Winter Competitions

It is with regret, due to the extended closure of the course, that the Gents Committee has taken a decision to cancel the winter knockout competitions for this season. However, given the number of players that have already submitted cards for the winter league, the committee also decided to continue this competition, albeit with a smaller number of counting cards. Accordingly, given that the course should be open for play this weekend, the winter league resumes with effect from Sunday 27th February. We have also consulted with the greenkeepers and winter greens will remain in play for the next few weeks. This allows us to extend the winter season, for the purposes of the winter league only, until close of play on Saturday 19th March. Assuming that the course remains open for play from now on, this reduces the winter season to 7 weeks, therefore the winter league will be decided on the best 6 counting cards submitted.

Should play again be interrupted by the weather, the number of counting cards for the winter league will be one less that the number of full weeks that the course has been open and available for play.

Course Update

I have just spoken to David Norman and the centre will have 18 holes open tomorrow, almost certainly with summer greens in operation.
They have been pumping tens of thousands of gallons of water off the 11th Fairway which is now clear.
So a good golfing weekend in prospect.

Strathmore G.C versus Caird Park G.C. Mail on Sunday Classic 2011 2nd Round - 5th March

We require a team of five for this match. It is at home, all being well. There is a sign up sheet on the match board or alternatively phone me on 07778 003958 if you wish to play. This is open to all full members especially those who have swung a club in anger since November but there is a maximum handicap limit of 18.
Sorry Alan, Rory et al, over 18years old as of the 1st January 2011 on this one (competition rules).

Course Conditions

The Rannaleroch is still not playable all the way round but many holes are possible to play. With situation changing daily it is best to check with the Centre.

The Leitfie is Open....Rannaleroch is Closed

Spoke with David Norman this morning who reported the Leitfie is fully open for play today.
The main course has only four holes playable none of which are accesible so no play possible on the course today.

Mail on Sunday National Golf Classic 2011

Strathmore Golf Club have been drawn at Home versus Caird Park Golf Club in the second round of this competition with the tie to be played by the 7th March. At this stage a date has not been fixed but will be within the week. A sign up sheet shall be put up on the Match board shortly. Please remember this is open to all full members of the Gents section and we would like to encourage everybody to take part.

New Members Night Moved to 17th March at 7pm

We are absolutely delighted to welcome all the new members to the club and look forward to the new members night scheduled for March. Due to various outside commitments the welcome night shall now take place on the 17th March (not the 10th as per fixture book) with a 7pm kick off.

This is an informal chance to familiarise yourselves with all aspects, opportunities etc, at Strathmore Golf Club.

Course Conditions

Obviously the course has been closed yesterday and today, we will try to update you as best we can. The centre will let us know the situation moving towards the weekend.

More Holes Available To Play

There are now a few more holes open for play on the Rannaleroch. Playing now to winter greens are nine holes in a row, 10th to 17th and then up the 9th. Stunning winters day today.
Holes 2,3,4 and 8 are also playable but not very practical to get to and from, will keep you updated as best we can.
The Leitfie is entirely open and a good option too. So opportunities at last for some decent golf in this part of Perthshire.
