RESULTS
OF THE BRIGHT, BREEZY BUT BITTERLY COLD SPRING MEETING
No
weather delays, hardly any call-offs and the 2013 Spring Meeting was played
over Gullane No. 3 as scheduled on 9 April.
Eighty five ladies teed off and
some shook off the winter’s rust better
than others. Gullane No 3 posed quite a
tricky challenge with fast running greens leading to more than a few three
putts and a few de-greenings (as the TV commentators call putts that run off the green). Judging
approaches to greens, especially when playing downwind and over greenside
bunkers, was certainly not easy whilst the aforementioned bunkers proved
card-wreckers for a number of players (don’t ask the Vice-Captain!).
As ever,
some players defied the weather and treachery of greens and bunkers to post not
just respectable scores but positively good ones! Very well done to those
ladies mentioned below for their good scores.

scratch winner : Elinor Blair * 77

Away
players (i.e. non-members of Gullane Ladies) will be delighted to learn that
their CSS is Reduction Only so no increase to your handicaps for today’s round.
The CSS
for members of Gullane increased to 71 proving that at least for a few players
there was some home advantage! (Gullane members marked with an asterisk above)
Finally
well done to the eight ladies who recorded twos on their cards: Janet
Fairweather, Linda Grieve, Alice Jack, Kate Johnston, Christine Simpson,
Dorothy Thomson, Ros Thoresen and Maureen Woodward.
