Our members were very positive about the course and all seemed to have really enjoyed their day. Grace Crawford’s 65 may be […]

The East Lothian County Flag flew over Muirfield yesterday for the first time since the memorable day of our Spring Meeting in 2017.

HCEG Muirfield have been very supportive in enabling us to go ahead with the Babe Zaharias next Monday. However they have been required by East Lothian Council to provide a very detailed and stringent Covid-19 risk assessment which in turn requires us to set very strict and comprehensive rules. These are attached, and you will […]
It is looking likely that we will be able to run counting competitions for the Babe Zaharias and Ultraplast Trophies next Monday, which is good news. However there are a lot of details that we have yet to sort out, and I’m afraid it’s going to mean that you will probably get several emails over […]
We remain uncertain whether we will be able to play the competition, as open counting competitions are not yet permitted in Scotland. However we are putting all arrangements in place so that we are able to proceed at short notice if the go ahead is given. Meanwhile, HCEG Muirfield have very kindly agreed that we […]

We have been given the go-ahead by Scottish Golf to run a singles knock-out competition, so we’ve decided to start the Winter Knock-out early, and to run it this year as a singles competition. This should make organisation easier and ensure that we meet Covid requirements. The competition will be run by Kay Lannin, and […]

Entries opened today for the Babe Zaharias Trophy, to be played at Muirfield on Monday 17 August. We decided that we had to go ahead and open the Babe Zaharias for entries, so that we had time to get set up and are ready to go if the green light is given in time. However we […]

Ladies, I hope I find you all in good health and coping in this extraordinary time. I hope we will be back to golf soon, but as we know it will not immediately be in the format which will allow the County to hold all our usual competitions. Gail, Jane and I have had a […]
According to the Sunday Times today a return to golf in Scotland is on the cards , perhaps this week, however competition golf is further away.

Just to let you know that we are thinking of our members and trying to make some plans. Thanks to Gail McKill for organising a “Zoom” meeting for us, an interesting experience for all.
