ELLCGA SPRING MEETING RESULTS

ELLCGA SPRING MEETING ON THURSDAY 28TH APRIL2016, AT MUSSELBURGH GOLF CLUB

Today, on a very chilly day, 96 ladies braved the elements to compete in the ELLCGA Spring Meeting, which is a qualifier for the ELLCGA Championship. Our 2014 Ladies Champion Mary Lou Watkins, (Gullane Ladies) one of the early starters, had an excellent score, setting the bar for the later players. Her two under par score of 73 equaling the SSS of the course included 4 birdies, with a 2 at the 16^th. Liz Dunn Butler (Gullane Ladies), our reigning champion, had an excellent 78, just pipped by Lauren Lee, our promising junior, who had an very good 77, but unfortunately has an exam on the first day of the match play and is therefore unable to compete.

Congratulations to Anne Rorrison (MGC), the leading qualifier in the Handicap Quaich. New East Lothian member Ann Wood from The Glen Golf Club had an amazing round on an unknown course of net 61 off a handicap of 29. Unfortunately she is unable to compete in the Handicap Quaich.

Musselburgh Golf Course was in excellent condition and ELLCGA was made very welcome and the catering staff were very attentive. We are very grateful to Musselburgh Golf Club for agreeing to host our Spring Meeting and Match Play competitions.

International Foursomes

Susan Penman and Lesley Johnston were pipped at the post by one shot but did very well to finish as runners up after the three day event.

Good luck for the International Foursomes

Well done so far to Susan Penman and Lesley Johnston who are in the lead after 2 rounds and tee off last tomorrow in the final day of the International Foursomes at the Royal Club de Belgique. Good luck girls.

Our Captain Barbara and partner have also been taking part but have struggled rather more to come to grips with the course which is playing very long after a lot of rain.

 

 

Any West of Scotland out there?

The West of Scotland Girls are having their 60th birthday celebrations this year. They  have organised a day at West Kilbride and wish to make sure as many West Girls are aware of this competition. So if you are a former West of Scotland Girl check your diary for the 4th August and read the full details at wsgga.btlk.com or contact [email protected]

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.
