STRATHMORE GOLF CLUB APPAREL – ORDER NOW! DEADLINE MONDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 2026 (Subsidised by the Gents’ Section)

 

Dear Member,

Over recent months a number of members have said they would be interested in club apparel, and the committee has been looking into this. We are pleased to tell you that a range of golfwear embroidered with the club logo is now available to order. It is ideal for wearing when representing the club at events or matches, or simply for flying the Strathmore flag wherever you play.

We looked at a number of suppliers and chose the one that offered the best value for money while still giving members high-quality products. The range has three items (see attached image):

• Polo shirt
• Mid-layer (quarter zip)
• Jacket

With the festive season approaching, any of these items would also make an ideal Christmas gift.  We cannot guarantee a delivery date until the order has been placed with the supplier. However, we will place the order as soon as possible after the closing date so the items reach members as quickly as we can manage.

Gents' Section Subsidy
In recent years our fundraising events have been very successful, and local companies have generously sponsored the annual Mixed-Pairs Scramble. As a result, the Gents' Section has surplus funds available to be utilised. The committee proposes to use these funds for the benefit of all members by subsidising the cost of these items.

All members who order embroidered items will receive a subsidy from Gents' Section funds. The committee will set the level of the subsidy once all orders are in and the final numbers are known, and members will be told the amount after that decision is made.

---

How to Order
The order form is online and can be found at the link below. Please complete it by close of play on MONDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 2026.

If you have any questions, please contact iaincoupar22@gmail.com.

Please note that because of how the items are being bought from the supplier, placing an order commits you to the purchase. No payment is needed when you order. Payment details will follow in due course and will be sent to those who are buying any items.

We hope many of you will take up this offer and help show off the club.

Kind regards,

Gents' Section Committee
Strathmore Golf Club
