MATCH V BORDERS Sunday 22nd March

It was a lovely sunny day at the Borders for our annual friendly match at The Hirsel Golf Club Coldstream. We were made to feel very welcome at the golf club and all the matches were played in a very friendly sociable manner. The match was very close and two matches halved.

Susan and Sarah were up against it when their opponents had a hole in one. Congratulations to Julie Birdsall for her hole in one.

Sophie and Lauren pulled back to be 1 up playing the 18^th but their opponents holed a 25 foot putt to square the match which resulted in a drawn match.

Thank you to all those taking part and our grateful thanks to the Borders team for their hospitality.

The results were as follows:-

Joanne Free & Charlotte Munro beat Leanne Wilson and Sharon Paterson 3 and 2

Sarah Stitchbury and Susan Penman lost to Julie Birdsall and Isla Craigie 2 and 1

Cynthia Guthrie and Stacey Cameron halved with Alison Smith and Ali Melvin

Sophie Bain and Lauren Lee halved with Fiona Ker and Diane Cassidy

Result  - East Lothian 2  Borders 2

    

 

Winter Foursomes 2014/15 Final

Congratulations to Gail McKill and Mary Lou Watkins in winning this year's Winter Foursomes. 

The weather was cold as is to be expected for a Winter Foursomes final but for once there was no howling gale or rain.

It was a very close game all the way with Mary Lou and Gail coming from behind to steal the match on the 18th from Anne Smith and Claire Miller.

 

 

Spanish Senior Women's Open Amateur Individual Championship

Two East Lothian Ladies  took part in the Spanish Senior Women's Open Amateur Individual Championship at La Manga on Friday and Saturday last week.  There were in fact only three Scots in an international field.  Former Scottish women's amateur champion, Lesley Johnston (Gullane Ladies) was the leader of the Scottish challenge  in T48 position with Sue Penman (Gullane Ladies)  three shots further back.

Spanish international, Macarena Campomanes (78-78 for 156) was the winner with Lindsay Shaw from Derbyshire 2nd.
 

 
 

Scottish Golf Academy Winter Series Final

The Scottish Golf Academy Winter Series Final was played over the Jubilee Course in St Andrews at the weekend. As you will no doubt all remember there were some fairly horrendous winds around and to say that putting was a challenge is an understatement. 

Shannon McWilliam (Aboyne) won the best gross with Brogan Clark (Lochgelly) winning the Winter Series trophy.

Congratulations to Joanne Free who flew the flag for East Lothian Clubs with a very creditable 4th equal, only 2 off the leader.

Pre-Season Lunch 2015

 
The Pre-Season lunch was held for the first time at The Glen on Saturday 7th March 2015 and 53 ladies enjoyed the wonderful views, good food and refreshments. Judging by the decibel levels in the room they also seemed to find plenty to talk about.  

Our guest speaker this year was Gillian Kirkwood and she entertained us with some interesting, instructive and amusing stories from her duties as a referee.

There was also a fun quiz and a raffle to raise funds for junior coaching. This year we have to thank Dunbar Golf Club for donating a round of golf for four, Gary Nicol (Archerfield), Alasdair Good (Gullane), and Martyn Huish (North Berwick) for golf lessons and Jackie Montgomery (Dunbar) for golf balls.

A few familiar faces were missing this year but it was good to welcome some new faces and who all promised they will be back next year. I think it is safe to say it was a successful afternoon.
