The annual match with the Gullane men for the Percy de Vere Trophy took place this afternoon.

The format was greensomes with 6 drives being required from each player.

The matches started in calm, cold and dry conditions but by the time the first game reached the 7th hole the rain started and kept on going. The teams were very wet and cold by the time they got back but were warmed by a wonderful high tea.

Congratulations go to the Gullane Men’s Team who won the match.

Many thanks to Gullane for their hospitality.

The pairings for the East Lothian Ladies Team were Louise Martin & Anna Zonova, Kirsten Ireland & Allyce Kennedy Darke, Jill McNicoll & Jenny Sewell, Annie Laird & Nancy Thorne, Hazel Saunders & Mary Lou Watkins and Corrine Luca & Shona Paton.

In a very close match ELLCGA were beaten by the Border’s Team by two and a half matches to one and a half. The match was started in quite cloudy, misty and cold conditions but luckily not too windy, by the end there was very welcome sunshine.

We had a number of players who had never played Eyemouth before and they really enjoyed the experience. The signature 6th hole (‘A still no ken’) has won many awards including ‘Britains Number 1 Most Extraordinary Golf Hole and this was a favourite, there were some excellent tee shots played to this par 3.

   

     

The par 5 13th (521yds) had the added difficulty of having swans at the front of the green, as if the water hazard wasn’t enough!
