East Lothian Junior Golf League
Supporting junior golf in East Lothian, Scotland
Our 1st Match Day was successfully completed last Sunday at Gullane No.3. The weather was kind and the tee sheet was full but a few Reserves missed out! We will request more tee times next year. The scoring was good as can be seen on this table of results.
On Saturday the 28th March, a Team of 6 Girls ventured to the Jubilee Course at St Andrews for a match vs. the St Andrews University Ladies Golf Team. The University Team were led by their Captain, Kate Thomson, a recent ELJGL Player from Dunbar. The 3 pairings consisted of Anna Zonova and Lydia Pickett vs. Louisa Forman and Palakshi Siingh, Chloe Adams and Phebe Pickett vs Helen Boyd and Abi Mitchell, and Maisie Witt and Louise Martin vs. Clara Goldstein and Meili Fabre-Marques. The St Andrews University raised 8 Players so together with Gareth Jack, former Longniddry Junior Convenor, I played against Kate and Jemima Bullock. The overall result was 2 matches each. After a round played in very windy conditions, with sand from the beach stinging our faces, we adjourned to the One Under Bar in the Rusacks Hotel for soup and sandwiches. We were grateful for the support of several parents, George Adam, Chris Martin, David Witt and most of the Pickett family! We anticipate having a return match in 2027 in East Lothian. Photos attached in order as per the Teams listed above with a stand-in from another Pickett sister for a St Andrews Player who had to leave! Dave Warren, Jt. League Secretary.
Please note – MD2 has been CANCELLED due to the adverse weather forecast. Some PLAYERS AND PARENTS (12 in total) have not yet opened the email message I sent through Golf Genius last night, and some emails (8) were “bounced” by the recipients. Recipients of “bounced” emails have been sent a reminder copied to other members of their families.
Please check your emails, and your “Junk” boxes for that email from me sent through Golf Genius. PLEASE DON’T TURN UP AT DUNBAR TODAY!

Scottish Golf have recently announced by email their new funded pathway for “Girls to enter, stay and thrive in Golf.” All Convenors should have received this through their Clubs, but I have sent it to all our Convenors just to be sure they see it. The complete information on how to apply for funding etc is at this link
