As always I would urge you all to take part. The aim of Gullane Juniors is to see as many of you as possible participating in our events and enjoying their golf at Gullane.

Please let the starters know if you intend to play so we have an idea of numbers. Or email me and I'll update them.

Morrison Trophy

Hi All,

Gullane Juniors Handicap Championship for The Morrison Trophy 2013

This is a singles match play knock-out competition (full handicap difference) to be played from  April/May until September. The trophy is open to all junior members of both Gullane Golf Club and Gullane Ladies Golf club who have a handicap.

Normally we would enter everybody with a handicap and who lives reasonably locally for this competition. However, we have realised over the last couple of years that some of you now have too many other commitments to enable you to allow the time to participate in The Morrison Trophy.

If you would like to  take part in this competition please let me know by midday on Mon 15th April in order that I can complete the draw.

It would be great to see as many as possible taking part.

Full information/rules of the competition will be sent out to those taking part on completion of the draw.

Thanks

Pamela

First match 8.30am Thursday v NBGC

Go Gullane !

Panmure Course Guide - Excellent !

http://www.panmuregolfclub.co.uk/hole+by+hole+1/

First Green

Positional shot with three wood or long iron to centre right of fairway, provides a short iron or pitch to a green which slopes away. A running approach landing short of the ridge at the front of the green often produces the best result in dry or downwind conditions.

Lothian Clubs Dominate Home Nations

By MARTIN DEMPSTER 

Evening News Thursday 4 October 2012 12:00

LOTHIANS clubs dominated the quarter-finals of the Home Nations Junior Inter Club Championship.

Liberton and Craigielaw filled the top two spots in one event at Scotscraig, while Pumpherston and Gullane were the qualifiers at Downfield.

It was quite an achievement given that teams representing Leagues from Aberdeen, Ayrshire, Carnoustie, Fife, Glasgow, Linlithgow, Dumbarton, and Lanarkshire were also competing.

It also included both of Paul Lawrie’s sons, Craig and Michael, who were playing for Deeside.

Liberton, represented by Anthony Blaney, Keiran Cantley, Scott Finlay, Alan McLaren, Fraser Christie and Daniel Eardley, won their qualifier by 14 shots.

Former Scottish champions Craigielaw also progresed with a team comprising of Calum Cochrane, Lewis Ross, Stuart Blair, Oliver Duffy, Willem Kerr and Marcus Cullen.

Pumpherston produced an equally impressive display to win by 11 shots in Dundee, where Chris Curran, Kerr Anderson, Adam Loch, Andrew Loch, Calum Kelly and Mark McGeoch flew the flag for the West Lothian club.

On duty for Gullane as they, too, progressed to the last four were Alexander Wilson, Tom Simmonds, Graham Swan, Scott 
Gillies, Duncan McLean 
and Michael Williams.

The semi-finals are at Panmure on October 15, when Craigielaw will play against Pumpherston and Gullane will face Liberton in a medal matchplay format with the final in the 
afternoon.

ELJG League Championships at Kilspindie – Results, Prizes & CSS

We are trialling a new Central Database of Handicaps system which will soon notify all of our players’ Home Clubs of their scores as “away” scores and this will take into account any Net Double Bogeys etc. However, if you have had a good score, and if you might have your handicap reduced, you should do that yourself before you next play in any competition. Well done on a great days golf! Photos will appear here shortly. Full report and scores are now below. Click on “100″ to show all the scores. NOTE – the CDH system has calculated the CSS for the U12 boys from the Ladies tees as 69. This, I believe is wrong as I calculated it to be 65. and I will investigate the reason for this. In the meantime, Convenors are recommended to ensure U12 players handicaps are reduced or increased using the SSS of 66 from the mens tees. Also, the PM scores for the U18 Boys have not been entered on the system yet. [Read More...]

Mens Scottish Amateur Championships – Grant wins!

Recent EL Junior Grant Forrest of Craigielaw is the Scottish Amateur Champion for 2012. Held over the great links at Royal Dornoch, 19 year old Grant was an unseeded player, but he played magnificently to reach the final with some big wins on the way. In the final, over 36 holes, Grant beat Richard Docherty by 9&7. Zander Culverwell (Dunbar), and Greg Smail, also of Craigielaw, both lost narrowly in the last 16. This is a huge event to win, from 256 entrants, and Grant, I am sure, will soon be rewarded with caps at International level. The ELJGLeague congratulates Grant on winning his 3rd National title!!! For a report see the SGU website.

More International honours for Clara and Leslie!

The team to represent Scotland in the Girls’ Home International Matches to be played at Radyr, Wales, on 7 – 9 August, includes Lesley Atkins (Gullane Ladies) and Clara Young (North Berwick).

Solid win for Thomas Simmonds and Jamie dug deep to ovecome younger player giving 7 shots. Olly Ladbrooke was outstanding for a 1 hole win over Ross Wilson - chipping dead for birdie at the last to close him out.  Quality stuff and an excellent outcome against decent Tantallon side.
