August Update

There has been so much happening with our juniors I can hardly keep up!

Lucy Morrison has just won the East Lothian Girls Championship today at Gullane no.2 with a scratch 79 which included a back nine of -2. Brilliant stuff Lucy!

Sam Hall played in English Boys' Under 14's Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship (Reid Trophy) this week. He made the cut with ease and despite being disappointed with his 3rd round put in a fantastic performance.  Well done Sam!

Our junior team achieved a well-fought 3-3 draw with Mortonhall yesterday in the junior league quarter finals, leaving all to play for in the 2nd leg at home next Friday. Come on team - we can do it!

Hannah Coull gained her first handicap and Oliver Livingston, playing in his first competition, had 49 points in the midweek stableford!

Keep it going everyone!

Adult Junior Scarmble

Six teams took part in our adult/junior scramble today.  Congratulations to the winners Carys Doggart, Anna Clark and Graeme Clark. A few twists to the rules made for much thought about tactics. Thankfully the brollies were only required at the start.
