The season is underway!

We are off and running for 2018 ......

Difficult conditions in the first medal on Saturday 7th April with the course playing long. Well done our greenkeepers for getting it playable.  Congratulations to Danny Hendry on winning the 18 hole stableford on better inward half from Conor O'Toole and Blair Welsh. Harry Garden won the 9 hole stableford.

Two new members Charlotte and Alex Nevard, out with the Tiger Cubs both gained their bronze certificates first time out!

A special well done to Daniel Hogg who went out with his Dad to put his flag card in at 8am in the morning as they were off to Yorkshire at lunch time!! And then played at Filey GC! Dedication!

Meanwhile Sam Hall was playing in the Scottish Boys Open in Montroses and then down to Collingtree Park in Northampton to play in the England v Scotland Independent Schools Golf Association match

Fun activities at Craigmillar Park

All the snow has meant our course has been used for a different type of sport this week. Believe it or not, the golf season is just around the corner and will kick off with a social evening on Thursday 22nd March in the clubhouse from 6.30pm. You should have received a separate email about it.  Please contact Frances if you can come. Family and friends welcome

The first golf event will be an Adult / Junior Foursomes competition on Sunday 1st April from 1.45pm.  Please bring along your friends and if you don’t have an adult to play with, don’t worry - we will find one for you!

Before the snow

17 out last week in our last junior scramble of the winter. A fun day was had by all. Well done to winners Danny Hendry, Daniel Hogg and Cameron Ledingham with a fantastic 32 for 10 holes! Great to see our ‘senior’ players mentoring our stars of the future. Congratulations to runners up the Murisons.

Changes to Handicap Regulations 2018

There used to be two types of handicaps available to juniors, a CONGU (Competition) handicap and a CONGU (Club) Handicap. From 2018 players can have a CONGU (Competition) handicap up to 54 and the concept of a CONGU (Club) handicap will cease to exist.

Members with a CONGU (Competition) Handicap of 36 or under can play in all junior competitions at Craigmillar Park. Those with a handicap of 37 or above can play in 9 hole Stablefords, all knockout competitions and fun competitions.

For more information please read the sections on the left hind side of this pages on:

Happy Christmas from the Junior Committee

Wishing all our juniors and parents a very Merry Christmas and fun golfing in 2018.

Santa Scramble

Twelve adults and juniors braved the bitter cold today to play in our Santa Scramble. Fantastic score of nett 31 for 10 holes by Louis and Daniel (assisted by Michael). Santa is going to review handicaps over Christmas 😉🎅. Great tales of bouncing balls and well used hand warmers afterwards in the clubhouse.
