BELL SALVER RESULT

Played our first League match tonight v Auchterarder and what a fantastic start in our attempt to retain the trophy we won last year. Archie Pattullo, coming off the back of making the cut in the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Trophy at Alyth, and completing the final 36 holes yesterday. He shot 76, 76, 74 and 77 and in doing so reduced his handicap to 4.1. Tonight he won 3&2 and was 2 under par gross through 16, and it could have been better !! His ball striking has improved so much during the winter and his commitment is paying off. Tom Stevenson playing out 3rd secured another 3&2 win. Olly Stevenson playing out 4th was 4 up through 4 and his fantastic short game kept him ahead and he finished it off on 14 with a 5&4 win securing our overall win. Big brother Jack Stevenson’s game went up the last where he holed a ten footer for the clean sweep. 4 v 0 couldn’t be a better start. We wish Auchterarder every success in their next matches. They played well especially Alfie who unfortunately came up against an in form Archie. Matches were played in the best of spirits with good shots from all players being appreciated. 

WHAT A SATURDAY

Where do I start. Played with Keegan Fergusson today and what a transformation, his ball striking has improved so much and his overall play was very impressive. He had a bit of bad luck and just a couple of mistakes but overall his win today was richly deserved. Along the road at Alyth GC, vice Captain Archie Pattullo, playing in the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Trophy made the cut for tomorrow’s final 36 holes. Unfortunately another Strathmore member Angus Palmer missed the cut. Back on Leitfie Jack Short achieved his first Fun Handicap of 26 (13 over 9 holes) and had his first par, along with his sister they will be having a trial on Rannaleroch to see if they are ready to upgrade. P&K Ladies held their Scratch Championship quarter finals today with 3 ex Strathmore Juniors making the semi finals. 

GARY HARVEY SUCCESS

Keegan Fergusson and Angus Palmer were part of the team who won the Gary Harvey at Craigiehill. 

Hamish McTavish Cup

Our first trophy of the year and wow what a result for Cameron Galloway. A gross 79 nett 64. His winning margin was 8 shots. So pleased for him. Had a chat with Keir Reid before his round and he told me he was struggling a bit with his iron play. Got him to set up to play a shot and spotted it straight away. Quick fix and he was good to go and shot his best score this year.

I took out Olly and Finn Whelan for their first card for handicap. They’d never played from the White tees before so it was a test. Both boys played well and learned a lot. Great to have another two players keen to get their handicaps and play competitively.

NEW MEMBERS HIT DOUBLE FIGURES FOR 2026

Great to welcome Cameron Robertson and Rory Murray as new members 9 & 10 for 2026. We arrived back from Australia on Saturday night and it’s been non stop ever since. 2 Club Hire fittings are scheduled this week and a fun event for new members is scheduled for Thursday night. Great also to have 3 upgrades from  Leitfie our 9 hole course to Rannaleroch our 18 hole course.
