February at Swanston with the Juniors

10 girls took part in our monthly competition on Swanston's Templar course last Sunday. It was pretty cold and a variety of cold weather gear was on show, including some very cool hats! The course was in its 6 hole layout, with temporary greens, but each hole is a bit longer than the 9 hole layout. So although this won't count towards our annual 9 hole order of merit, the results for this competition were:

Handicap
1st Lisa MacPherson 22
2nd Emma Morrison 23

Non -handicap
1st Emily Rigg 27
2nd Lucy Morrison 35
3rd Emma Lamond 42

Well done to everyone who braved the elements!

MCLGA Vice Captain

Unfortunately Caroline McIntosh has had to step down as Midlothian Vice Captain. Her work commitments have changed and as such she is not in the position to give the commitment to the County that is required of a Captain. I would like to thank Caroline for all her work and support over the past 14 months and I know how disappointed she is at having to step down. She would have made a fantastic County Captain and I am sure she will go on to fulfill this position sometime in the future.

I am however delighted to inform you that Sheila Stuart (Turnhouse) had kindly accepted my nomination as Vice Captain and the MCLGA Committee has approved Sheila's appointment with immediate effect. The appointment will be formally ratified at the next committee meeting at the end of February.

Thank you Sheila for agreeing to take over at such short notice, and I know you will be as asset to the County. I also know the County members will fully support you.
