OUR WEE WONDERS

I was sure you would all be interested in the fantastic news the Junior Section had this weekend! Our youngest member Matthew Sime along with Junior Girl member Kirsti Brodie, made it into the finals of the Wee Wonders which was held on Saturday and Sunday at St. Andrews. They both played fantastic golf and Kirsty completed the weekend in 3rd postition in her section. Kirstie is the nicest wee girl and smiled her way round the course both days. A great credit to her family and Strathmore. Well done Kirsty.

But the most amazing news is that our wee Matthew who just recently turned 5, has been selected to represent GB&I in the Wee Wonders Tournament in America next year. The GB&I team take on America over the Pinehurst Course in North Carolina next July. What amazing news for a wee lad who only just played on a Golf Course for the very first time in April.

We in the junior section are so very proud of all our juniors and I thought you would all appreciate to be informed of this fantastic achievement. And to think when his mum asked him what he would like if he won the competition his reply was "Some more golf balls and a poke of chips!"

Well done Matthew you certainly are our wee star. I will post a photo tomorrow!
