We had an fantastic day on Tuesday at Luffness hosting West Lancs GC on the first leg of their Scottish tour. Luffness were kind enough to give us courtesy of the course to play the match, given that Gullane has been busy with other things. The weather was good on Tuesday ! Luffness's hospitality was splendid including an excellent lunch enjoyed by all. West Lancs made presentations to both Gullane and Luffness of their history and detailed past historic connections between the clubs - Barry Coyne is a budding Archie Baird ! Our Captain Greg Houlston spoke well on behalf of Gullane and our boys welcomed the opportunity to play another fine local course.
The visitors were taken by the fantastic golfing opportunities available in East Lothian, particularly at Gullane. A few ventured out again for some holes in the late afternoon after being impressed by what was on offer at the British Girls.
There was a high quality scratch match, 4 ball better ball, between 16 young golfers with handicaps ranging from Scratch - 10, and featuring a sprinkling of national & county players. The Gullane 4th pairing combined particularly well !
Match results
Greg Houlston & Anthony Blaney beat James Rooney & Matthew Thomson 3&1
Michael Williams & Thomas Simmonds lost to Grace Cannon & Josh Curtin 1up
Graham Swan & Scott Gillies beat Henry Gibbs & Liam Nolan 2&1

A fine "away" win for Gullane 3 -1 against a strong touring team from an excellent Club !
