A beautiful day for the 90  players competing for the East of Scotland Championship hosted by Craigie law on Sunday 13th October  . This annual event rotates around the 4 counties that constitute the east Division (Midlothian, East Lothian, Stirling 7 Clackmannanshire and Fife). This year the championship was hosted by East Lothian, who we thank for the friendly and efficient welcome at the desk and during the day. The event entry fee had been subsidised by £10 per player to reduce the current small surplus held in East Division funds, this made the event even more attractive and sadly a  few members were balloted out due to over-subscription.

 

The event has two trophies, the individual East of Scotland Championship trophy, first contested in 1931 and also a team event, which is played for by each county selecting 4 players – 3 of their gross scores then form an aggregate for this competition.

The four team players for Midlothian were Rachael Livingstone (Baberton) , Nicky Graham (Baberton) , Anne Hanson(Turnhouse) and Caroline Steedman (Murrayfield).  Sadly our team of 4 lost by 6 shots to East Lothian, who won the team event for the first time.

However Midlothian players scored well and Ailsa Cackett , (4th Net) Molly Nicholson(4th Gross)  and Rachael Livingstone who scored an amazing gross 70 to win the East of Scotland Championship  for the second time! (so far!!) Well done to Rachael on another  great round of golf this season!!
