Unique Club Hire Scheme, Strathmore Golf Club

Scottish Golf have adopted and launched Strathmore Golf Club Iain Butchart’s Hire Scheme today. 

Iain said “Last year we had 59 sets out on Hire to a membership of 78 juniors.”

“We took in 28 new Junior members last year and 30 the year before. “

Growing Golf membership can be achieved and it starts with Juniors. 

Last year we also took in 13 adult members by running family Taster Sessions and our weekly Family Fun Events are becoming more popular all the time.

STRATHMORE GIRLS MAKE HISTORY

Junior Captains Megan Ashley and Amy Mitchell

From Iain Butchart - Junior Convenor, Strathmore Golf Club.

Testament to how far our girls have progressed. Strathmore Gents were struggling to field a Scratch League team and Gents Captain Norman Dyce suggested to the Perth and Kinross Executive that if Strathmore were to include Ladies or Girls then they could field a team. 

Being one of the most forward thinking Counties in Scotland this was agreed and as Junior Convenor I am personally delighted as I was instrumental in having Girls included in the Junior Scratch League 11 years ago and this year will field the first ever all Girl Junior Scratch League team and will have 2 in the Gents Team and 3 in the Ladies Team. 

This is unprecedented and probably does more to enhance the amalgamation currently going on within Golf. 

We have also recently started running Family Competitions within our Junior Section so that parents and grandparents can join in and these are gaining in popularity so if you want to grow golf make it inclusive. Strathmore and P&K are leaders not followers.
