East Lothian children at the clubgolf Team Championship

East Lothian clubgolf Team Championship success

So popular with local children was last year’s inaugural East Lothian clubgolf Team Championship – staged on an early season day at Craigielaw Golf Club - that a bigger competition returned to the Club this spring.

A bumper entry of 69 children signed in for the second installment, this time held over two days.  The event, supported by clubgolf volunteer coaches, Active Schools Co-ordinators and parents, was sponsored by Hart Builders, who donated prizes.

The children, who have are all experiencing clubgolf at local clubs signed up to the national junior golf strategy, took part in a Scramble, a chipping competition and quiz.

Day 1 winners:  Jossie Campbell (Gullane GC), Richard Foulner (North Berwick GC), Duncan McLean (Gullane GC)
      
Day 2 winners:  Oliver Ladbroke (Craigielaw GC), Michael McKinnon (Haddington GC), Paul Todd and Robbie Wood (Fisherrow GC)  

“This was a fantastic opportunity for the children and we are delighted that so many decided to take part,” said East Lothian Junior Golf Co-ordinator, Kate Green.  

“This event was achievable thanks to Craigielaw who kindly gave us use of their facility and Hart Builders who donated the prizes. In East Lothian we are very fortunate to have unfaltering support from adult volunteers consisting of club members, parents and grandparents. All give their time to ensure that the children are welcomed into the sport of golf."
