Champions ...... and so to Stranraer ...... The 2015 County Finals

                                 
  
The 2015 County Finals are being held at Stranraer Golf Club from 18th until 20th September.  Midlothian will compete against Angus, Ayrshire and Dumfries-shire.  Here you can see some of our wonderful caddies in their usual supporting role - the amount of caddies and officials we have in attendance makes us the envy of other counties.  If you would like to offer your services as a caddy in Stranraer please contact me.  The distance will make going for a day very difficult so we will offer some support with accommodation or travelling expenses.  Again, thank you for supporting our county team by selling quizzes!

Hole in One!

Congratulations to Caroline Steedman who scored her first hole in one at the 17th at Liberton playing for Murrayfield in the 5 a sides.  May it be the first of many.
