JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP FINALThe Strathmore Junior Championship took place on Sunday afternoon and I was very pleased to referee what was an excellent match played by two very talented, polite and courteous young people. The finalist were defending champion Allan Easton and for the very first time a junior girl, Megan Aird.
The winner on the day was Allan who played some tremendous golf and finished in style with a 3 on the 14th. Allan was only 1 over par. Megan also played beautifully with 2 excellent birdies on 3 and 10 and her play off the tee was superb.
Both players conducted themselves in manner they should both be very proud of. There was no displays of bad temper or sulks! and even after losing a ball Megan walked back to the tee quite happily. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon in their company.
Our congratulations go to the winner Allan Easton but Strathmore Golf Club should be very proud of our two finalist and also a special mention should go to their fellow junior members Matthew Bell, Alistair Gilmour and Grant Martin who took time out to walk round and support the finalists not only yesterday but last Sunday for the Gents Tankard final. We really have a great bunch of juniors who really deserve all our support. Well done to them all.
Also thanks go to Lady Captain Jane Taylor who came along to support the finalist and for making a very encouraging speech to the finalists. Unfortunatley due to bad weather the change of dates meant Gents Captain Jack Scott and President Peter Tinker were unable to attend as they are both away on holiday. Thanks also go the the caddies.
