What a gorgeous day it was today as the juniors once again ventured out on to the Hermitage Golf Course for their monthly game of golf. Nine juniors turned up and birdies were the order of the day. In the handicap section, Julia Smith birdied the 5th while Emma Morrison birdied both the 3rd and the 5th. Not to be outdone, the non-handicap girls also threw in the odd birdie, with Kim Naysmith recording hers at the 1st and 7th, Caitlin Turner at the 7th and 10th and Ellie Ferguson at the 7th. Shot of the day, however, went to Emma Fairgrieve who holed from 40 yards for a 5 at the 7th sending up cheers which could be heard all around the course.
Well done to all the girls who played and thank you to Sharon Macpherson who kindly organised this month’s competition and to Noreen Fenton and Linda Caine who turned out to help.

1st: Julia Smith 57 less 24 – net 33
