FINALS DAY AT STRATHMORE


A fantastic turn out for Saturday's finals day. With more than 50 people attending and enjoying a fantastic display of golf and an excellent buffet.


Alexandra Bushby was the winner of the Ladies Club Championship. Alexandra met Dawn Butchart in the final for the 7th consecutive year. The golf was of a high standard played in a manner in which they should both be proud. Alexandra has reached a very high standard of golf and has had a fantastic season to date, she has not only won this championship but also Blairgowrie and P&K County Championships. Thanks also go to caddies Sandy Bushby and Annette Grewar.


Chris Sturgis was the winner of the Handicap Rosebowl championship. Chris played Sally Fenner in the final and it was a very close match. The ladies were caddied enthusiatically by Rhona McGeoghegan and Jenny Groom. (see photos!!)



The Gents Club Championship was won by Iain Butchart. Iain played junior member Alan Easton, both players making their debut in the championship final. The standard of golf again was very high and was enjoyed by al who watched. The caddies were Alana Butchart and Stuart Ferguson.

During the first round of the championships, 35 members took part in a Texas Scramble over 12 holes which was organised by Marion Robertson. This was great fun and a super way for members to get together before supporting the finalists in their 2nd round of the day. The Texas scramble was won by Brian McGowan, Morag Woodcraft, Heather Dawson and Russell Peacock.

Following prizegiving, our chef Lindsay produced the most wonderful buffet which was enjoyed by over 40 members.

On behalf of all the finalists a huge thank you to all the members who took the time to come along and support us and also the Ladies and Gents Committee for organising the day so beautifully. Also thanks to the green keepers who manged to keep the course open for us and ofcourse centre manager David Norman, chef Lindsay and all the centre staff for looking after all so well.
