FIRST BELL SALVER MATCH FOR STRATHMORE 2

Crieff were the hosts today and the weather was very kind to us. Angus led out the team and was giving Ethan 8 shots. He was all square through 14 but lost 15 & 16 giving shots on both holes, and he lost 2&1. Cammy who was out 3rd was always ahead and he took advantage of the 10 shots he was getting from Mark and won 5&3. Tom who was getting 3 shots was finding it tough against a very consistant Kieran and lost 5&4. Stuart had been 3 up but was pegged back to all square. On 14 he drove out of bounds but made 3 off his second ball with a fantastic approach to five feet and holing the putt for a five. Standing on the 17th all square he found the green and went 1up and secured a 2up win by finishing on the fringe of the 18th green with a 3 wood. A great start for Strathmore as Crieff is a difficult place to get a result but a draw was a fair result and all 4 players should be proud of how they played and represented the Club. Stuart also made a very impressive speech thanking Crieff for their hospitality.
