The Musselburgh Amateur Competition was played over Friday 5th September for Seniors and Juniors, and Saturday 6th for the main competition over our beloved course. The Committee of the competition realising the significance of it being the 100th playing agreed that it should be at our course to host it. Entrants must either be a member of the 3 Musselburgh Courses, a resident of Musselburgh or employed in Musselburgh. With a large entry it was pleasing that the overall winner was one of our own, Ross Noon. Ross is seen being presented by councillor Andy Forrest, who is a Committee member. Not only was it a good round to win, Ross equalled the course record of 65, with the second place carding a 66, great shooting guys.
Each entrant received a medal because of the occasion.
The handicap winner was also a MOCGC member and one of our youngest members, Greig McVean. His net score of 65 giving him the trophy by one shot.
The club nearly made it 3 out of 3 but in the Seniors David Hill from Royal Musselburgh narrowly beat our Eddie Whoriskey by one shot
A huge round of thanks have to go to the organising committee of which Alan Tweedie was our representative. All those that volunteered over the two days, our Chef John McFeely for feeding everyone etc.
