Championships 2020(2) – Results

By

The CSS for Girls was down 1 to 67 and was down 1 to 64 for the Boys. Results and prize list appear below. Thanks to Gullane Golf Club for hosting these Championships, and thanks to Brian O’Connor, Frances Hall, Mark Lucas and Jenni Ray for their help. The trialling of Golf Genius for our scoring worked well once Players knew to access the on-app scoring using their GGID code on their scorecard. As I knew that some Players were playing on the following day in the ProDream USA event at Longniddry, so Mrs Warren and I sorted out the CSSs last night by re-inputting all the scores onto Intelligent Golf. Your “away” scores will now have been posted through to your home Clubs. Thanks to all of for playing! There were some great scores. Watch this space for news of  some invites for special treats! 

Here is the full prize list below the photos. I will get the trophies engraved for Players, and when ready, we will make arrangements for a handover. Prize vouchers will be posted out. Golf Balls etc will be kept for you till our events start next season and I will hand them out then. Photos are, top to bottom:-

Ryan Killorn, Alexander Yuill, James Wood, Ala Gorka, Molly Paton and Adam McLean.

 

 

 

The U18s and U16s Boys Championship was played earlier in the season, and all the U15 Boys missed their chance in that section due to a clash with a larger Juniors event. They played in the event at Gullane, but were not competing for the U16s trophy. Andrew Hendry had an excellent scratch 65 with Jack Lucas and Oliver Mukherjee on 68, were 2nd but Jack prevailed on the count-back. Adam Nichol led the handicap section with a net 60, and only claimed the prize after a count-back on the last 6 holes with Owen Malcolm. 

Boys U14 Results. Congratulations to James Wood who won the scratch trophy with a 65. Fergus Brown was close behind with a 66, and Brodie Cunningham was 3rd with a 72. Adam McLean won the  handicap trophy with a superb net 58, only winning by 2 strokes from Harris Munro who had a net 60. Scott Porteous and Adam Macdonald were joint 3rd.

Girls results. Congratulations to Ala Gorka for her scratch 74 beating Lucy Morrison by 2 strokes. In the handicap section, Molly Chapman had a 65, two strokes better than Maisie Witt.

U12 Boys results. Congratulations to Alexander Yuill for his scratch 72 beating Cameron Mukherjee by 1 stroke. In the handicap section, both Ryan Killorn and Oscar Wilkinson had 62s, with Ryan having the better back 9 of 32 to Oscar’s 33.

ELJGL 54 Hole Masters Strokeplay – Results!

The ELJGL 54 hole Masters Strokeplay concluded at Longniddry on Sunday the 5th July when the 3rd round was completed. The previous 2 rounds had been played at Haddington on the 29th June. The table below which has been submitted to WAGR, shows the scratch scores for all 22 Boys who completed the 3 rounds. It had been planned to hold an equivalent Girls event but there were insufficient entrants to meet the minimum required by the R&A. Congratulations to Caleb Pickett who will gain his first WAGR points by completing all 3 rounds in a total of 225, 15 over the total Par of 210. The scoring limit for the event to be acceptable to WAGR is a total of 18 over par for 3 rounds, which total both Seb Harvey and Daniel Hogg managed to better! 

 

Fun Four-ball at Muss. Old – Results!

Please see the results attached for the ELJGL Fun Four-ball at Musselburgh Old GC on Wednesday 1st July. A big thanks are due to our hosts Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club, and to Alan Tweedie, their Junior Convenor. There were 40 Players in 10 Teams based on an even handicap split. The scoring format was the best 2 net scores from the 4 Players in the Team on each hole, with an 85% handicap allowance for each Player. The winning team was captained by Cameron Brown, and included Aaron Muldowney, Sam Small, and Adam Orr. Cameron’s contribution was exceptional with 7 birdies and an eagle! Their total net score was 109, 27 under par!   A Team of Convenors also played 9 holes with the challenge that any team beating their score for their first 9 holes, would receive a marker for Muirfield, who of course are called the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, and their origins started at the Musselburgh Links! Sadly, every one of the 9 Teams of Juniors bettered the Convenors score! Muirfield Markers will therefore be awarded at the next Match Day each Player attends. After the event, the Players were welcomed into the MOCGC Clubhouse where the League supplied sandwiches and drinks. The Players had a chance to see some history of the 6 Open Championships which were played at the course between 1874 to 1889. This link gives a flavour of the early history of golf, for which evidence suggests that golf was played on Musselburgh Links as early as 1672! Prize Vouchers for the leading 4 Teams and were issued at the event. Some outstanding vouchers will be issued at subsequent events. Dave Warren, Jt League Secretary. 07595 301425. 

 

 

 

 

MD7 at Haddington – Results!

Our thanks are due to all at Haddington Golf Club, especially to the GM Alan Mackay, who along with F&B Manager Lisa, made sure we were all welcome.  John Murdoch and I would like to thank our usual helpers, Chris Barker, Gordon Smith, Steve Walker and Shona Paton. In the Team event, in which the best 4 out of 6 net scores count, West Links Bass with 145 points, were 8 points ahead of 2nd placed Glen who were on 137. The scores have been posted to WHS, the Orders of Merit have been updated, and along with the Leaderboards, can be seen on your Golf Genius App. The League Table has been updated, and can be seen on the right hand side of this website. West Links Bass now are leaders by a few points from The Glen. Team and best individual scores are inserted below. All the leaderboards of every competition we organise, and the Orders of Merit standings, can be seen on the Golf Genius App.

We had fine weather for a change, but the rough was very high so there was a scarcity of really good net scores, except for 8 year old Callum Laughtland who, playing for West Links Bass and in receipt of 24 shots, amassed 44 net Stableford points! His handicap has now been cut by 3 strokes! In the scratch section, Daniel Hogg playing for Gullane, with a gross 70, scored 37 points closely followed by Lewis Young on 36 scratch points. Callum therefore goes to the top of the Net Order of Merit with his 1st place finish, and Oliver Tate and Phebe Pickett, playing for West Links Bass and Fidra respectively, are close behind. Lewis Young of Craigielaw was next best in the net section with 38 points. Daniel now has 2 wins this season, and leads the scratch OOM by a margin of 24 points over Cameron Brown of Kilspindie. Prizewinners may collect their prizes at one of our next events.  

SLOW PLAY – Play was reasonably paced on Sunday at Haddington, but one group fell 30 minutes behind the match in front, thats maybe 3 holes! As all groups started their round 8 minutes after the group in front, groups should be finishing their rounds 8 minutes after the previous group has finished. If not, then the slower group are probably out of position, and in some cases, might be liable to penalties for slow play.  You must try to close the gap between you and the group in front.

BALL SEARCHING – Sometimes, when a ball is seen to disappear in deep rough, and a good shot with a provisional ball has been played, it might be better to accept that to continue with the provisional ball is the better option, and to not even search for the original ball. Even if you find your ball, it might take you 2 or 3 shots to advance your ball to a more playable position. So this is a judgement call whether you actually even start searching for a ball which, if found, will probably be unplayable. And you will undoubtedly delay the group behind, thus contributing to slow play!  Just take the penalty, and announce you are abandoning the search and continue with your provisional ball! Note – if you do find the original ball within 3 minutes of starting a search, and deem it to be unplayable, you are not allowed to continue with the provisional ball. 

NEXT EVENTS – We are back at Haddington on Monday the 29th June for our “Flagship” event – our Individual Championships at which there are many trophies and prizes up for grabs.  Entries close on Tuesday 23rd June at 6 pm. Please enter this, and any of our other events asap as there may have to be waiting lists for these events. The morning round in our Championships at Haddington is a qualifier for the Justin Rose Telegraph Golf Championship.
