MCLGA Vice Captain

Unfortunately Wendy Ross has stepped down as Midlothian Vice Captain. I should like to thank Wendy for her support to Midlothian  in her role as representative for Glencorse Golf Club where  her teams won both the 5 asides and Greensomes leagues last season. We are also grateful to her for organising the Tri am at Glencorse in August and wish her well in the future.

I am delighted  to inform you that Zandra Mathieson (Broomieknowe and Comiston Ladies) has kindly accepted my nomination as Vice Captain and the MCLGA Committee has approved Zandra's appointment with immediate effect. The appointment will be formally ratified at the next committee meeting at the end of May.

Many thanks to Zandra for agreeing to take over. I know she will be an asset to the County and that she will have the full support of County members.

Junior Competition - cancelled

Regrettably the 9 hole competition planned at Swanston today (Sunday 17th March) is cancelled as the course is icy and potentially dangerous.

Silver Knock out draw

For those of you who are on the ball and clicked on the draw on the left hand of this page and found it was slightly different than the one you were sent - well spotted!  The webmaster had a senior moment!  It is now correct (I think) - so just double check you are playing the right opponent!

MCLGA v. Border Ladies

Our annual match against Border Ladies took place on Sunday 10th March at Eyemouth Golf Club

Our team :
                               Wendy Nicholson and Emily Dalgetty
                               Hannah Scott and Jessica Dalgetty
                                Kate McIntosh and Heather Laing
                                Linda Bain and Kirsty Burgess
                                Julia Smith and Anna Massey

It was snowing when we left Edinburgh but we arrived to a clear but windy  Eyemouth.
It didn't take long before the first snow flakes appeared but the girls survived the first snow storm playing some remarkable golf considering the conditions. Special congratulations to our juniors who seemed remarkably unphased by the weather.
With the second snow storm looming and Wendy waving the white flag as she braved the 9th fairway into the teeth of the gale we decided to call a halt.

Thanks to Eyemouth for their hospitality - hot soup has never been more welcomed.

Midlothian were 3 ties to 1 up when we concluded play and we look forward to welcoming Gillian and her team to Midlothian next year in hopefully better conditions.
