Junior success stories
Congratulations to Lucy Morrison who has had a fantastic few weeks reducing her handicap to 9. She followed up a nett 64 in the weekend medal with 49 points in Thursdays midweek stableford. She also reached the semi final of the East of Scotland Girls Championship last week losing to the eventual winner Eilidh Henderson (Loretto) and had a solid performance in the Scottish under 16 Girls Open over the past two days. Well done Lucy!
Blair Welsh won the 10-14 year old category in the Dunbar Junior Open last week with a nett 68.
Commiserations to Sam Hall and Conor O'Toole who finished on +4 and +5 for 36 holes at the Scottish under 16s. They both narrowly missed the cut which was at +3 in a strong international field. Good performances from both.
Sam Hall halved his foursomes match and won his singles in the Lothian's Under 14's Boys team who beat Perth & Kinross Under 14's Boys 9-3 at Royal Burgess GC yesterday (17 July).
Conor O'Toole is currently playing in the English Boys' Under 16 Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship (McGregor Trophy) this week at Burnham and Berrow Golf Club in Somerset. Good luck Conor - bunkers look interesting!

Scottish Junior Open Troon
Brilliant experience for Blair Welsh, Lucy Hall and Toby Appleyard, led by captain fantastic Iain Welsh at the Scottish Junior Open in sunny Troon. The team had a better ball score of 57 - which you would think was absolutely fantastic on a long links course, but it wasn't quite good enough with two 54's and a 56! But they all played really well and represented the club really well also.
