ANOTHER NEW HANDICAP

LEITFIE WINTER LEAGUE OFF TO FLIER
Forbes Cowan and Hunter McQueen both scored gross 45’s, very consistent scoring with nothing worse than a 6. Forbes net score was 23 and a 2 shot reduction to his fun handicap. Dawn was very impressed by his length off the tee for an 8 year old.

TEAM DID THEMSELVES PROUD

PRACTICE DAY
Scottish National Final, Junior Team Golf Home Nations Inter-Club Championship. 5 of the team travelled down today and I’m sure Keir will update Conan on how to play the course. Stirling Golf Club is the venue and it offers a fair test. Fair bit of elevations so club selection will be very important. Angus and Stuart quickly realised the line on the first wasn’t over the trees but were quick to work out the lines after that. Dawn went round with Archie, Louis and Keir and was very impressed. Archie had a fantastic back 9, Louis had a fantastic round up to 15, when his late night yesterday caught up with him, so early night for him and he will be brilliant tomorrow. Keir will take a lot from today and knows what his improvement areas are. His bunker play was exceptional but he needs to concentrate on every up hill shot and take more club. Great time was had by all and the team are buzzing about tomorrow.

WHAT A SUNDAY FOR STRATHMORE
Where do I start ? Early morning trip to Mortonhall Golf Club for the Junior Team Golf, Home Nations Inter-Club Championship semi-final. Stuart Duncan, Archie Pattullo, Louis Purdie, Alasdair Brass, Keir Reid and Andrew Watt represented Strathmore again having won the quarter-final last week at Braehead. Turnhouse, Royal Burgess, Braehead and Crieff were the other clubs competing today and what a test for all the teams. Difficult course in beautiful condition, lots of undulations and hills. Well bunkered and the cold and windy conditions didn’t make it any easier. Our boys struggled at times on some of the holes but they all dug deep and kept going. We had no idea how the other teams were doing, and with one gross score and 4 nett scores counting no one knows until all the scores are in. We didn’t hold out much hope but to our surprise and delight we qualified !!
The final takes place at Stirling on the weekend of 5th & 6th of October and for Strathmore Juniors it will be our first team national final. These players have made history.
To top off an already special day we had seven Strathmore players representing their Schools in the Alfred Dunhill event at the Buddon Course, Carnoustie. Cameron Galloway won the boys handicap S4-S6 with a net 63 (-5), Jessica Sievwright won the girls handicap S1-S3 with a net 63 (-5) with Saoirse Sangerman 3rd with a net 67 (-1)
Overall a highly successful day. As we’ve been on the go for over 12 hours, more photos and details will follow tomorrow.
