TEMPORARY LOCAL RULE FROM SATURDAY 27th MARCH

Thursday Draw

 Hello Everyone,

Apologies for the lateness of this but there has been a few issues,

It seems that the tee times did not get blocked off for the seniors this week due to a miscommunication.

This was due to the unknown factor regarding 2 balls and 3 balls.

Anyway its a long story and Maybe I will regale you with it one day.

I see that a lot of you have booked tee times already, so that works out.

I have 2 slots at 10:15 and 10:30

10:15     Derek Gordon, Ian McLeod and Robert Greig

10:30     Ken Macleod, Steve Saunders and Hector Campbell

I will try to catch up with you all on Thursday.

Seniors First day Thursday 25th March

 Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the delay in this getting out been a little busy at things!!

The first Seniors day of the season is on Thursday the 25th of March.

We encourage you to sign up on line through HowdidIdo it is a fairly simple process to follow and you can sign up your mates on there as well.

If for the first month you are struggling with this please just send Mike a text on 07943 682573 to sign alternatively if you catch either of the Senior Convenors at the club. Mike Stiell or Brian Duncan just please let us know.

We do have a paper sign up for the first month as well, BUT we will be moving to an online sign starting May 1st.

We will all be around the first couple of weeks to dole out advice on how to do this, ( i had to get some as well but once you get it, its very simple)

If you have any questions then please dont hesitate to contact us.

Thank you

UPDATE FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON

 Hello Everyone, 

We hope that you are all well and have managed to get through the bad weather and everything else that is going on!!!!.

It is great to see that the golf course has come through the winter with flying colours and Kudos to Scott and his team for an amazing job, with some new drainage and even a new bunker to confound us.

As we are rapidly approaching the start of the golf season proper, we have some new info to tell you about.

1    You can sign up for all Senior competitions on HowdidIDo,  go to the Strathmore Golf site log in and follow the instructions and you can even sign up your mates as well.

2    The first official Seniors day is 25th March, we have opted to change this to a non-counting competition, and there will be an option for sweep and 2's available. 

3    We now have a new starters hut at the first Tee, and we will be using this as the sign up and draw area, until restrictions are lifted and we have access to the clubhouse again.

4    We will still be running a draw for the senior competitions and as usual the deadline will be Tuesdays at noon. Draw will be posted on the blog. We encourage you to sign up on-line but a paper facility will still be available for the first little while.   The anticipation for the first competition is that we have 2 balls for the out of area players in the first half hour. Then 3 balls available after that.  With the fervent hope that this will change into 3 ball all throughout very soon.

5    There will be knockout competitions this year and the formats will still be as they were previously.

6    We are still holding out a hope for the interclub competitions, but of course it will all depend on the lifting of restrictions and the availability of catering. We will keep you posted on these as more information comes into us.

On the 25th March, in the non competing competition: Gary, Brian and Mike will be around to answer questions at various points of the morning. Mike will gather the scores from each group at the end of the round.

Thank you all  STAY SAFE and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
