Marjory Lauder recaps the match for us below; not a day for lots of photos by the sound of things but click here for a flavour of the day!!
'Big Bertha ' took on a new meaning as the teams huddled beside the starters hut on Gullane No. 2 before the East v West match on Tuesday 12th August. (So much for the "Glorious 12th" from the point of view of weather!)
Having kitted our team out with team jumpers the jumpers were quickly concealed under waterproofs. The wind gusted and the rain rained. Was it a 3 club wind or even a 10 club wind?
The Lothian Boys were playing on No. 3 course and UNDER 12s were about to start.
We could not be outdone and felt obliged to continue with our matches.!
Clare Bowe was drafted in at the last moment and suggested that we could curtail our matches to 14 holes if the weather became worse.(cutting out 10 to 13 )
Team Captains Marion Stewart and Marjory Lauder decided to meet the matches at the 9th green and assess the situation! However the 1st match were happy to continue over 18 holes as they were coping with the wind. Decision made! Onwards played the Vets from East and West. The rain did ease at times but the wind persisted.
All the players enjoyed their games ---winners or losers. The individual scores are listed below (East names first) with a fine home win for the East Vets by 5 -0.

There was plenty chat.
