his short game and putting. I went down this afternoon to watch the back nine of the Barrie Douglas Masters, met Angus Palmer and we had a chat about his play over the three days. Unfortunately both he and Archie Pattullo didn’t have their best rounds but I’m sure both will take the positives from the experience and move on. Before I left I spotted Hugo on the 9th green on Leitfie which I was delighted to see. I went over for a chat and asked him if he had played Route 36 ? He hadn’t but had played from the full tees again. His score was good apart from 2 holes so I also had a chat with his mum regarding how Route 36 works and I’m sure he will progress very quickly and have more fun in achieving par score playing on the shortened course. What the most impressive thing was him getting out again and determined to get better. Total respect.
