CAPTAINS DRIVE IN

Saturday saw the official opening of Strathmore Golf Club for the 2006 season. 64 members turned out to see out Captains Annette Grewar and Jack Scott hit the first official drives of the season. Under extreme pressure they performed well and both hit drives up the fairway.


Annette and Jack on the Tee!

As always We each bought a flag and placed it where we thought Annette and Jack would land.


Jack tees off Knocking knees doesn't stop Annette hitting a great shot.

A Great Day was had by all and monies were raised for charity. Although the Captains started the day on a good note unfortunately they did not go on to win Pat's Putter. This was won for the first time since 1996 by the Vice Captains Team led by Jane Taylor and Lewis Duncan.

Lewis Duncan (Vice) Jane Taylor (Vice)
Annette Grewar and Jack Scott (Captains)

This was a great start to the season albeit we did suffer from heavy rain and hail storms. Everyone enjoyed the day and showed our support to our Captains.

Pete Tinker certainly put the icing on the cake when he aced his shot on the 13th. This was Pete's first ever hole in one. Pete celebrated his achievement by providing all with a welcolme drink. (Expensive day for a hole in one!!) Well done Pete.

We all now look forward to a super season. Well done Annette for a great start.

RHONA AND JANE PROGRESS TO THE SECOND ROUND

Huge congratulations go to Strathmore Ladies representatives, Jane Taylor and Rhona McGeoghegan, in The Daily Mail Foursome's national event. Jane and Rhona played against Blairgowrie pair Muriel Rae and Jean Laburn over the Rosemount course. Jane and Rhona received 3 shots and were panicking when they were 2 down after 2 however they kept their nerve and won the match 2 & 1. The end result was definitely worth getting soaked for!!

Well done and look forward to hearing how you both do in the next round
.
LEITFIE LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP

Saturday saw the final round of our annual Championship on the 9 hole course. The winner of the Handicap section was Gillian Allardice who pipped first round leader Chris Sturgis by one shot.

This is also the second time Alexandra has lifted the Scratch section of this event. Alex has also had a very successful season, she also won the singles knockout.

Well done both.

FIRST ROUND LEITFIE CHAMPIONSHIP

On a lovely spring day we played our first round of the Leiftie Links Championship. Chris Sturgis played an absolute storm and posted a net 52!! A fantastic score but then not far behind her is Gillian Allardice with a net 54. In the scratch section Dawn Butchart scored a 70 with Alexandra Bushby and Sheena Scott on 72. So all to play for this weekend. Here's hoping the weather is as kind!

The draw is the same for this week with the exception of one player Chris Tinker who will tee off at 12.15 this week.
WINTER SINGLES FINAL

The final of the winter singles took place on Saturday between Alexandra Bushby and Chris Sturgis. Alexandra was on form and won the match at the 15th. This is the first time Alexandra has won the trophy and she certainly deserved the win. This is also the first year for Alexandra as a Perth and Kinross County Squad member and we look forward to more successes in the coming year. Commiserations go to Chris, but it is a great achievement to reach any final so well done to them both.

WINTER DOUBLES KNOCKOUT

The final of the winter doubles knockout between Gillian Allardice and Hiroko Graham versus Joan Merry and Sheena Peacock took place on Thursday and our congratulations go to the winners Gillian and Hiroko. Gillian and Hiroko have partnered each other over the last few years and are delighted to have lifted the trophy for the first time. Commiserations go to Sheena and Joan. Sheena and Joan have partnered each other for sometime now and are no strangers to the winter knockout finals. They have won this event on more than one occasion and prove along with Hiroko and Gillian to be among the strongest partnerships of the section.

The final was extremely close with Hiroko and Gillian 2 up at the turn Joan and Sheena fought back to all square by winning the 10th and 11th. But this did not deter Hiroko and Gillian who went on to win the 13th 14th and 16th to clinch the match 3 & 2. Well done to both for what was an excellent match.
MAIL ON SUNDAY 2ND ROUND RESULTS

Annette Grewar, Dawn Butchart, Sheena Scott, Sandy Bushby and Alexandra Bushby played the 2nd round tie at Craigie Hill in very cold and wet conditions. Sandy and Dawn both won their matches however the strong Craigie Hill team won the other three matches which will take them through to the next stages of the competition.

Although the team was disappointed all members representing Strathmore did us proud and played golf in the true spirit of the game.

For our very first year in this event we have done very well and I would like to thank all who took part and now look forward to our next attempt!
