MESSAGE FROM A VERY PROUD GRANDAD

Pat Barron has sent you a link to a blog:

Fergus' Grandad is indeed very proud of him. So proud, he is trying to post something on a blog, from the middle of France. He has never done this before but Fergus' feat has inspired him! VERY WELL DONE FERGUS! 

   

ANOTHER EVENT ANOTHER TITLE

What can I say ! Michael Brodie and Calum Sinclair replicated inaugural winners Rory Tinker and Grant Martin success of 2009 by becoming joint scratch Coronation Foursomes Champions 2013.

The results so far this season have been incredible and bear testament to the investment the Centre commits to the Junior Section coaching and scholarships each year. I see our Juniors grow in confidence each week and over the years it is unbelievable how far we have come. It's so exciting to be associated with such great youngster and mark my words " you ain't seen nothing yet !!!!"   

Good luck to Michael Brodie who becomes the first Strathmore junior to represent the club at this level whilst still a junior and is joined by Rory Tinker in the Data Lab Scottish Youths Open Stroke Play Championship at Lanark. 10th - 12th May 2013.        

 

ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED TODAY

Fergus Barron today won the Leitfie Medal and what a score !!!! His dad had told me before he teed off that Fergus was nervous about playing in his first competition but you would never have guessed that having seen his brilliant up and down on the 1st after having to take a free drop from casual water on the path behind the green. A superb chip to within a foot and a simple tap in putt got his round of to the perfect start. Out in 49 he stormed back in 41 for a gross 90 nett 36 (an average nett score of 2 per hole - wow) With Louise Bloor returning a nett 52 and Marcus Ryan a nett 57 the scoring was excellent. I congratulated Fergus on his great score and had the pleasure of informing him his handicap had been reduced by a new Strathmore record of 19 shots from 54 to 35. Most of our current Juniors won't know this but Fergus's grandfather Pat was the person who decided to develop his farm land into Strathmore Golf Centre and when I went to see him about a membership he drove me round the fields to show me where the holes were going to go. I am sure Pat will be very proud when he hears how well his grandson has done. I did say in Monday's blog Fergus was keen to reduce his handicap but I didn't realise how keen !!!

Ranneleroch saw round 4 of the Summer League with Conor Hughes returning a nett 69 Alex Simpson a nett 71 and Kirsty Brodie a nett 74.

Saturday coaching welcomed 2 new additions Finlay McCoshim (who won the skills challenge) and Luke Sellen, great to see you both.           

REPORT FROM FRIDAY COACHING SESSIONS

A big welcome to Kain Miller one of our new recruits, with all the greats shots being played by all the juniors tonight I see some more amazing things happening this season.          

OUR BEST WISHES ARE SENT TO ANDREW SMITH FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY

New member Andrew Smith is in hospital with a kidney stone but still hopes to make coaching on Monday. With that determination I'm sure he will be back soon.   

MICHAEL TAKES THE HONOURS

With a birdie birdie finish Michael took the honours tonight and Alex is probably still kicking himself for leaving his first ever eagle putt short ! Great fun playing along side these very talented players.
