Gullane won a very close match by 3.5 to 2.5 and this puts Gullane at the top of the League. Other scores on Sunday the 22nd April included a pulsating and nerve-wracking 3-3 draw between Longniddry and Tantallon in which EVERY match went to the last hole.

The clubgolf coaching programme has been running in Gullane for 5 years now, enthusiastically backed by a band of 12 volunteer coaches and both Gullane GC and Gullane Ladies GC who provide support and facilities. It is introduced through Gullane Primary School with every child in P5 taking part in firstclubgolf with plastic clubs and then those who are interested progressing to the real thing with regular coaching from the volunteers as well as from Gullane GC pro Alasdair Good and team. Coaching take place on Sunday at 4.15 pm for those in P5 / P6 with the pros taking over for those in P7 and beyond and running sessions on Mondays and Friday afternoons. We currently have nearly 50 children in the programme aged from 9 -14 with just as many boys as girls . Various competitions and trips are also organised including events at Craigielaw South Course, North Berwick Kids Course, Dalmahoy, Gleneagles and Muirfield for the Senior's Open in 2007.

East Lothian Council fully supports this initiative and employs Kate Green as Junior Golf Development Manager.
