SCRATCH LEAGUE RESULTS

The Scratch League Team who represented Strathmore Golf Club were Team Captain Alexandra Bushby, Dawn Butchart, Sandy Bushby, Sheena Scott, Jane Taylor and Judy Goodfellow.

They all certainly did us proud in our maiden year of scratch league competition, they were among the three top teams of the leader board who had a final tally of 10 match points.

Unfortunately when it comes to teams having the same points it then goes back to games for and finally how many holes won by, where we were pipped by the eventual winners Craigie Hill and second place team Alyth who had more individual games won than us. However to have been to close to winning and being third out of the rest of the County Clubs is a fantastic result.

Congratulation to the all team and lets look forward to next year.
MERRY TROPHY RESULTS

Winter certainly seemed to have arrived yesterday at Strathmore Golf Club where woolly hats and thermals were the order of the day! The wind was extremely strong and very cold making playing conditions difficult however one lady played extremely well returning a score below handicap. Gillian Allardice notched 37 points and with the CSS raising to 73 was two under handicap. Well done Gillian. Next to Gillian was Dawn Butchart returning a score of 34 which also matched the best alternative day score of 34 by Mary West.

Full results are as follows

Alternative day CSS 72
Yesterday CSS 73

Gillian Allardice (25) 37
Dawn Butchart (6) 34
Mary West (21) 34
Chris Sturgis (24) 33

Gillian also reduced her handicap yesterday, Gillian was 25 now 24.0 playing 24.

Well done all!

PAST CAPTAINS DAY

The past Captains of Strathmore were all invited to Strathmore to play in the Annual Past Captains Day on Friday. Unfortunately two past captains were unable to attend, Jenny French and Anke. Anke was unable to attend as she has had a fall and hurt her shoulder, we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Past Captains Margaret Young, Dawn Butchart, Sandy Bushby, Wilma Nicoll, Joan Merry and Annette Grewar along with their guest present Captain Jane Taylor got together and had a lovely game followed by a suberb meal. Annette Grewar won the trophy with 37 stableford points. Well done Annette. It was especially nice to see Margaret play her very first full 18 holes.

Unfortunately I inadvertently deleted my photos, so could any other ladies who took some please EMail them to me to enable me to post them on the site.

    TWO STRATHMORE MEMBERS RECOGNISED AT NATIONAL LEVEL




    Strathmore club Champion Alexandra Bushby has been invited by the SLGA to take part in National B Squad coaching for 2007-2008. This is a fantastic achievement for Alex who has worked extremely hard on her golf over the last two years reducing her handicap from 4 to 1 this year alone. Alex has also represented Perth and Kinross at County level for the last two years and is the current County Champion. She also won the Perth and Kinross Champion of Champions last year.




    Junior member Megan Aird has also been invited by the SLGA to take part in the Girls Development squad for 2007-2008. Again this is a fantastic opportunity for Megan who has also worked very hard over the last year. Megan this year was the first girl to reach the Strathmore Junior Championship final, she also represented Perth and Kinross at the inter county championship at Balumbie and was selected by P&K for a scholarship at Gleneagles. Megan certainly took advantage of the scholarship and used the facility as often as possible.


    I am delighted for Strathmore but also P&K County who work tirelessly to promote our girls. It is very gratifying to see the efforts rewarded.


    Well done girls and take full advantage of all the opportunities that are available.

    LADIES VERSUS SENIOR GENTS

    Congratulations go to Peter Tinker and his Senior Gents for a very close win on Wednesday! Perhaps if I had got a trophy with a lady on it instead of a man we would have had more luck!

    Joking aside, this event really has gone from strength to strenght with more and more members taking part every year which is really what the day is about.....its the taking part that really counts!

    Well done Gents and look forward to next years event!
