We may have thought that the golfing season was over but the first weekend in October saw many of our members playing in either the Gibson Cup at the Braids or the East of Scotland Championship at Duddingston.
At Duddingston on Sunday, East Lothian members well represented at the East of Scotand Championship accounting for over half of the entrants. Scratch, Handicap and County prizes were up for grabs but it was not East Lothian's day.
Former Scottish champion Fiona Hastie (St Regulus) took the East of Scotland Championship title with a par 72, two under the CSS of 74. Lorna McKinlay (Dunnikier Park) (bih) and Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse)took 2nd and 3rd places with 74.
Rachael Livingstone (Craigmillar Park) (4) won the handicap with a net 71 and Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) (1) (bih) was runner up with a net 74.
Fife won the County Trophy by one stroke from Scottish champions Midlothian with a gross total of 223.
