Happy New Year 2024

 

Thursday 28th December Senior Winter Stableford cancelled

Due to only the front 9 holes being playable over winter greens, with no buggies, I have cancelled todays competition. No play on the back nine at all. More heavy rain forecast.

Sorry Seniors.

Senior Gents Winter Stableford Draw for Thursday 28th December 2023

Anticipating some late entrants, so have included spare spaces at end of draw. If not taken up, will then form threeballs.

Merry Xmas

The Strathmore Gents Committee and Captain Mike Stiell wish all Seniors the very best for Xmas and New Year. 

Look forward to seeing all the new golf gear presents on show in 2024. Cheers.

Played in a mixture of sunshine with a light shower and a stiff gusty breeze, 22 Seniors played out of the 28 that had booked.

Having made up the money envelopes before I left the Centre today, I came home to check all the cards and found that 6 or 7 Seniors had incorrectly entered their scores on the terminal. I will therefore need to recall some envelopes next Thursday and pay the correct winners.
