Sad Losses

 

On our 30th anniversary year we would like to recognise Andy Redden the first Captain 1996 and Brian Crole Captain 1997, we sadly lost both in 2025. Both members were instrumental in setting up Strathmore Golf Club as we know it today.

From President Fred.

Andrew Redden

 

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Andrew Redden in October, a former Gents Captain and President.

 

In the early years of the Club, Andrew dedicated many years of service to the Club helping build the reputation along with supporting the Club with the donation of the George Black Memorial Trophy in memory of his father in law. Andrew was the first Gents Captain of the Club in 1996 and also served as President in 2005-2006.

 

On behalf of all members past and present, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Andrew’s family, friends, and loved ones.
