Many thanks to Gifford GC for hosting our MD7 on Sunday 20th August. And thanks are due to our usual helpers, Shona, John, Jack, and Ric. This was Jack’s last event as Joint Secretary before he moves to Aberdeenshire. Thanks for your commitment to the League Jack! We will find a nice gift to mark your departure. Jack will still be involved in arranging the 2023 County Cup, and our Watson Cup Match in the USA in 2024. The results of MD9 can be seen below. The League table has been updated. Scores have been uploaded to WHS. Well done to Musselburgh Toun for winning the event, with West Links Bass close behind. David Ferguson (33) and Harvey Blair (41) had the best scratch and handicap points totals. Sadly, because of conflicting events, several Clubs did not have the minimum of 4 Players to count, so West Links’ strength in depth was very apparent by the Teams finishing 2nd and 3rd on the day. This means that the Bass Team will be the League Champions for 2023. Well done to Ric and his squad! The results enhances the chances of both the West Links Teams qualifying for the imminent Scottish Junior Team Championships on the 24th September at Elderslie. But both Kilspindie and Craigielaw may have something to say about that at MD10! Please get your entries in on Golf Genius for the final MD10 at The Glen on Sunday 27th August. All outstanding prizes can be collected there. Trophies for Championships should also be available there. The Orders of Merit tables have been updated. You can see this on Golf Genius under “Season Points” where there are now quite a few Players who can win! It’s getting very close there! Dave Warren 07595 301425.

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.

Girls’ Junior Framework!
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.
