NEWSFLASH
Welcome!
We would like to welcome you to our new website, which has been created by David Hillson, our new Webmaster. David took over from Keith Young over the winter, and has been working hard on constructing the site. Our thanks go to both of them. You may see some new features on the site. Please check out every part of it. The League Table will always appear on the front page. The League fixtures and results will be updated regularly and all notified League fixtures to date can be seen at “League” then “Fixtures and Results.” The “Roll of Honour” detailing all past winners has been updated with results from 2011. There is a new Google Calendar listing all known local, National and International fixtures which could be of interest to Junior golfers in the County. Just go to “Events.” A Calendar then appears which takes a few seconds to load. Go to the month you want, e.g. try July and you will see all the available events, which are colour coded by category, and which contain other features like maps. You can copy an event to your own calendar. Try this for all the East Lothian Junior Opens as we hope you will be making these a priority for 2012. An entry form can be seen here for your use. At the foot of the page you will see “Newsfeeds” from many golf publications and a feed into a great site for explaining the Rules! There is a lot to explore so go ahead.

Keith Young Presentation
At the 2011 Annual General meeting of the East Lothian Golf League, Dave Warren, League Secretary, made a presentation to Keith Young. Keith has run the ELJGL website for the past seven years and was thanked by Dave on behalf of convenors and league members. Running the website takes a considerable amount of time and Keith has put considerable expertise and time into making sure that we all know what is going on and can easily access important league information. From January 2012, the management of the website passes to former league secretary David Hillson.
