Standard Scratch Score 73

We are delighted to have this fixture once again on Monday 29th August. The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers have kindly allowed 14 of our Junior members to play on Muirfield on a courtesy basis. It is the Top Ranked Course in the UK (Golf World) and one of the best in the World.

We have selected those to play on the basis of commitment & performances in team matches, medals, junior opens and national events.

Participants detailed below

Here are the plans for the evening

1. First tee off is 4.30pm SHARP.  The Captain of HCEG Michael Walker will be there to meet us.

2. Everyone should be there for for 4.10pm. We won't be using the Clubhouse so please turn up in your golf clothes, including shoes. Please wear Gullane team kit if you have it - otherwise please be smartly turned out. 

3. Please bring other shoes.When you finish your round please wait and watch the others coming in - leaving your bag in front of the Clubhouse

4. We will play in twos and pairings will be finalised on the evening. It will be a medal round, counting for handicap. Cards will be provided ! Please play as speedily as you can as the light is starting to fade by 8pm ! Watch out for the rough and bunkers - you need to think your way round this course !! Take your medicine from both. Some of the long par 4s are very tough and there is no shame in taking a 5 on some of these.

5. May I suggest that everyone has a look, in advance, at the Muirfield website . It contains a course guide and please also read the History section. I think AG also has course guides for sale. See if you can spot Tom Grey's mother !?

6. SHOOT- OUT  We have decided that everyone should be able to compete on a level scratch basis on the night. So this becomes an end of season shoot-out !! Will the lower handicappers have the skill to hold off the younger and fast improving whippersnappers who might fancy their chances ?  Will our quality girls see off the boys ? Most of all have fun and enjoy the experience and represent Gullane well.
