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.
