SUMMER MEETING - IN SUNSHINE

Luckily for our members playing at Haddington GC on 7th June in the Summer Meeting, we escaped the threatened storms although there was some thunder rumbling in the distance for a while. No rain, no wind .... what would that mean for ladies who have become used to battling the elements as well as the golf course?!


Barbara  Biggart (North Berwick) certainly enjoyed the warm, sunny conditions posting a scratch 79, net 72 off her handicap of 7 - the best scratch and net scores of the day. Pat Meikle (Lochend) also had a net 72 (gross 88); six ladies had net 74s and quite a few ladies played in their buffer zones. Congratulations to all who didswell since, as the rest of the field will bear witness, Haddington golf course held many challenges and there were several tales of woe about bunkers, bushes and other hazards wrecking scorecards!!!


The  results of the competition which was also our Championship qualifying (see separate post for details of who is playing in the quarter finals) are as follows:


Silver handicap
1.  Barbara  Biggart (North Berwick) 79 (7) 72 (bih)
