Golf
The golf section caters for golfers of all abilities-from beginners right through to low handicappers. We have a very full golfing programme for those who make it into the school team but we also cater for those who are not quite good enough for the side with a number of events at recognised golf courses. We have linked up with Auchterarder Golf Club to play all our home fixtures as well as a number of intra-school competitions.
The school has a 9 hole course on campus which gives pupils an opportunity to play on games afternoons and in their spare time. There is also a practice area where beginners and those wishing to improve, can work on their game under the watchful eyes of the teaching staff.
Strathallan has "produced" a number of fine golfers over the years, a number of whom play the game for a living. Notable amongst these are Iain Steel, William Guy and Grant Anderson of relatively recent vintage. In addition the school can also boast the record 8 time winner of the European Tours order of merit and Ryder Cup stalwart, Colin Montgomerie amongst its` former pupils.
The school team competes in the Perth and Kinross League as well as playing fixtures against most of Scotland`s boarding schools on an annual basis. In addition there is also the Scottish Wayfarers match, The Scottish Independent Schools Championship, Staff v Pupils and occasional games against the Old Strathalians, The Royal Perth Golfing Society plus various Club competitions to look forward to. We also have a 36 hole School Championship at Auchterarder, an 18 hole competition for the Pitlochry Cup and the Inter-House Competition all of which are played for on an annual basis. As a result we have played the following courses during the last few years: The Old Course at St Andrews: Blairgowrie`s Rosemount; Crieff; Pitlochry; Bruntsfield links; Kingsacre; Craigielaw; plus a number of others.
For the keen golfer there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy their golfing experience at Strathallan.
