ELLCGA JUNIOR REPORT

Since the last meeting we have had 5 ELJGL Match Days at North Berwick West Links, Longniddry, Gifford, Castle Park and Dunbar.

At Longniddry we also held the ELLCGA Junior Spring Meeting and had 9 girls competing. Grace Crawford won with an excellent 40 points, Emma Chapman was 2^nd, also with 40 points and Lucy Hall was 3^rd with 37 points.

At Gifford the ELLCGA Girls’ Team had the best overall score on the day, of the 12 teams competing. Abby was the leading scorer with 43 points, followed by Ellie Bent and Louise Martin, both with 41 points. Thank you to Jenni and Jane for their help at Gifford.

We had just one girl competing at Castle Park, mainly due to a clash with the championship qualifier at Gullane. There were 3 girls competing at Dunbar. The next match day will be at Craigielaw on 30^th June.

East of Scotland Girls played a match against the West of Scotland Girls at Pollock Golf Club. Ala Gorka was the only ELLCGA girl who was able to play. The West won the match.

We have arranged a Get-Together for the girls at Fenton Barns on the 17^th June with Martyn Huish. We will use the session for a bit of coaching, a bit of help with the rules and how to mark scorecards and the responsibilities of marking your playing partner’s card. We have got 4 girls who have said they will come along. Thanks to Jenni for arranging the evening.

The Cuthbertson Cup has been re-arranged for 29^th September at Falkirk Tryst following its postponement in April.

It was lovely to see the sunshine and lots of happy golfers at Longniddry yesterday. Although the wind got up in the afternoon, it was a great day for some good golf. We had 9 girls competing for the Spring Meeting and they were all representing either East Lothian or their own club.

There was some excellent scoring and the winners were tied with 40 stableford points. Grace Crawford was the overall winner with a better inward half from Emma Chapman. Very well played, girls. In third place was Lucy Hall with 37 points.

The CSS has been confirmed as 74.

Thanks to Jenni for all her help on Sunday and to Joanne Watt, our president, who came along to see the girls start. Thank you for your support.

Look forward to seeing you at the Summer Meeting on July 7th at Kilspindie but in the meantime, there are a few more ELJGL Match Days to play!

Happy golfing and well done again, Grace. (Hard lines, Emma, but very well played!)

Regards

Frances Hall
