Allan Easton Makes His Mark

Allan Easton made a bit of history today by being the first member of Strathmore Golf Club to represent Perth and Kinross Gents in singles matchplay as he played in the tie versus Clackmannanshire in the Provan Salver at Strathmore today.
He impressed everyone today as he took on one of Clackmannanshire's best, Michael Robertson beating him 5&4 as Perth and Kinross drew the match 4-4.
Anyone who has been at the club in recent weeks will have seen the hours and hours of practice that Allan is putting in. It is good to see him beginning to get the rewards for this dedication and there is surely more to come this season for him. Well done Allan and lets hope that others can follow you into P&K reckoning.
