Hello Everybody

Hello Everybody,
I just wanted to post a note to see how everyone is doing, I hope that you are all safe and managing to wend your way through self isolation.
In order for us all to stay in touch (if we so desire )and possibly to share a few fun stories off how we are all combatting the boredom).
We on the committee are hoping that you and your families are doing well, and hope that it will not be too, too long before we are back aiming for a course record.
If you wish to share a story with us or just to stay in touch please remember that we have a dedicated e-mail for the gents section
it is   strathmoregents@googlemail.com

So please drop us a line and stay in touch share a story of how you are doing and I will keep the blog updated with any new or interesting information that I come across.

I know that our Captain has taken it upon himself to walk to all the places he cannot play golf (and stare longingly at them for about half an hour).
I have dusted off my bike and am teetering my way around and about Perth, sometimes with a police escort!!!!! (not sure what that's about).
Oh and you know the saying its like riding a bike, WELL let me tell you when you haven't done it in years it most certainly is NOT.

So hope you are all well and please drop me a line and lets all stay in touch.

The Committee
