East Lothian Ladies' County Golf Association

Scottish Senior's Womens Amateur Match Play Championship

The above tournament is taking place at Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club, Black Isle and whilst we have been busy at Inter County Matches some of our "Senior" members have been flying the flag for East Lothian in this tournament.

Moira Thomson and Jane Herd both qualified for the knockout stages, and then met each other in the first round of the matchplay stages, with Moira winning 6&5.  In the quarter finals Moira met Jill Harrison of Cruden Bay, and won at the 19th.

Moira now plays Fiona De Vries (St Rule) in tomorrow's semi-final, and I am sure all members of ELLCGA will join with me in wishing Moira all the very best for tomorrow.

Scottish Championship 2010 - Come and Play

Are you looking to make up for all the golf you've missed out on this winter? Then why not come and play in the 2010 Scottish Ladies’ Amateur Championship at Craigielaw Golf Club from 18 – 22 May.  While this is predominantly a scratch Championship it is open to all Scottish female amateurs, who fulfil the entry qualifications, with plenty of prizes for the qualifying rounds including;   - Individual scratch and nett prizes for individual rounds and aggregate totals,   - Nett and gross prizes for club teams of two players, and   - Prizes for County teams of three players. (Club and County teams must be entered on separate entry forms which have been sent out to your Clubs and Counties respectively.)  The format of the Championship is two rounds stroke play qualifying over 18 and 19 May with the lowest 32 aggregate scratch scores qualifying for the main match play Championship and the next 16 qualifying for the 2nd flight, the Clark Rosebowl.  In addition to the golf, the ‘Scottish’ is also renowned for being a great social week of golf and is always a chance to meet up with friends old and new.  If you’re not lucky enough to make it to the latter stages it’s a great opportunity to watch the top Scottish Amateurs compete for the title and for those that don’t make it to the final of the main Championship, there is always the legendary Friday night party to look forward to.    The venue for the 2010 Championship is Craigielaw Golf Course in East Lothian.  This is a Championship links course which also boasts outstanding practice and clubhouse facilities. The entry fee of £35 will guarantee you three rounds of golf (including one practice round). http://www.craigielawgolfclub.com/ Photograph courtesy of Craigielaw Golf Club If you are not able to play in this year's Championship please put the dates for future years in your diary:   2011:   Machrihanish Golf Club 17 - 21 May 2011 2012:   Tain Golf Club  22 - 26 May 2012   More information about the 2010 Championship, including entry qualifications and antry forms can be found here and on the Championships section of the web-site.   The closing date for entries is 12 noon on 19 April 2010.
