On Sunday 6th March, 84 players from 14 Clubs from the East Lothian Winter League met at Musselburgh Old Course to compete in the 6 player team event, where three pairs of players from each club played in a greensomes, stroke-play format over 18 holes.

The winning Club would be the one with the lowest combined total score from their three pairs.

The course was in great condition with some tricky pin positions and it was Gullane GC who came out on top, winning by a single shot from Tantallon GC.

Congratulation to both teams and many thanks to everyone who helped out at Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club throughout the day.

A day to remember for Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club, Enjoy Leisure and East Lothian Council.

Yesterday, 2nd March 2022, marked the 350th Anniversary of golf first being documented as having been played on Musselburgh Old Course.

On that day, Sir John Foulis, of Ravelston, wrote :

1672   Mar 2 Lost at Golfe at Musselboorgh with Gosford, Lyon etc .. .. £3 5s 0d

This is believed to be the oldest game of golf ever recorded, on a course that is still in existence and actively played upon.

Many thanks to Sky Sports, Lewine Mair, Martin Dempster, Peter Bourhill and others who were here to cover our event.

Musselburgh Old Course Golf Club recently raised £950 for Cycle Without Age – Musselburgh.
Committee member Mark Macwhinnie and his sister Lindsey Blackley present Ewan Dawson with the proceeds                                          from their late father’s (Ronnie Macwhinnie) golf memorial cup competition against The Ship Inn, Musselburgh.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this and to those who helped out on the day.
       

Nick Edmund, a friend of the Club, will hopefully be returning to Musselburgh Old Course later in 2022.

Nick is the founder of Global Golf 4 Cancer, a remarkable global campaign whose mission is to inspire the golfing community to ‘fly the flag’ and to support cancer fighters and cancer charities worldwide.

The GG4C flag has now flown on all six continents, and we will be delighted when it once again files on the 4th green at Musselburgh Old Course later in the year.

During his Scottish golf-walk in November 2018, Nick visited Musselburgh Old Course and played the iconic Mrs Formans 4th hole, as pictured above.
