A big thanks to all at The Glen for hosting our final MD for 2023. Although the West Links Bass Team had already clinched the League Championship before MD10, there was still a tense climax to the season, as 3 Teams battled for 2nd place in the League. The West Links Fidra Team were 5 points ahead of Kilspindie, and 7 ahead of Craigielaw before play commenced. The 4 Players from Craigielaw managed a great total of 160, taking the honours on the day, and they caught and tied the Fidra Team, as both had 75 League points for the season, which you can see in the League table in sidebar of this website. Under our rules on ties, the Team with the better stableford points total at the final MD are offered a place in the Scottish Junior Team Championship, so both West Links Bass and Craigielaw will be offered the chance to play in that event. If a third spot in the SJTC becomes available, then it might be offered to West Links Fidra. The Orders of Merit were decided on the day, and these results can be seen in another article on this website. The League Table has been updated. All scores have been uploaded to WHS. Thanks also to our season long helpers, L-R in the photo below, yours truly, Sue Warren, Shona Paton, Steve Austin, and Ric Foulner. Our Starter John Anderson, Lynne Malcolm, and David Brady of The Glen also assisted during the day. Jack Rogan was sadly absent, as he was playing in an event in the North East. Jack is now going to live in Peterhead, so we will miss you Jack! Prizes for the 8 Players mentioned below will be given to them no later than the first event of next season! Most of the West Links Juniors Teams stayed for the presentation of the League Championship Trophy, which was attended by Graeme Stewart, the Captain of North Berwick Golf Club. The only Craigielaw Player who remained at the end was Michael Lothian, pictured far left. The others in the photo are all West Links Juniors, front L-R Oscar Wilkinson, Luke McLaughlin, Harvey Blair, Rory Papakyriakou, Hudson Blair. Back row L-R, Graeme Stewart, Ben Churn, Jack Collingswood, Rory McArdle, Andrew Irvine, Junior Convenor Ride Foulner, Harry Dunkinson, Harris Munro, David Li Ferguson and yours truly. The Team Strokeplay, and the League Championship trophies, are in the foreground together with other trophies the West Links Players won at the League’s individual Championships.
