PERTH AND KINROSS COUNTY GOLF ASSOCIATION MEETING
Tonight I attended a Junior Convenors Meeting at Craigie Hill and can confirm the same County Events held in 2009 will continue for season 2010. Our lowest handicap players will be invited to represent the club in the Scratch League. The Junior Bell Trophy format will again exclude category 1 players, all other players with a full Congu handicap are eligible for selection. The Junior Foursomes (which we are the holders of the Scratch Trophy thanks to Rory Tinker and Grant Martin) will again take place so organise yourself a partner. Brad Bannerman, Michael Brodie, John and Josh McKenna have been awarded three P & K under 14 coaching sessions at Noahs Ark and the dates and times have been confirmed as Sunday 21st Feb, Sunday 7th March and Sunday 28th March (12.30-2.00pm).
I look forward to another year of success for Strathmore Juniors so start practicing now!

COULD THIS BE GRASS
A mysterious green coloured plant has been discovered by Jackie Moran growing under some melting snow and ice it would appear to be attached to the earths surface and Jackie thinks it could be converted into some sort of playing surface like the ones you can see on television from foreign countries like South Africa and Hawaii. Hopefully this is not a Dundee phenomenon and soon this recently extinct plant will resurface somewhere near Alyth. If anyone spots this please let us know.

Perth and Kinross County AGM and Prize Giving at Craigie Hill 26/11/09.
Brad Bannerman received the Under 14 Coaching Medal prize, Grant Martin and Rory Tinker received the Junior Foursomes prize and Allan Easton received a prize for being a member of the successful Perth and Kinross Gary Harvey winning team.
To cap a great night for Strathmore it was announced Allan Easton has been awarded a Scholarship at Gleneagles which gives him full use of all the Courses, full use of the Academy and the coaching facilities, free range balls and coaching from Gleneagles Professionals for 2010. Allan practices constantly and last winter was seen in all weathers hitting 100's of balls and spending hours on the putting green. His efforts have now not only been recognised at Strathmore but by the County Coaching Selectors.
Strathmore Juniors for 2010 have now been awarded 2 Scholarships and both Allan and Hannah merit these rewards for all the hard work they both put into their practice. We wish them both the best and know they will take full advantage of this fantastic opportunity to work on and improve their games.

CONGRATULATIONS EMILY
Junior member Emily Aird has been awarded a Personal Achievement Award for her golfing accomplishments this year. In particularly her participation in the US Kids Golf European Tournament at Gullane where she finished a very credible 6th and also for being invited to take part in the Teen World Championships in North Carolina.
The award ceremony was at the Perth concert Hall on Wednesday night where she had a photograph taken with Elizabeth Grant, Convenor of the Lifelong Learning Committee and John Fyffe the Executive Director for Education and Children's Services.
It fantastic for Emily to be recognised is this way and we are all very proud of her.
If you would like to see Emily being interviewed while she was in the US go to http://www.uskidsgolf.com/ and click on tournaments. A video screen comes up on the right hand side of the next screen. If you scroll down on the video list you should find one that is called Teen World Championship Day 1 Girls 2009 (it then tells you it is day 3 but just keep going). It's great.

WHAT A FINISH TO YOUR YEAR HANNAH!!
Hannah Robb has had the most fantastic golfing season. She has not only reduced her handicap by 17 full shots to 11 but won many junior and ladies events along the way. Hannah has not come by this extraordinary reduction without hours and hours of practice and dedication and this has not gone unnoticed by Perth and Kinross Ladies County Golf Association when, today, she has been awarded with the greatest county accolade a junior member can obtain, a scholarship at Gleneagles Golf Academy for 2010.
We are sure that Hannah will take full advantage of this fabulous opportunity and will follow in the footsteps of Annabel Niven, Roseanne Niven, Emily Ogilvy and of course +3 handicapper Carly Booth who have all gone on to represent Scotland.
Hannah is not the first member of our section to be granted scholarship, sisters Emily and Megan Aird have both also been awarded this accolade. We are all very proud of all these girls and their achievements.
Have a great year Hannah!!
