On behalf of Strathmore Golf Club I would like to congratulate both Michael and Kirsty Brodie on their great results yesterday in the Highland Spring Scottish Junior Masters Competition at Gleneagles Queens Course.

For Kirsty to win the Girls Section and Michael to come second in the Boys Section is a great result, and a fitting reward for the hard work of the Competitors, Junior Convenor, Iain Bucthart and the Junior committee as well as the coaching staff here at Strathmore.

We as a Club are extremley proud of you all.
