Saturday 6th July 2024 saw our club host the Musselburgh Challenge. A hickory competition held over 9 holes with invited teams from some of our neighbours but also from some of The Open host clubs. This year saw 12 teams including the R&A Golf Club of St Andrews and Prestwick who together with our course were the 3 original venues of the Open. Other clubs that were based at the course Bruntsfield Links and Royal Musselburgh also took part. After a very competitive competition the winners were a team from the Thorntree GC as seen above with the trophy. The Thorntree are a club within the Royal Musselburgh GC. The victory was by one shot from the runners up a team from Leith Rules as seen below.
