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.

100 Club (2016)

Although the 100 Club was not fully subscribed last year there was a lot of support for the idea that it should continue.

We are now accepting applications for the 100 Club (2016). Full details and an application form can be downloaded from the links below along with a standing order form if you would rather pay by instalments.

The main differences are that the joining cost for the year has been reduced to £30 (from£60). There will still be 12 monthly draws with three prizes each month instead of four.

We hope that you will support this fund raiser and get some fun in checking the draws each months and  hopefully winning a prize (or two). You can have two entries.

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.

Junior Spring Meeting 2016

We had 5 girls competing in this year's Spring Meeting which was played in the sunshine at Kilspindie on Sunday 24th April 2016.

All the girls could take away something positive from the day apart from enjoying the Spring conditions.

Kate Crawford having taken 3 shots off her handicap a few days earlier played a steady game within her buffer zone despite an unfortunate out of bounds at the 18th. Catherine Milne did not have one of her best days but finished with a lovely birdie at the  18th having driven the green and Ruth Kowbel after a very shaky start settled down to return a net 70 and after a stableford adjustment for handicap purposes ended with one under the CSS.

The stars of the day however were our youngest players Grace Crawford (who like her sister put her drive at the 18th out of bounds) and Emma Chapman who putted beautifully. They both shot net 64s.

Scratch winner and winner of the Draper Cup and Junior Club Champion - Grace Crawford - 80

Handicap winner and winner of the Morrison Quaich - Emma Chapman - 86 -22- 64

            The Winners

Joanne Watt our Vice President presented the winners with golf balls donated by The Telegraph/BWM who are running a National junior competition. This was our nominated competition and the cards will be forwarded to the organisers and the best under 14 girl nationally wins a prize and the best 8 nationally go to Portugal at the end of the season with a chaperone for a final.
