    The Stenhousemuuir website has announced the list of players leaving the club - CLICK

    What Bomber sees in Marenghi I do not know. There's obviously some talent there but he's useless without the ball and when you're defending you might as well be playing with a man down.

    We could have told you that. Plenty of skill. However energy levels zilch. Used to always get caught in possession because he was so slow.

    I've not played competitive golf ie been a member of a course for about 13 years. Just rely on the odd comp or pay on now. I'm 37 now and started playing when I was about 5 or 6 at Stranraer(Creachmore) and Portpatrick(dunskey) with the old pencil bag and some cut down clubs. Lol! When I got about to the age of 9 or 10 me and mates were never away from the course during the school hols. we even used to play golf at local park in stranraer. Whole groups of youngsters. A few greenhouses were smashed in those days!!! I used to have an excellent short game. Practiced loads. pitch and run with a seven iron.

    Lessons eventually arrived through Golf World at Dunskey and Bill Lockie (barrassie tartan tour pro) who came down to stranraer to coach a few of us who were showing signs of promise. Got down to handicap of 5 when I was 16-17 years old at Stranraer. Best score 72 round Stranraer and 69 round Dunskey. Got selected to play in the scottish boys matchplay at West kilbride. Leading upto the event I was striking the ball brilliantly shooting under par for 9 holes regularly round stranraer however I lost in the first round tamely 2&1 to guy from ratho near edinburgh. Very disappointed didn't play well at all.!!!

    Last handicap I had was about 7.3 I think. never played enough and therefore handicap rose. i know if i had stuck at it when i was young i would probably have made lower than 5. regret it now. I have all the gear now ready to take it up again. However the costs are alarming.

    One wee tip I got from Bill Lockie is G.A.S.P. that is Grip, Aim, Stance, Posture. Do these when your setting up to a ball and you'll have a start. Also when you go to driving range. Don't start hitting driver or long irons first. Start with your wedges to loosen off and get the feel and timing.
