I nominated 6 boys for P&K Winter coaching sessions and am delighted to announce all 6 will benefit. Michael, Brad, Tod and Alex will attend Gleneagles and Marcus and Cormac will attend Noahs Ark.
Congratulations to all 6. Being involved leads to representing the County and I am delighted that Strathmore have the joint top number of players selected.
I would like to remind everyone that next Saturday is the Junior AGM and prize giving proceeded by a 9 hole texas scramble on Leitfie at 12 noon. Names need to be entered on the entry sheet on the Junior board asap.

ANOTHER FINAL FOR STRATHMORE
I am delighted to announce that as Junior Convenor I had nominated both Strathmore Juniors Section and Kirsty Brodie and both have been selected as finalist in the Team and Individual Sport Achievement sections of the Perth and Kinross Spirit of Youth Awards 2012 which takes place at Perth Concert Hall at 7pm on Friday 23rd of November.
Over the last 4 years the Section has produced 2 Ladies and 1 Gents Strathmore Club Champions, 2 under 14 Coaching Medal Winners, Glenalmond College James Braid Trophy winners 2009 and 2010, a male Junior County Junior Stroke Play Champion and a County Match Play Champion, We have had 11 players capped at County level, an Under 12 Loretto Scottish School Boys Scratch Champion and a double girl Highland Springs Junior Masters winner and a boy runner up. This years team achievements of P&K Scratch League Champions (after being finalist last year) and runners up in the Bell Trophy are amazing as we have only been competing for 4 years. We have 5 players selected for the Scottish Development Centres and a player already in the Scottish Academy. Both the Gents and Ladies Sections have benefited by having played Juniors in their Scratch League Teams over the last 4 years, a credit to how well our Juniors have progressed. 3 of our Juniors are currently attending Elmwood College in Golf related Courses and part is down to the encouragement shown at Strathmore.
Kirsty Brodie created her own piece of golfing history at Gleneagles this year by winning The Highland Spring Junior Masters title for a record breaking 2nd time becoming the first player girl or boy ever to do so. This Event which is Scotlands largest for young golfers is run by the SGU and SLGA and is open to players aged under 16. Kirsty is currently receiving Scottish Academy coaching after being nominated as an 11 year old. She won the Strathmore Ladies Club Championship 2012, becoming the youngest ever and played for both the Ladies and the Junior Scratch League teams. A remakable season for a very talented 12 year old.

FUN FUN FUN
Brilliant fun today - 6 enthusiastic juniors practised their putting before I picked the 2 teams to play a 9 hole Texas Scramble on Leitfie. Amy Mitchell declared she knew how the teams had been selected and with a quizzical look I asked why? to which her reply was "shoes" and right enough all 3 were wearing identical pairs. The rules were that each team member had to use 2 tee shots. Amy Mitchell , Cormac Sharpe and Jude Archibald shot an amazing 3-4-3-5-3-5-4-4-3 = 34 !! Megan Thom , Luke Archibald and Michael Davie scored a respectable 43. Amy will have to stop using driver on the 1st and 9th after being through the green on both and landing on the wrong 9th, great strike but a bit big.
In the afternoon it was decided to play a Texas Scramble on Rannaleroch. Teams were drawn from a hat (tammy) and the rules were 4 tee shots to be used for each player. Tod Bannerman , Peter Mattner and myself scored 4-3-4-3-4-2-4-5-5 = 34 4-3-6-2-4-4-4-3-4 = 34 total 68 . 4 under par = 7 birdies + 3 bogeys. Alex Simpson , Callum Ewan and Marcus Ryan retured a respectable 74.
It was really good to see so many out on the course and with Michael Brodie and Brad Bannerman playing in the Gents 4 Club event the Juniors were well represented today.
Alexei Butchart had a 3rd place in the under 10 section in Moscow to finish off his season and we look forward to seeing him next year.
