Congratulations to the winner of the Babe Zaharias Trophy, Karen Marshall (Baberton) who played in the last group of the day in torrential rain. Given the dreadful conditions Karen’s score of 76 was miraculous. Karen narrowly beat Sarah Ledingham (Gullane) by one shot. A fuller description of Karen’s round, written by one of her playing partners can be found on the Midlothian County website.
Thank you to the Braid Hills Golf Centre who sponsored the Babe Zaharias prize money. This helped to raise a fantastic sum of more than £6,500 for the Maggie’s Cancer Charity.
Congratulations to ELLCGA member Morag Burns (Royal Musselburgh) who won the Ultraplast Trophy with an excellent nett score of 65.
Many thanks to Mortonhall GC for hosting the event and to their ladies section for their organisation of the event, especially the very successful raffle.
Thank you also to MCLGA for running the competition.

I am very proud of our East Lothian team the way they played and how they conducted themselves throughout the competition. All of our matches were very close including a draw against the eventual winners, a couple of putts were the difference between finishing third and winning. They played some amazing golf on a course that favoured strategy over distance. Thanks to them for giving up their time and for being so great to work with. The course at Tulliallan was in immaculate condition, the burn came into play on many of the holes and along with the bunkers made the small greens difficult to hit. Weather conditions contributed to the exciting golf that we saw, swirling winds on the first two days and rain on the last resulted in some excellent matchplay. Special thanks to the Greenkeepers whose hard work showed all round the course. All of the committee members who were there want to go back and try playing it themselves, it really is a lovely course. Thank you to Tulliallan GC for allowing us the use of their course and for making us welcome. Thanks to the catering staff who managed to keep us fed, the cakes for dessert proved very popular.
There were lots of highlights over the 3 days.
On the last day, Clara’s albatross, hole in one followed later on by Evie holing a 60 yard pitch for an eagle when their opponents were a couple of feet from the pin and were going to be putting for a birdie.
Clara again, slipping into the burn as she tried to retrieve her ball.
Jill’s putt that won the hole on the 18th against S&C, resulting in a halved game and a halved match.
Jo’s shot from the 7th fairway onto the tiny 8th green, which was hard to get onto even from the 8th fairway.
The sheer quantity of snacks that the team managed to eat.
The positive comments from everyone about our fluorescent pink kit, it made them easy to see even when in the trees.
You can’t really miss us
We will need to buy pink hats
The hard working caddies and ball spotters who were such a help to the team, thank you for all your support.
Many thanks to Alison and her S & C committee for all the hard work that they put in to make the Jamboree a success. There was such a good atmosphere in the clubhouse and on the course.

Abby Nisbet has been selected as 1st reserve for the Scottish Women’s Team for Europeans and they’ve asked her to go to the training camp and competition this weekend. It’s an opportunity that can’t be missed. However we have Jenny Sewell as an excellent replacement for her.

An excellent performance from Abby to get so far in the competition. Unfortunately Erin’s opponent in the final, Rosie Maguire was unable to play due to a neck injury.

Thank you to North Berwick Golf Club for hosting our Spring Meeting, we are looking forward to returning for the Championship knock out rounds on the 3rd and 4th of May. We had a great turnout at North Berwick yesterday, thank you to all who took part and thank you to all of you who got lifts, shared cars and turned up early this really helped with the parking situation and made running the competition a lot easier. The weather at North Berwick yesterday was dry and sunny for the early starters but looking at the scores it didn’t make North Berwick any easier. As the day progressed the wind increased and the temperature dropped and the back nine, played into the wind, was very challenging. A special mention goes to Joanne Free who despite playing in the last group managed a gross score of 75 to win the scratch prize for division 1.
There were 5 twos yesterday
Barbara Biggart, Kirsty Robinson, Clara Young and Kirsten Ireland at the at the 6th and Lynn Logan at the 15th.
Please see attached the results of yesterday’s competition.
A great result for the team today against the Borders. East Lothian won all four games against the Borders. Craigielaw was in great condition and the weather was perfect. Both teams contributed well to a match that was played in a friendly but very competitive manner.
Abby Nisbet and Joanne Free thanks to a birdie at the 17th won by 2 & 1 in a keenly contested game. Kirsten and Jill playing for the first time together dovetailed well to win by 5 & 4.
Annie Laird and Tina Bracken-Chalmers played well to win by 3 & 2.
Pam Hall and Shirley Lawson were 4up after 4 holes and won by 5 & 3.
Well done ladies

Congratulations to Anne and Anne, Sheila and Rae on reaching the final.
It was a very windy and cold start to the final tie on Monday morning. At least the wind kept the rain at bay but the gusts were somewhat challenging to say the least.
Holes were lost both sides by challenging wind conditions affecting play and balls finding bunkers!
Anne & Anne were 3 up after 9 holes but then lost 2 holes in quick sucession. This was due to some great pars made by Rae and Sheila on the next two Par 3s.
The game was played in good spirit with holes being won then lost.
The game concluded on hole 16 with Anne and Anne winning 3/2.’

Jamboree Round Up
Home, Jamboree, Latest News & Info, UncategorizedI am very proud of our East Lothian team the way they played and how they conducted themselves throughout the competition. All of our matches were very close including a draw against the eventual winners, a couple of putts were the difference between finishing third and winning. They played some amazing golf on a course that favoured strategy over distance. Thanks to them for giving up their time and for being so great to work with. The course at Tulliallan was in immaculate condition, the burn came into play on many of the holes and along with the bunkers made the small greens difficult to hit. Weather conditions contributed to the exciting golf that we saw, swirling winds on the first two days and rain on the last resulted in some excellent matchplay. Special thanks to the Greenkeepers whose hard work showed all round the course. All of the committee members who were there want to go back and try playing it themselves, it really is a lovely course. Thank you to Tulliallan GC for allowing us the use of their course and for making us welcome. Thanks to the catering staff who managed to keep us fed, the cakes for dessert proved very popular.
There were lots of highlights over the 3 days.
On the last day, Clara’s albatross, hole in one followed later on by Evie holing a 60 yard pitch for an eagle when their opponents were a couple of feet from the pin and were going to be putting for a birdie.
Clara again, slipping into the burn as she tried to retrieve her ball.
Jill’s putt that won the hole on the 18th against S&C, resulting in a halved game and a halved match.
Jo’s shot from the 7th fairway onto the tiny 8th green, which was hard to get onto even from the 8th fairway.
The sheer quantity of snacks that the team managed to eat.
The positive comments from everyone about our fluorescent pink kit, it made them easy to see even when in the trees.
You can’t really miss us
We will need to buy pink hats
The hard working caddies and ball spotters who were such a help to the team, thank you for all your support.
Many thanks to Alison and her S & C committee for all the hard work that they put in to make the Jamboree a success. There was such a good atmosphere in the clubhouse and on the course.

It’s an opportunity that can’t be missed. However we have Jenny Sewell as an excellent replacement for her.
Longniddry GC has been my home club for the past 8 years. I’ve been playing golf since I was 7 and come from a very keen golfing family! This will be my 3rd jamboree and I’m really looking forward to it 😁.
Away from the course I am a Disney fan, crazy cat lady (to Milly) & recently joined the new electric car club 🚗!
Can’t wait for another great week of golf, fun and new memories with the team! 🏌️♀️
The team had a practice session at Tulliallan today, they received a lot of good advice from coach Jane Connachan. Here’s hoping for a good result against Midlothian tomorrow.
