Watson Cup 2022 Itinerary and daily reports.

July 3, 2022 By Dave Warren

Draw update!

Is anyone interested in forming an Instagram Account for the League! Let me know if you do. Dave Warren.

This is the latest version of the FULL ITINERARY for the visit by the South Carolina Team, correct at 2330 on 3rd July June. Please check back here regularly to see if there are any updates. All matters such as photos, scores, press releases, rules of the competition etc will appear under the menu heading of Watson Cup 2022 from now on. You will also see on this website a Calendar. In there, you will see entries on each day of the visit, which contain more information. Please check those daily. 

DAY 4 SUNDAY THE 3RD JULY. The East Lothian/Edinburgh Team had a day off yesterday but are at Royal Burgess today. All 9 Players and 3 Reserves turned up to play in quite a strong wind, and these photos below name the Players involved.

The SCJGA Team enjoyed a courtesy practice round at Gullane No. 2 today. Mark Elam has now turned up to bolster the SCGA support Team. Before the Team left the Golf Lodge, they paraded their wonderful new team gear, kindly donated by Ralph Lauren.  A Committee member, Mike Robson, kindly drove the bus to and from the venue. 

L-R Tip Price, Adam Hunt, Burch Harrison, Andrew Gregory, Major Lenning, Hugh Falkner, Rowan Sullivan, Jerry Bruns, Luke Walmet, Stephen Behr.

DAY 3 SATURDAY 2ND JULY. The SCJGA Team went by train to Edinburgh for a hop-on, hop-off bus tour. We secured a volunteer to take the Team bus and their golf clubs to Royal Burgess for their evening practice round. The driver, David Hardwick played with them, and brought them back safely to North Berwick having stopped for chips in Gullane.

DAY 2 FRIDAY 1ST JULY In the morning, Watson Cup Chairman Dave Warren played host at North Berwick to Brandel and Bailey Chamblee. Dave invited Major winner Catriona Matthew to join the game, and a good match ensued, in which the two Ladies had a deserved win! Brandel is one of the top golf commentators in the USA and works for the Golf Channel. I recently watched this interview about the LIV Tour in which Brandel “nails” it! It is well worth a watch!

The SCJGA Team were invited to use the practice facilities at North Berwick, but to the astonishment of their hosts, they elected instead to ascend the hill known as Berwick Law, an old volcanic plug, 613 feet high, which dominates the Town. This is the view they would have seen with the famous West Links in the picture. 

The SCJGA Team then enjoyed an excellent lunch at the North Berwick clubhouse with guests Catriona Matthew, Home Team Captain DJ Russell, Watson Cup Vice President Douglas Connon, Golf Lodge hosts Tom and Emma Hill, NB Pro Martyn Huish, SCGA’s Mike Whitaker, Dave and Sue Warren, and Brandel and Bailey Chamblee. There was some excellent searching questions posed to our distinguished guests by the Junior Golfers, and much good advice given by Catriona, Brandel, Martyn, Douglas and DJ!  The SCJGA Team then played the West Links at North Berwick at 5 pm. The East Lothian and Edinburgh Team had a practice round at Gullane No. 2 accompanied by Captain DJ Russell and Committee Members Jack Rogan, Derek MacGillivray and Colin Hogg. The Chamblees then walked parts of Gullane No.2 and met some of the home Players so there was no favouritism!

DAY 1 THURSDAY 30TH JUNE – The SCJGA Team of 9 players and Stephen Behr had an eventful flight over the Atlantic after a 4 hour delay in Boston! They arrived at Edinburgh at 1247, amazingly with ALL their golf clubs, baggage and the Watson Cup! They were met by Dave and Sue Warren, and Colin Hogg, who had both a 17 seater bus and a luggage van with them. After currency exchange at Marks and Spencer, and a snack, and a change of bus driver, the Team left for North Berwick, arriving to heavy rain and thunder, about 1630. At 1800, the SCJGA Team, with Sue and Dave, enjoyed a lovely meal in the Catriona Matthew Lounge in the North Berwick Clubhouse, where the Team were introduced to a “John Panton” non-alcoholic drink. They unwittingly ate haggis, which was cunningly concealed inside the chicken! Photo below proved that all made it safely here. Also pictured is Food and beverage Manager Naim Abbas. The Team then enjoyed a leisurely walk along part of the golf course on a beautifully calm and sunny evening, before returning home for a well earned rest. Meanwhile, around half of the East Lothian/Edinburgh Team had their courtesy practice round at Muirfield, accompanied by Committee members, and they enjoyed a dry round after all the showers. Dave.

East Lothian Junior Golf League News

US Kids Golf results!

More news from the US Kids – Ryan Killorn finished 4th in the 11 year old section by scoring an impressive 72 round Craigielaw in the final round. Ryan had previously won Gullane’s U14s Club Championship Championship with a gross 66 round No.3! Photos below. Well done Ryan!

Five of East Lothian’s Clubs, The Glen, Longniddry, Craigielaw, Musselburgh and Royal Musselburgh played host to around 600 Juniors from all around the world, who were competing in the US Kids Golf European Championships. The week climaxed in a Match between all the winners and runners-up in the older age categories, for the Van Horn Cup. All the scores can be seen on the US Kids website here.

The draw for the Cup match, and photos can be seen below. Aidan Lawson was playing in the top match in the four ball format, and with partner Jack Conroy, finished 5 under par to score a point for their Team. Aidan’s Dad John was an excellent caddie, especially in the chilly conditions! The League Secretary later met up with the US Kids Golf founder, Dan Van Horn, and Director Chris Vonderkall, who have again kindly promised to make a donation to the League which will be used to subsidise the costs of our League’s next trip to Pinehurst. Thanks Dan and Chris!

Golf Sixes 2022!

Lynne Malcolm has kindly sent the results of the second GolfSixes event, held at The Glen on Sunday 22/5 at Craigielaw. Gullane had the best total, followed by Craigielaw and The Glen who were tied for 2nd.  The updated League Table will appear here after each event. The Glen remain in the lead after 2 events. 


 

The new season of Golf Sixes is about to start. There are six Teams competing. The schedule is detailed below and all dates are on our Calendar on our website. The Sixes are an important part of keeping the League refreshed with new Players after they obtain handicaps. so they deserve our support. We already have some 8 and 9 year olds playing in League Matches. We will publish the Golf Sixes results and League Table on our website Katy McNicoll, a professional at The West Links, North Berwick, is organising this years events. Contact Katy at [email protected]

Match Day Information

Dear Players, please see the standard Match Day information for 2022 at this link.

Golf Genius App draws & scoring

Viewing the List of Entrants and Draws – On the App, go to the Match Day concerned and click on it.  As Players enter events through the Golf Genius App, their names appear in the section marked  “Member Portal.” If you click on that, you will then see “Tee Sheets” which is a place where any draws made for our Competitions are  If the event is open for registration, then all the entrants are listed there. But if the event has not yet been opened for registration, you will see the message “No rounds available.” However, you can still see the “Tee Sheets” if you click on “Member Portal,” and then click on “Tee Sheets.” Once the draw has been made, then the Order of Play can be seen under Tee Sheets” in tee-time order, and also in alphabetical order.

Scoring – This link will take you to a very good and brief explanation in a YouTube video on how to record scores on the Golf Genius App in your group during your rounds in our League. Have a look at it and you will feel more confident about using the scoring App all the time. For the rest of the 2022 season however, we will continue to use scorecards but please “double up” by also using the App to practice using it. Next season it will be optional for group to use scorecards or keep the scores on the App. 

Benefits from using the App –

One person in your group can record all the scores on the App  while the other players are teeing off. This will save time and speed up play. You can view the leaderboard. At the scoring desk, all the entered scores can be seen and cross checked more easily and quickly. Arithmetic will be correct. Illegible figures on scorecards, and there shouldn’t be any, can be checked against the App.
