A huge thanks to all at Dunbar GC for hosting the 37 Juniors who braved the 40 mph winds at Dunbar today. The course was in great condition. Our thanks are due to Dunbar’s Junior Convenor, Assistant Professional James Gill and the rest of the staff at Dunbar. As usual, Shona Paton and Ric Foulner assisted with the running of the event, and John Anderson was our excellent Starter, and our thanks are also due to all of them. The lower than usual turnout was partly due to many of our regular Juniors being employed at that other event down the road – the Scottish Open! This clash will be avoided in future years. The leading Team on the day was West Links Bass scoring 114 points, only 1 point more than Kilspindie. The League table has been updated – see this website. The Bass Team move further ahead of their closest rivals, the Fidra and Kilspindie Teams. Well done to the leading Teams and the individual winners who are listed below. There was a 4-way tie in the Net scoring, so after count back, they all win a prize. The home Team’s Kai Laing won the scratch prize with a gross 76, equating to 31 points. Winners can collect their prizes at future MDs. The Orders of Merit have been updated and can be seen on your Golf Genius App under “Season Points. All scores have been posted to WHS so any handicap changes will be made overnight. Please register asap for our annual Championships at Longniddry, as well as for the final 3 Match Days.

ELJGL Girls vs. St Andrews!
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.
