WHAT A WAY TO GET RID OF THE MONDAY BLUES

Megan shoots 2 under and lies 2nd in the St Andrews Girls Open. Amy and Kirsten play at Muckhart in the County Girls and win the Scratch Drysdale Trophy and Handicap Dallas Trophy. Still waiting on Alex's final position.

WHAT A SUNDAY

At Gullane today in the Mackie Bowl Kirsty finished 5th on 1 under (10 birdies over 36 holes) and reduced her handicap to 1. Megan finished tied 22nd and Amy finished 1 shot behind in 24th position. Charlie McKay also achieved his fun handicap of 44 back at Strathmore.

WHAT A SATURDAY

Archie Pattullo achieved his 1st and 2nd Certificates in style with 4 and 6 shots to spare !!! What a tremendous score. He then presented Orley with his 2nd certificate before rushing of to be ring bearer at his uncles wedding. I'm sure he be telling everyone how he got on this morning

Kirsten wins the Junior Presidents Cup and keeps her side of the bargain as I told her she could only win it if she played below her handicap. She had 38 stableford points and reduced her handicap to 19.

Huge welcome to Ryan Prebish who became our 15 new member this year after attending the taster sessions.

I then went to support our scratch league team defend their undefeated record at Auchterarder and the team didn't disappoint. Alex halved his match, Kirsty won 8&6 - 4 under par through 12 and Megan won 4&3. Played 6 won 6. Looking forward to the semi final.

JUNIOR OPEN RESULTS

Strathmore Junior Open took place today, 55 played including 9 girls. Home players took the Scratch prizes with Kirsty shooting 70 and Alex 71. Megan took 3rd girls handicap and James 4th boys handicap u18. Players from as far away as Nairn and Bearsden took part.

WELL DONE GIRLS

Results from Nick Faldo Series. In the uU21's Kirsty moved up to 2nd place only 2 shots behind the eventual winner. Megan shot her 3rd round of 77 to secure 2nd place and Amy improved her score every day to finish 3rd. What a result individually and for Strathmore Juniors. As you can imagine it's been a long morning working and trying to keep an eye on live scoring. I am so proud of all 3 Girls and their achievements.

TUESDAY UPDATE

Another good day for the Strathmore girls at the Nick Faldo series taking place at the Dukes. Kirsty in the U21's lies 4th only 6 shots off the lead and 2 shots back from 2nd place. In the U16's Megan lies 2nd only 3 behind and Amy lies 4th only 3 shots off 3rd place. Past members are also taking part and are headed by Cormac Sharpe in the U16 who lies 3rd on +10. In the U21's Brad Bannerman +9 made the cut but Michael Brodie +14 missed it by 1. Blair's fun handicap on the wee Course has been calculated at 34 and he is the first to attain it this year, Charlie and Keegan will be next as they both now has 2 cards in. Took out Louis for 9 holes on Lietfie and he confidently attained his 1st Certificate with an easy 9 shots, very impressed and he is another with exceptional potential. 

BIG WEEK TEES OFF

Nick Faldo series teed off at the Dukes St Andrews today and this 54 hole event is one of the highlights of the season. Megan has taken a commanding 4 stroke lead in the under 16 Girls section and Amy lies tied 5th. Kirsty is tied 3rd in the under 21 section but unfortunately Alex had to retire due to ill health. What a great start for the girls. Back at Strathmore I took Rhys out for 9 holes on Leitfie and he achieved his 1st Certificate with ease.
