All 3 Strathmore boys improved their scores on day 2. Keir shot the 4th best score of the day 55, an improvement of 11 shots, and moved up to tied 15th. Archie, who is playing in the under 10 section improved his first round score by 3 with an impressive 58 including 4 pars. Remembering his WHS handicap is 37.2 this has been 2 fantastic steady rounds of golf. He currently sits tied 11th in the under 12’s and 4th in the under 10’s only 1 shot behind tied 2nd and only 6 shots off the lead. Keegan also improved his score by 1 shot, helped by an eagle on the 11th hole. He currently sits 7th.
I am so pleased for all 3 boys. When I saw this event was on I thought it would be a good experience for them all. They certainly have learned a lot from this and with the final round tomorrow I can’t wait to see how they get on.
On day one Keir unfortunately got stuck in 2 bunkers and lost 7 shots and tried to play over trees instead of playing safe. He said he was going to make wiser and safer choices today and his score certainly reflects this. It’s a huge learning curve for these young boys but they will learn from their mistakes and become better players.
The starter today was current Scottish Amateur Champion Cameron Adam and he is pictured with the boys below.
