UNDERSTANDING TALENT

Sportscotland launched a new film On Wednesday at 10am which hopes to help people to understand the concept of ‘sporting talent’.

Developed with the Talent Team at the sportscotland institute of sport, the hope is to help young athletes gain a new perspective on what ‘talent’ really means and ultimately encourage them to work hard at their sports.

It is aimed primarily at young athletes (11 – 17) but is also very relevant to those who influence them –from their coaches and teachers to parents, peers, neighbours and role models.

The message is simple – hard work and determination can lead to sporting success.

The link to the video is here: http://youtu.be/LfUvchfrcS0

Feel free to pass this link on to any young athlete that you think may benefit from watching the clip.

Scottish Ladies Strokeplay and Matchplay Foursomes 2013

The above competition took place on Sunday 1 September at Kirriemuir Golf Club. 

Overall winners of the matchplay were Kilmarnock Barrassie, our congratulations go to them.

3 County members were participating in the strokeplay, Mary Lou Watkins and Hazel Saunders (Gullane Ladies) and Dawn Young (North Berwick) who partnered Dawn Darling (Kirriemuir).

Mary Lou and Hazel won 2nd Scratch with 81 and also won the trophy due to the 1st scratch winners not being from the same Club.

Dawn and Dawn won 1st Handicap with 85 less 11.5 nett 73.5

 

It would be great to see this tournament with more support next year. Any ladies can play either with a fellow club member or a friend from another club. You dont have to be a County member and all levels of handicap are welcome. Its a fun day so watch out for the published venue on the SLGA fixtures list for 2014.

They await news of their next opponents. Good luck in the next round.

Expanded website

We will shortly be adding two new categories to our website. Our members are also active members of their own clubs and support the open days run by clubs in the East Lothian area. We thought it would be a good idea to add two new categories.

East Lothian Clubs Championships will record details of all the Ladies Champions and runners up. A number of clubs have their championships later in the year but we are currently gather details of those that have been held and the list will be posted soon.

East Lothian Clubs Ladies Open Days will carry a list of Ladies Opens held at Clubs in East Lothian. It will carry the date, club, type of competion and the website details for the club so that you can log on and download entry forms. We felt it might be a useful service to members to be able to log on to one site to get details of the local open days. We are too late this year for some clubs but hope that all full list for 2014 will be posted early in the season next year but it is not too late to enter those listed for August this year!

Scottish Senior Ladies Nett Match Play 2013

Barabara Biggart & Elinor Blair returned to West Linton this morning for the first round of the match play.

Barbara had a good 3&2 win in the morning over Morag Wadrop. In a hard fought match in the afternoon quarter finals Barbara lost by 1 hole.

Elinor played well for a 4&3 win over Louise Rigg in the morning game but unfortunately lost by a similar margin to Fioans Cemeron in the afternoon quarter final.

Well done in getting so far in what has been testing summer weather.
