Having had a very warm welcome to Luffness for the Spring Meeting we were back for the Championships this weekend. On Sunday morning there was a light breeze and a little warmth in the air.
The 1st round scratch players teed off first thing with the course presented in excellent condition which was going to produce some well contested matches. Kay Lannin beat Vice Captain, Frances Hall 3&2. Frances had managed to hold her off till later in the round. Kirsten Ireland beat Jenni Ray 5&3 and Anne Laird won against Pauline O’Hagan at the 18th. Dawn Young won 6&4 against Anne Henderson, with Dawn showing a fine display of putting. Hazel Saunders beat Fiona Larnach 3&2 and Jill McNicoll beat Barbara Biggart 2&1, both close matches with very little between them. Mary Lou Watkins had a convincing win over Janette Murdie 5&4 and the final match was a very tightly fought battle between Carys Irvine and Annie Hunter going all the way to the 21st with Carys finally winning.
After a quick turnaround we were back on the tee for the quarter finals of the Scratch and the 1st round of the Handicap Quaich. Kirsten overcame Kay in a match that came down to the putts 3&2. Dawn, still on fine putting form beat Anne 4&2. Jill was definitely in championship form winning against Hazel 7&5. Carys and Mary Lou had a close tussle and Carys won 2&1.
The Handicap matches kicked off with Kayren Macdonald and Carol Murray finishing on the 18th with Carol 2 up. Brenda Goldstein was beaten by another North Berwick Lady, Pat Phillips 5&4. Seline Stewart and Chandrika Munro saw Seline take the victory and in the last match of the day Una Cooper beat Elspeth Douglas.
The ladies were ready to head home and recharge their batteries for their early start on Monday morning keeping everything crossed the weather would stay dry and the coastal wind wouldn’t raise its head!
As everyone arrived on Monday morning there was certainly a different feel to the weather. It was chilly and the waterproofs were donned, hats put on and whilst it felt winter had returned, it did not hold back any of the competitors.
Our first semi final, Kirsten v Dawn was a text book display of driving, pitching and putting, a very tight match and with few mistakes until it came to the 17th where Dawn had a very awkward lie in her approach to green shot and it left the door slightly ajar for Kirsten to seal the win 3&1. In the second semi final Jill had her putting boots on and Carys just narrowly missed a few putts, one that gave Jill a convincing win 5&4.
The Handicap Semi finals saw Carol Murray and Pat Phillips, both North Berwick ladies, take it to the 17th with Carol finally winning 2&1. Seline Stewart beat Una Cooper 4&3 taking her through to the final against Carol.
The players took a well-earned rest and were ready for the final round at 1.30 and it did not disappoint. Kirsten and Jill were both playing magnificent golf, with an almost perfect round. Kirsten took the lead going 1up at the 3rd but Jill quickly brought it back to A/S with a birdie on the 4th. They remained all square with a perfect display of golf until the 9th where Kirsten again went 1up, and she kept that lead until Jill had a fantastic birdie at the 15th, her approach shot going to 2ft from the pin. There were no signs of nerves going up 16 or 17, both their heads were down and driving almost identical drives, hitting the same approach shots, and putting similarly, it was such ‘tidy’ golf. Arriving at the 18th tee both players put their drives out to the right in the light rough. Jill hit a long approach to the green just being caught by the green side bunker. Kirsten then hit a long approach landing on the front of a grass hump in front of the green. Jill came out the bunker but left herself a long putt. Kirsten pitched the ball past the pin leaving a long putt back. Jill’s 4th shot was short leaving Kirsten a putt for the Championship. Kirsten just missed and Jill gave her the putt. Jill had a putt to take it up the 19th but it just slipped past the hole and it was all over. The crowd had thoroughly enjoyed this fine display of golf and both players were congratulated on their play by the crowd.
Elsewhere, on the course Seline and Carol had a very closely fought game. There wasn’t much separating the two players but Seline crept ahead a few times during the match. However, after 17 holes the match was all square. Both players played good shots to the green and it came down to the putting on the last green. Carol’s putt sat on the edge of the hole and Seline put hers in the hole to win the match. The match was played in good spirits. Very well done to both players for reaching the final.
The presentation took place in the clubhouse. Peter Grant, Luffness Captain, welcome the ladies and said how he had thoroughly enjoyed watching the Championship. I thanked Peter, all the staff and green keepers on behalf of the County for welcoming us to the Club and how much we had enjoyed being there. Thanks also went to all the County Officials for their help and spectators for coming. The prizes were presented and congratulations to all who took part, it was a fantastic Championship.
Just eight days after winning the Helen Holme cup Grace Crawfordhas done it again. This time winning the R&A Girls under 16 Amateur Championship, a leading event for up-and-coming female golfers.
This year the 54-hole stroke play event took place at Enville Golf Club in the Midlands with a field of 88 players competing on the heathland course.
It was Grace’s final appearance at the event having first entered at the age of 12 so a very timeous and welcome win.
After the two opening rounds she stared the final day with a two shot lead and overcoming a difficult start rolled home a 25 feet put at the par-5 18th to win the Championship by four strokes.
Her winning total a four-over-par 220. Well done Grace!
The El girls team did fantastically well despite the tough cold and windy conditions returning some great scores from the match at Longniddry Golf Club.
A fantastic 47 points from Molly Chapman.

137 ladies took part in the Spring Meeting at Luffness on Easter Monday. For many it was their first time to play the Old Tom Morris designed course and an opportunity to tick one from their bucket list. The course was in fantastic condition and proved to be challenging, rewarding and enjoyable with undulating and fast greens, immaculate fairways and well placed tricky bunkers which caught out many of the ladies. Despite the testing windy conditions there were some great scores and huge congratulations go to the winners –
The Connie Lugton Prize for best scratch was won by Kay Lannin with a gross 75 and the Bronze scratch was won by Carol Murray with a gross 88 net 67.
The two’s competition was reintroduced and four ladies had a two –
A very impressive 9 shot win for Evie McCallum in The Junior Tour Event at Kilspindie Golf Club this Easter weekend. Evie posted a score of 139 (-1) for the two round competition.

The Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open took place this Easter Weekend. Played annually at Royal Troon the format is a 54 hole stroke play competition contested over three days. The first two rounds are played on the Portland course and the final on the Old Course.
This year’s tournament saw a strong international field gather on the west Coast of Scotland but it was our very own Grace Crawford who came out on top with a most impressive 4 shot win. Not only is it the first home victory in 20 years but at just 15 years old Grace is also one of the youngest players to achieve the title.
In today’s final Grace got off to a flying start birdieing her opening three holes and not to be put off by the windy conditions she kept the momentum going to post a stunning round of 68 (-4). In her own words – “This is my highest achievement yet. It’s a great competition to win” ………..

They also mentioned it would be a good idea for members to download the R&A rules app or to have a look at the website where they have some great visuals and also the search function is fantastic –
Much easier than reading through the rule book. However still always a good idea to have one of these in the golf bag.
Another idea suggested to try and help with learning/remembering rules – in your usual four ball, each week one of you finds a rule and explains it to everyone. This way throughout the season you get the opportunity to learn lots of new rules. Might be a bit more exciting than sitting reading the rule book on your own…

We held our Pre Season Lunch on Saturday 5th March at The Glen Golf Club. The 75 ladies who attended were treated to a delicious lunch provided by Clint and his team in the panoramic dinning room. After the disruption of the last couple of years it was really nice to see everyone together again and on a gloriously sunny day the views of the beach and the Bass Rock were fantastic.
After lunch we enjoyed a fun game of Bingo – it was eyes down and the room went very quiet as everyone checked the numbers on their cards! So much concentration!
Thank you to everyone for coming along and thank you to the committee for their help on the day. Now we can all look forward to the golf season ahead.

On Course Rules Session – North Berwick Golf Club
Home, Latest News & Info, UncategorizedThank you to the ladies who attended the rules session at North Berwick. The sun was out and everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
Katy and Martyn covered 14 scenarios on the day and a summary can be found at the following link.
ELLCGA Rules Scenarios – 13th March 2022
They also mentioned it would be a good idea for members to download the R&A rules app or to have a look at the website where they have some great visuals and also the search function is fantastic –
https://www.randa.org/en/rog/2019/pages/visual-search
Much easier than reading through the rule book. However still always a good idea to have one of these in the golf bag.
Another idea suggested to try and help with learning/remembering rules – in your usual four ball, each week one of you finds a rule and explains it to everyone. This way throughout the season you get the opportunity to learn lots of new rules. Might be a bit more exciting than sitting reading the rule book on your own…

Pre Season Lunch
Home, Latest News & Info, UncategorizedWe held our Pre Season Lunch on Saturday 5th March at The Glen Golf Club. The 75 ladies who attended were treated to a delicious lunch provided by Clint and his team in the panoramic dinning room. After the disruption of the last couple of years it was really nice to see everyone together again and on a gloriously sunny day the views of the beach and the Bass Rock were fantastic.
After lunch we enjoyed a fun game of Bingo – it was eyes down and the room went very quiet as everyone checked the numbers on their cards! So much concentration!
Thank you to everyone for coming along and thank you to the committee for their help on the day. Now we can all look forward to the golf season ahead.
