Senior Pairs Open Income

 

Hi Committees (and Eric and Anne)

 

Another great year for your Club Fundraiser. Fantastic effort on Raffle Sales! Superb job Hilary, Gwen, Connie, Tracy, Cathy and Jane.

Great consistency with Registration being completed by the same 2 Ladies all day - Anne and Diane. Well done all the Ladies.

Eric – usual great job on Starting. Fred on Ranger and Car park, and Gavin and Graham are still hard at it on the scoring – difficult job! Only another 4 hours to go!

Ann and Ian with doing the scoring.

 

I hope I haven’t left anyone out!

 

Please put this on your Blog Sites and tell all of your Section members.

 

 

Historically, £16,326 has been raised for the club since 2015, where the first income was £671.50!

Ewen Duncan Funeral Arrangements

 Sad news received today about Ewen Duncan.

Ewen was a lovely lad who you would have seen at Strathmore either as a starter or in his buggy as a course ranger.

Funeral arrangements below to anyone who wishes to pay their respects.

 

Congratulations to the I&D Insurance Services winners Alison and Stewart McLaren who won on count back from Patsy and Mike Duffy with a fantastic score of 63.8. 

A great day was had by all and all couples still appeared to be speaking to each other after the Pinehurst format.

Sheena Scott won nearest the pin for the Ladies and Fred Barber won nearest the pin for the Gents

2025 PGA UK National Fourball Finals

 

Hi all

Hopefully you are already aware that the 2025 PGA UK National Fourball Finals are to be held at Strathmore – the first time in 26 years that the finals have been hosted in Scotland. This is a huge honour and accolade for everyone at Strathmore.
72 pairs of some of the United Kingdom’s best Professional Golfers will be fighting to be crowned the Fourball Champions. The Prize Pot stands at £35,000! There will definitely be some great golf being played over the 3-Day event.

PGA UK have asked if we could assist them in running the tournament by requesting help from our members during the days of Tuesday 19th, Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st August. The various tasks have been listed as Starting, Live Scoring, Main Scoreboard, On-Course Scoreboard, Ball-Spotting and Leaderboard Carrying (final day only).

It is possible the we may need the assistance of up to 15 volunteers a day, so any help on any day would be greatly appreciated. Without such help, the tournament will not run smoothly and efficiently.
Needless to say, volunteers will be well fed and watered, and will also receive from us a Restaurant & Bar Voucher as a token of our gratitude. I don’t know if PGA UK will be issuing any ‘goodies’ to the volunteers.

Before I start piecing together a precise timetable and allocating tasks, I first need to know the names of those who are able and willing to assist, and their availability. To that end, if you are able to assist, could I please ask that you let me know which days, mornings and afternoons, that you are available.

Link to PGA UK Tournament Information:
https://www.pga.info/about-the-pga/tournaments/pga-fourball-championship/

If you have any queries or would like to discuss any aspect of the tournament please, don’t hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards

David

 GENTS,

APOLOGIES, I HAVE MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE TANKARD DRAW.

I PUT ONE OF PAUL LOTHIAN'S SCORES DOWN AS A GROSS INSTEAD OF A NET WHICH MEANT HE HADN'T QUALIFIED.

PAUL NOTICED MY MISTAKE AND I HAVE CORRECTED IT NOW, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE DRAW.
