SUMMER LEAGUE

Fantastic scoring today with Keegan Fergusson scoring 79 gross. Olly Stevenson had 43 stablemate points followed by Keir Reid on 42. Keegan finished 3rd with 41 and Ally Brass followed with 39. Think all will have handicap cuts and it was great to see them all having so much fun. 

QUICKEST MEMBER EVER

Turned up for Coaching tonight and was met by Stewart Mallin who wanted his daughter to join in the junior coaching and we had to explain to him it was for members only. Five minutes later she was. She joined the others and loved it. Her dad said he was going to buy her a set of clubs but after we explained the Club Hire scheme he quickly changed his mind and she is delighted with her new clubs and trolley. 

Coaching format was brilliant with concentration on short game and putting. Fantastic to welcome Emily Harbison back tonight and wow what potential. Kathryn immediately spotted something and asked if she was left handed ? Although using right handed clubs she was exceptional we are going to try her next week with a left handed set to compare. She is a Karate Internationalist so I’m not going to argue with anything she says. 

The youngster are having so much fun and the camaraderie developing is amazing. I have always said that our job was to get them to that competitive stage and tonight I overheard a conversation that confirmed the next generation is there. It’s so exciting to see this develop as I know where it can lead. 

Jessica Grewar picked up her prize from the Scottish Golf draw for competing in The Skills Challenge. 

NEW MEMBERS 16 and 17 for 2025 CONFIRMED

Delighted to announce that Matthew Nicolson and the returning Emily Harbison are our latest new members. The Strathmore pathway is becoming “the road” to go and I’m so delighted that other Clubs are seeking advice and following on. It’s simple, it works and there’s no reason why it can’t be replicated elsewhere. It takes commitment, support, effort and time to achieve. 

FANTASTIC SCORING IN 2nd QUALIFIER OF JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

Stuart Duncan led the Scratch score with an 81 and Keegan Fergusson with an impressive 86 finished second. The Handicap section saw Keegan’s nett 69 pipped by Olly Stevenson’s nett 68. Keir Reid finished 3rd with a nett 71. It’s great to see the commitment of all those who played tonight, they are forming really strong bonds and friendships. This is what makes golf such a special sport.

STRATHMORE HOSTS GOLFSIXES

Great fun today with six juniors from four clubs competing at Strathmore. We modified The Leitfie 9 hole course to 6 holes and would like to thank the centre for accommodating a “Shotgun start” The format is a pairs Texas Scramble and designed to give under 12’s with no handicap or handicaps of 37 and above the chance to compete. 

Blairgowrie 127, North Inch 123, Crieff 119 and Strathmore 112. 

Best pair score was 44 points from Andrew and Alistair representing the winning team. 

FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIER

Delay in yesterday’s results due to power cut at Centre and problem with HowDidIDo. Some good scores returned yesterday and it’s close at the top. Archie Pattullo leads the Scratch scores by 1 shot from Stuart Duncan with Jack Stevenson another shot behind. Cameron Galloway shares the lead in the handicap section with Archie Loudon with nett 71’s. Jack Stevenson returned a nett 72 and Keir Reid and Olly Stevenson are both just one shot further back. There were a few hard luck stories but quite a few will still  have handicaps cuts due to high scores on just one or two holes.
