First up huge thank you to Lesley and Graham Haynes who for the second time have donated a selection of equipment to our Club Hire Scheme. Two Callaway trolley bags, Benross VX05 irons 5- SW, Adam a12 os 4- SW, 3 Wood. Also 2 Callaway drivers, X Hot 11.5 and Hyper X 11. All clubs have regular graphite shafts so ideal for older boys and girls. I am always grateful for the generosity of Strathmore members and others who know about our scheme and it makes it possible for us to cater for youths in our section and keeps golf affordable, and making sure they are still playing with appropriate equipment. Next up was Summer League on Rannaleroch and Callan Mackie getting his third card in for handicap. I went out with him and Archie Louden and had so much fun and a lot of laughs. Archie played a shot on the second hole which was reminiscent of a top professional. From 20yds short of the green to a back pin position, he hit a 60 degree wedge which on the second bounce had so much spin, only momentum allowed it to dribble down to the hole, leaving a tap in par. Impressive for an 11 year old. Callan had his first par on the 10th and I believe he has a bright future. Both boys never stopped chatting all the way round but I did have to remind them on a couple of occasions that I was about to play my shot so it was time to be quiet. A learning curve and teaching etiquette so all good. Keir Reid led the field today with Keegan Fergusson taking second place. Finally last night myself and past Junior Scratch Champion and Captain Allan Easton played our way into the Gents Foursomes Final with a 5&4 win. The success of the Juniors has maybe inspired us !
