East Lothian held the qualifying round of their County Championship at Dunbar on Monday 26th April on a day which was bright, occasionally showery but for most, Dunbar's normal windy self. The damage that the golf course incurred in the storms of a few weeks ago, is still visible in places, especially around the boat-house - pictured above before the sea ventured a little too close. The 14th hole and immediately before it looks more like the bermuda grass of Mediterranean climes in February - it is quite brown. And in many of the seaward holes, the chances of a wayward shot in the wind veering off to the beach seem that little bit more inviting. All adds to the charm. It's only thanks to the greenstaff and many willing members that the course was in the condition that the ladies found it.
Quite a number of East Vets ladies took part and Moira Thomson of Gullane won second handicap with a splendid nett 75. The scratch winner Fiona Prior was unable to play in the match-play stage of the championship and consequently Moira became first seed. She will play F. Playfair in the first round. Other vets who have qualified are Elinor Blair, Barbara McIntosh, Jane Herd and Barbara Biggart.
