East Vets v Midland Vets @ Glenbervie GC on Tuesday 14th May 2019

What a glorious day for the East v Midland match at Glenbervie GC - brilliant sunshine and very little wind. The course,with its stunning view from the first tee, was in beautiful condition. The match was, like last year, very close with the remaining 3 matches on the course all 1 up going up the 18th. Unfortunately it was not enough to win the match which ended 4:3 to Midland Vets.

Claire Cappocci won 3/2 v Susan Rennie

Karen Burns halved with Caroline Johnstone 

Gillian Wallace won 3/2 v Morag Wardrop

Elsie Hutcheon halved with Sal Shepherd

Sally Hebden lost 2 down to Linda Caine

Sarah Walker lost 8/7 to Fiona Ford

Lyn Fleming won 5/4 v Jane Herd.

Thanks to Margaret Tough and the Midland team for a very enjoyable day which was rounded off with a lovely meal in the clubhouse.

East Vets v British Seniors Men @ Elie GC on Thursday 16th May

It was a glorious sunny day for the annual match against the British Men's Seniors Team. As always we were treated to a warm welcome and lovely lunch before the competition. One gentleman even travelled all the way up from Harrogate just to play in this match!

The course was in fantastic condition and the views across the Forth were stunning. Playing off the men's tees (albeit we get extra strokes) is always a challenge but unfortunately the wind caused havoc for the ball in the air as well as on the putting greens.The British Seniors were victorious in all 6 matches. 

Results aside, everyone who participated had a most enjoyable day which was finished off with tea/coffee and scones before heading home.

Team matches:

Chris Underwood & Jim Patrick bt Ruth Brown & Moyra Statham 4/2
Peter Rhodes & Tony Fasson bt Dulcie Barnes & Jean Bryden 1 up
Andrew Gray & Alastair Kerr bt Anne Rorrison & Ellice Cackett 4/3
Richard Muckart & Spencer Patrick bt Dianne Brown & Margaret Goldberg 3/2
Alan Mackie & Alan Williamson bt Irene Stewart & Elsa Todd 3/2
Fraser Mills & John Duncan bt Jan Laing & Carole Mason 5/3

Many thanks to The British Seniors Men's team for a very enjoyable day.
Thanks also to Elie Golf Club and their caterers.

The sight of a submarine periscope towering almost 10m above the starter’s hut at Elie is one of the more unusual spectacles in world golf. At the end of April 2014 the periscope took up its new home in the newly built Starters' Office. The periscope was salvaged from HMS Excalibur in 1966 and was presented to the club by member Gavin Reekie.It gives the starter a perfect view over the hill at the first hole and having made sure the group in front are well on their way, he can then safely invite golfers on the tee to ‘play away.’
