ELLCGA CHAMPIONSHIP AND HANDICAP FINALS DAY
This morning at Musselburgh Golf Club the ELLCGA held the semi finals of the Scratch Championship and the Finals of the Handicap Quaich. It was a dull chilly morning but all the matches were well contested and were very close all finishing at the 18th hole.
Keren Ward played steady golf against Susan Penman. After a ding-dong battle Keren birdied the 14th to go 1 up but Susan came back at the next hole with a very good up and down from the bunker. They halved the 16th in par and Keren won the 17th with a par and halved on the 18th with Keren the victor 1 up. The second semi final was also a ding-dong match and Jane managed to win the 18th to win 1 up.
In the Handicap Quaich Anne Blundell had managed to be 1 or 2 up on the way out but Janette pulled her back so they were playing the 18th all square. Janette holed a good putt to win the hole and the Handicap Quaich.
The sun came out in the afternoon and Musselburgh Golf Course looked lovely bathed in sunlight. Keren took the first hole with a birdie and they halved the next 3 holes. Keren then won the long 5th with a par to go 2 up and they halved the next 2 holes. Keren unfortunately was in bunkers on the 8th and 9th so they were all square at the turn. Keren won the 10th with a par they halved the 11th and then Keren lost the 12th being in a bunker again. Jane had an excellent 4 at the 13th to go 1 up and a birdie at the 14th to go 2 up and a par at the 15th to go 3up. The 16th hole was halved so Jane became the 2016 ELLCGA champion winning 3 and 2.
Anne Blundell the lady Captain of Musselburgh presented the prizes in the clubhouse afterwards. Everyone who came along and supported the ladies enjoyed some excellent golf and all the matches were played in a friendly manner. ELLCGA are very grateful to Musselburgh for hosting our Spring Meeting and Championships. We were all made very welcome at the club and members were very kind allowing matches to play through. We were also very well looked after by the catering staff.
