ELJG League Championships at Kilspindie – Results, Prizes & CSS

We are trialling a new Central Database of Handicaps system which will soon notify all of our players’ Home Clubs of their scores as “away” scores and this will take into account any Net Double Bogeys etc. However, if you have had a good score, and if you might have your handicap reduced, you should do that yourself before you next play in any competition. Well done on a great days golf! Photos will appear here shortly. Full report and scores are now below. Click on “100″ to show all the scores. NOTE – the CDH system has calculated the CSS for the U12 boys from the Ladies tees as 69. This, I believe is wrong as I calculated it to be 65. and I will investigate the reason for this. In the meantime, Convenors are recommended to ensure U12 players handicaps are reduced or increased using the SSS of 66 from the mens tees. Also, the PM scores for the U18 Boys have not been entered on the system yet. [Read More...]

Mens Scottish Amateur Championships – Grant wins!

Recent EL Junior Grant Forrest of Craigielaw is the Scottish Amateur Champion for 2012. Held over the great links at Royal Dornoch, 19 year old Grant was an unseeded player, but he played magnificently to reach the final with some big wins on the way. In the final, over 36 holes, Grant beat Richard Docherty by 9&7. Zander Culverwell (Dunbar), and Greg Smail, also of Craigielaw, both lost narrowly in the last 16. This is a huge event to win, from 256 entrants, and Grant, I am sure, will soon be rewarded with caps at International level. The ELJGLeague congratulates Grant on winning his 3rd National title!!! For a report see the SGU website.
