Today saw ELLCGA hold our Spring Meeting and Championships Qualifier at Luffness New Golf Club. Now officially affiliated to the SLGA, the Club very kindly allowed the use of their fabulous course and clubhouse for the above competition. This was a historical occasion as we were the first official womens stroke play medal competition to be held over the Par 70, SSS 73 measured course.
Although the course, facilities and catering were excellent the weather was not and 110 ladies braved and battled very strong winds (see flag photo below) and heavy rain to take advantage of the opportunity to play over Luffness.

Our thanks go to the secretary Tony Yeates and his assistant Fiona Verth, for all the help given during the process of organising the competition and on the day itself.
Thanks also to the Clubmaster Brian Denholm and his wife Julie and staff for looking after our members needs and providing fantastic fare.
Mention must also be made of the starter, Melville Hendry, who diligently set off all the ladies throughout the day from 7.30 am to 5.22 pm.
Last but by no means least, thanks to our Secretary who was on duty the entire day and to the ladies from the Committee who helped with registration and score returns throughout the day.
Without such help our competitions would not take place.
Finally, good luck to all those involved in the match play stages on Monday and Tuesday and hopefully the weather will be kinder to us!
