MIDLOTHIAN JUNIORS TRIUMPH AT CUTHBERTSON CUP AT CRAIGIELAW

On Sunday 17th April the four East of Scotland County Juniors Teams competed for the Cuthbertson Cup on a very blustery day at Craigielaw Golf club. In the morning Midlothian played Fife and Stirling and Clackmannan played East Lothian. The girls all played well in very difficult conditions. The Craigielaw greens are a challenge at the best of times but with the windy conditions this increased the difficulty and the wind chill did not help either.

Midlothian beat Fife in the morning 2.5-1.5 and Stirling & Clackmannan beat East Lothian 2.5- 1.5.

In the afternoon Midlothian beat Stirling & Clackmannan in the singles 4-0 to win the Cuthbertson Cup. Fife and East Lothian playing foursomes halved both their matches. Well done to Midlothian for winning the Cuthbertson Cup. All the matches were played in a lovely manner and I think all the Counties can be very proud of their respective teams in the standard of golf and their decorum on the course.

The last County event of the year has now been completed.

After a battle round Dunbar on Sunday 4th October Sophie Bain beat Shannon Young on the 19th. A good game and both girls enjoyed it and the weather.

Congratulations to Sophie on her win and Shannon on reaching the final and making Sophie work hard for the Connachan Quaich.

Junior Autumn Meeting

While others watched the alternative sporting attractions of the Solheim and Davis Cups some of our juniors played in the final meeting of the year at Haddington.  

The Winner of the Handicap Trophy was Catherine Milne with a score of 90 - 11 = 79

The Scratch Winner was Joanne Free (3) with a score of 80

CSS 76. Scores will be returned to home clubs for handicap purposes.

Well played everyone. The greens were fast and tricky and there are some testing holes. 

Congratulations also on the pace of play. To go round Haddington in less than 3hr 10 min is excellent and an example to us all.
 

Junior - Autumn Meeting - change of date to 20th September 2015

The competition is till at Haddington and the first tee off time is at 2pm. Please contact Wendy Thummanond at [email protected] or at 0131 441 3056 as soon as possible if you would like to play. This is the last junior event of the year and we hope as many was possible will play.

Junior Girls Summer Meeting

While the final of the British Open golf was being contested at St Andrews, two of our girls took part in our Summer meeting for the Juniors today at Gifford Golf Club.

The course was drenched by the heavy rain earlier but it was dry when the girls started their round. Mixed weather followed them round and it was a typical jacket on and off day.

Congratulations to Catherine Milne who won with a score of 74 (86-12) . Ruth Kowbel had a score of 81 (106-25).  CSS 73.   

 

Congratulations to Joanne
