East Lothian Ladies' County Golf Association

East Lothian Hat Trick - County Finals Here We Come!!

Day 3 kicked off with less sunshine and more breeze, which, from a home advantage point of view, was not completely unwelcome. Our tee times were later with being drawn in the second match so our team had more rest for the 36 holes to come.

Starting the final day in pole position was a great effort from the team and we took strength from the fact that we had been victorious over the two teams that had already won against our final opponents. 

I am delighted to report that the morning foursomes finished with East Lothian in the lead with 2 wins and 1 loss. The afternoon singles got off to a good start with a convincing 5 and 4 win from Lesley Atkins which bumped the scoreline up to 3 points. We now only needed 1 1/2 points more to clinch victory. While the 2nd match between Keren Ward and Kate McIntosh was still alive and close the 3rd match out finished in a win for Midlothian.  Match 2 ended on the 18th with a great 1 Up win to East Lothian so now only 1/2 a point required..........

Our 4th match was another tight affair between Joanne Free and Emily Dalgetty and went the full distance resulting in a narrow defeat for us with a 1 up win to Midlothian. Meanwhile bringing up the rear were Charlotte Munro in match 5 against Alison McBride and Dawn Young versus Kirsten Blackwood in match 6. Thankfully by the time match 6 reached the 17th green sitting at 1 down it became evident that Charlotte Munro in match 5 had done a Martin Kaymer and clinched the last point we needed to win the title. Match 6 finished on the 18th green as a half match making the overall scoreling 3 1/2 to 5 1/2.

The picture below was taken shortly after the the last ball was struck on the 18th green.

  

Our 2014 County team have been a fantastic example of what can be achieved by mixing seasoned players with the exuberance and confidence of youth. It has been a great experience for all and we look forward to competing together at Hilton Park Golf Cub on 19 to 21 September.

Today,on a beautifully presented course, the 2014 East Division Inter County Matches commenced. The morning foursomes kicked off at 10 am with Midlothian v's Fife followed by East Lothian v's Stirling & Clackmannan. There was a stiff breeze but the sun was shining and all were raring to go. Apart from a shower which lasted no more than 4 holes the weather was relatively kind. The afternoon singles matches commenced at 3.06 pm with fairly benign conditions which lasted throughout the afternoon and into the evening.

Full results below.

There was some fantastic golf played which thrilled any who came to support.

Thanks to all our volunteers on the day from caddies to parking attendants and to fellow committee members for giving up their time since without such people the tournament would not be run so efficiently.

Summer Meeting - Musselburgh GC - Thursday 19 June - Results

On a fabulous sunny day 79 ladies tested their golfing skills around a well presented course. As well as some excellent scoring as can be seen below, it was an excellent opportunity to view wildlife close up. There were sightings of a vixen and her cub on the course and a very cheeky crow who stole a bag of tees from one golf bag ball pocket and a cereal bar from another!

I can also report that Elaine Dick had an eagle 3 on a hole where if she had been playing stableford she would have gained 6 points due to it being a stroke hole!

Match Report from Tuesdays play

Morning Matches

The morning Championship semi finals and Handicap Quaich Final started on a sunny and relatively calm morning. As the day progressed the wind strengthened making the majority of the inward half holes quite testing.

The first match out, Liz Dunn-Butler v Mary Lou Watkins, had early excitement at the par 3 third where Watkins holed her tee shot for a hole in 1! Dunn-Butler had won the 2^nd to get back to square but Watkins ace got her back in the driving seat. Dunn-Butler was not swayed and continued to display a tidy short game keeping the match score line very tight. At the 17^th Watkins got up and down from a green side bunker to clinch the match 2 and 1.

The second semi final, Barbara Biggart v Catherine Small, also displayed some excellent golf. Biggart didn’t find the touch on the greens she had yesterday and Small played steady golf making it hard for Biggart to get a foothold. Small won on the 15^th after holing a greenside chip to win 5 & 3.

At the same time as the Championship semi finals were being played the Handicap Quaich Final, between Seline Stewart v Fiona Hopkinson, was also on the course. Hopkinson got off to a good start and was 3 up on the fifth tee but lost 2 out of the next 3 holes to get back to 1 up. Hopkinson holed out in 2 from the edge of the green on the 8^th to win and get back to 2 up. Stewart won the 9^th, 11^th and 12^th to get back to square and then went into the lead for the first time at the 16^th where Hopkinson found the lateral hazard off the tee. Stewart was victorious on the 17^th winning the match 2 and 1.

Afternoon Matches

By the time the final match between Watkins and Small teed off the wind was considerably stronger making play trickier. Neither player started well with Watkins winning the 1^st and 2^nd holes in bogeys. Small got one back at the 3^rd where Watkins missed the green having aced the hole in the morning and Smalls bogey 4 was good enough to get the score line back to 1 up to Watkins. Having won the 4^th with a par Watkins then missed the green at the short 5^th and ended in a greenside bunker with the ball lying well below her feet. The hole was eventually conceded as Small was nicely on the green. Watkins won the 6^th with a par after Small found the ash pathway at the side of the green with her 2^nd shot and didn’t get down in 2 from there. The 7^th was halved in good regulation par 4’s. Small sank a lengthy putt to win the 8^th with a birdie 3 to Watkins steady par. Unfortunately Small was well left off the blind 9^th tee and found a gorse bush which forced her to take a penalty drop. Watkins bogey 6 was good enough to get back to 2 up. The 10^th hole was halved in par 3s and Watkins won the 11^th to get to 3 up. Small won the 12^th and was looking like bagging the 13^th after holing a putt across the green for a birdie 3 when Watkins sank her putt too for a birdie. Small won the 14^th with a birdie and the 15^th was halved in pars. Small teed off first at the par 3 16^th and was heading into the lateral hazard when her ball struck a rock on the beach and ricocheted back in to play and came to rest on the front apron. Watkins did well to hit the green after witnessing her opponents stroke of luck. Watkins long putt stopped just short of the hole for a two resulting in a half in 3 with the score line now 1 up to Watkins with 2 to go. With two great drives down the 17^th it was all down to the putting and Small holed out well in 2 for a par 4. Watkins left her 2^nd putt short and took 5. Score line now all square on the 18^th tee. Small went left off the tee into rough semi and hacked out well to short of the green. Watkins had a good drive but with a downhill lie for her second shot the ball went right of the green leaving her a tricky pitch over the greenside bunker. Small left her approach chip well short and then, having putted so well on the back 9, also left her putt well short. Watkins had chipped on in 3 to about 4 feet and the hole was conceded when Small missed her putt for 5. Watkins won the match 1 UP.

 

They say that patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who wait! In Mary Lou’s case she has been very patient and waited a long time. This was the 6^th time she had won her way into the County Championship Final having been beaten on all 5 of the previous occasions, the first being in 1995 when she was beaten by Hilary Monaghan.

Mention must also be made of both players exemplary etiquette throughout the final and how gracious Catherine was in defeat. There is no doubt that she will be a force to be reckoned with in years to come and she will put in more Sunday afternoon appearances!

 

Spring Meeting - Dunbar GC 1 MAY - Results and Championship Draws

We had a good entry of 112 ladies but due to the bad weather conditions only 57 played. Thanks to all those ladies who braved the elements so we could get qualifiers for next weeks championship. Although the rain subsided in the middle of the day the temperature remained cool with a stiff breeze blowing.

Although the scoring was unusually high this is testament to the playing conditions and the winners are all to be congratulated for what were good scores under the circumstances.
