Scottish Ladies’ Junior Open Stroke Play Championship 2011

Good luck to all the Midlothian girls playing in the Scottish Ladies’ Junior Open Stroke Play Championship 2011 at Cardross next week: Gillian Simpson (Elie & Earlsferry), Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe), Gabrielle Macdonald (Craigielaw), Rachael Watton (Mortonhall), Hannah Scott (Broomieknowe), Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse) and Jessica Dalgetty (Glencorse). Good luck everyone and play well!

Emily makes it to final at Glenisla

Congratulations to Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse) who, having qualified for the Ansley Reid 2nd Flight play competition at the Scottish Girls (Close) Amateur Championship at Glenisla Golf Club, made it all the way to the Final. She was beaten 2&1 this afternoon by Katie McGarva of Troon Ladies (pictured above with Emily) in a very tight match, but played great golf and can be very proud of the way she performed. Emily, who turned 14 just this week, has now reduced her handicap to 11. Happy birthday Emily and well done!

Midlothian Girls do well in Glenisla

Congratulations to Gabrielle Macdonald (Craigielaw) who finished 3rd in The Scottish Girls (Close) Amateur Championship today at Glenisla Golf Club. Gabrielle followed up a 74 yesterday with a par round of 71 today. She also won the prize for best 2nd round under 18 nett score. Emily Dalgetty (Glencorse) won prizes for the best under 14 nett scores in both rounds, with nett scores of 73 and 69.

Gabrielle qualifies for the match play championship which starts tomorrow alongside Kate McIntosh and Hannah Scott of Broomieknowe, who finished 14th and 15th respectively. Emily has qualified for the Ansley Reid 2nd Flight play competition. Good luck to you all!

Noreen is East Vets Champion

Congratulations to Noreen Fenton (Dunbar) who followed up her Scottish Seniors title by winning the East Vets Championship at Haddington on Sunday. She beat Sue Penman (Gullane) in the semi finals and Ray Lynch (Murrayfield) in the final.

Noreen will represent the East at Blairgowrie in September when competing for the Scroggie Cup.

Summer Meeting Re-arranged for Monday 22 August

Craigmillar Park Golf Club has kindly agreed to MCLGA rescheduling the Summer Meeting to Monday 22 August 2011.

To avoid any confusion, we would be grateful if you could re-enter the competition by Friday 12th August 2011. Click HERE for an entry form. Forms will also be available from your Midlothian Club rep.

If you have entered and paid, but find you are unable to play on the 22nd August your entry fee will be refunded. If you had not entered for 11 July you can still enter for 22 August using the same form, but enclosing the entry fee of £10.

Summer Meeting is Postponed!

Unfortunately due to the freak storm that hit us yesterday, the Summer Meeting has had to be postponed. Craigmillar Park was hit very badly with the burn backing up and spilling over onto the course. Although it is now draining away, it has left a lot of debris on the course, with paths being washed away on to greens and every bunker on the course in a total mess. It will just not be possible to get the course into a satisfactory condition by Monday morning, and more rain is forecast. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause. We do intend to re-arrange the competition and hope to publish the new date in the next few days - so please keep an eye on this website and/or check with your Midlothian rep. Don't you just love summer!
