ELLCGA Members playing for Senior and Junior Scottish Teams

Congratulations to Clara Young and Joanne Free for being picked to represent Scotland at the Home Internationals in the Ladies and Junior teams respectively. We wish them both the best of luck from all our ELLCGA Members.

Junior News

Congratulations to Joanne Free who came 3rd in the Scottish Girls at Baberton Golf Club. The match play had to be cancelled because of lightning so the title was decided in an 18 hole stroke play competition. Great effort by Joanne and below is a picture of her with the prizewinners

Jamboree results for day 2 at Mortonhall on 27/6/2016

Jamboree Results Day 2

Today the weather was kinder at Mortonhall with blustery winds but fortunately we were dry . In the morning the foursome results were convincing against us with a 3 nil loss. In the afternoon the singles matches were keenly contested and at midpoint the result was looking favourable. Joanne Free had a great match against Louise Macgregor going to the 18^th hole and Louise scrambling an amazing par from the thick grass she was embedded in off her drive. Joanne had had a great up and down at the 17^th to maintain a halved situation but unfortunately her shot to the green was just over the back and narrowly missed her putt to allow Louise the win. Lauren Lee had a close battle with Laura Bissett losing at the 18^th. Our hero of the day was Mary Lou Watkins who had a great win over Alison Davidson after being 2 down after 3 holes. The end result was 8-1 though I feel the quality of play of our team is not reflected in the result. We are looking forward to our match against Midlothian tomorrow who won 8-1 against Fife today.

COMMONWEALTH SPOONS RESULTS AT GIFFORD GOLF CLUB ON 26th MAY 2016

Well done to everyone who played at Gifford today. The elements were not kind and I am feeling much better after a hot bath! Thank you to those ladies who played and marked cards which prevented any 3 balls going out until the 4 pm slot their participation was much appreciated. This meant that the golf was played at a great pace. I have to say the 3 ball at the end may have been slower but from their comments at the end they all had fun. Gifford golf course was in great condition and their greens were lovely too but the wind and rain took its toll on the scores and the players.

Gifford Golf Club were also very welcoming and thank you to Bob for opening early and to Shirley and all her staff for looking after us so well and feeding all the hungry ladies. It was difficult to pull yourself out of the Club after a quick toilet stop where everyone was warm and cosy. The results are as follows:-

COMMONWEALTH SPOONS RESULTS

26 MAY AT GIFFORD GC

1  Elinor Blair and Janice Reid(North Berwick) 86 (11) 75

3 Anne McAllister and Heather Neil (Renaissance) (22.5) 76.5

I will confirm those representing ELLCGA at Eyemouth on September 7th 

HOLE IN TWO SWEEP (£80 IN THE KITTY) – no holes in two so I will give money to McMillan at the Babe Zaharias Trophy. I trust you will all be happy your £1 has gone to a good cause

There will be superb golf on view. If you would like to volunteer to caddy please contact our Vice Captain Elaine Dick.

ELLCGA CHAMPIONSHIP AND HANDICAP QUAICH RESULTS

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 18^th hole.

Keren Ward played steady golf against Susan Penman. After a ding-dong battle Keren birdied the 14^th 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 16^th in par and Keren won the 17^th 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 18^th 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 18^th 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 5^th with a par to go 2 up and they halved the next 2 holes. Keren unfortunately was in bunkers on the 8^th and 9^th so they were all square at the turn. Keren won the 10^th with a par they halved the 11^th and then Keren lost the 12^th being in a bunker again. Jane had an excellent 4 at the 13^th to go 1 up and a birdie at the 14^th to go 2 up and a par at the 15^th to go 3up. The 16^th 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.
