Rachel Hanlon East Girls' Champion 2009

Championship Final - Match Report

With our thanks to Maggie here is a detailed report of this years exciting Final :-

Rachel won the 1st but Kate levelled at the 2nd. Kate then went one ahead at the fourth. Rachel won the 6th but Kate again went one ahead at the 7th with a birdie 3. At the eighth Rachel’s drive found the trees but she managed to save par and win the hole when Kate bogeyed. The match was all-square at the turn.

At the eleventh Rachel won with a birdie 2 to go one up. She remained so until the 14th when she went another one ahead however Kate immediately fought back by winning the 15th. The 16th and 17th were halved.

With Rachel one up, Kate’s drive found the trees and she had a difficult approach shot which nearly reached the green. However with Rachel close in two, Kate eventually conceded the hole and Rachel won the match by 2 holes.

Congratulations to both girls on an exciting, final which was a pleasure to watch
Maggie

Rachel Hanlon ( St Regulus ) took the title of the East of Scotland Girls' Champion today at Kingsknowe Golf Club, Edinburgh after beating Kate McIntosh (Broomieknowe) in a very close final. On a day that once again was threatened with heavy rain and thunder storms the girls produced some excellent golf.

The first of the morning semi - final matches saw Rachel sink a good number of birdie putts to beat Alison Goodwin (Glenbervie) by 6/4. Kate in the other semi-final match was up against Gabrielle Macdonald(Craigielaw) who has been in very good form recently. Kate found herself 4 up with 4 holes to play , however Gabrielle had a good fight back winning the 15th and 16th however could not keep that up and Kate took the match on the 17th.

Rachel will now go forward looking to take the East Girls Championship Title for the first time.

As the end of the season approaches....

As the end of the season approaches I personally would like to firstly thank all the girls for supporting the ESGGA by playing in the competitions and for representing the East Girls in the matches against the West and the South Girls. It has been a great year and both Maggie and I look forward to seeing you all next year.

Secondly , a big thank you to all the parents for supporting the girls .

Here's just a wee story to emphasise what parents have to do , or go through to allow the girls to play the game of golf !!!

An ESGGA Mum who probably would like to remain unnamed took her children who are all golfers to their prizegiving. On their way home the family took a short cut across the golf course , in the dark . The Mum unfortunately found a bunker to fall into. The family had a chuckle to themselves and upon reaching home asked the question
' Mum , did you remember to rake the bunker ?'

So to all the Mums & Dads who make lots of scarifices for their children - A Very Big Thankyou !

Girls - Keep up the practice in the winter.

See you next year.

Mandy

Rachael is the new East Girls Champion .

Rachael Watton of Mortonhall, won the East Girls' Championship today beating Gabrielle Macdonald of Craigielaw in the Final by 4&3. To reach the final Rachael beat Nicola Taylor of Thornton by 2 holes and Gabrielle beat Gillian Simpson of Murrayfield on the 19th hole. The conditions the girls had to play in all day could not have been any worse. It never stopped raining all day.

With thanks to Maggie here is a match report of the final.

' The standard of golf was excellent throughout the final in spite of heavy rain and very wet conditions underfoot.
Gabrielle won the first but Rachael got back on level terms with a birdie at the 2nd. Rachael edged ahead by winning holes 4&5 but Gabrielle had a birdie at the 8th to reduce the deficit to one. Rachael was 1 up at the turn.
Rachael won the 10th with a birdie 3 and then went 3 up at the short 11th . The next two holes were halved. Gabrielle lost the 14th after trouble off the tee which meant a penalty shot and she eventually conceded the hole for Rachael to go 4 up.
At the par 3 15th both girls had excellent tee shots over the burn to the green. Rachael secured her par however Gabrielle just missed a birdie 2 for the match to continue.
Well done to both girls for playing such good golf. Rachael is a worthy champion.

We would like to thank Craigmillar Park Golf Club for the courtesy of the course for our Championship this year. We are grateful for all the help we received in rearranging the matches which had to be postponed earlier in the month.

Well done to all the girls who played in this year's championship and thanks to all the parents and supporters who watched today in such unpleasant conditions.

With thanks to the good old Scottish summer weather the East Girls's Championship was abandoned due to thick fog/mist. The Summer Meeting had been delayed for four hours and as a result only 8 holes of the first match play rounds were played. The girls arrived the following morning only to find the course unplayable . It was agreed by everyone that the girls would complete their first round ties in their own time and a new date would be set for the semi-finals and final.

However six singles matches went ahead and were contested in great spirit , most of the games being very close.

The West Girls beat the East by 4 games to 2
