Spring meeting at Gullane no 2 course - 26th April 2009
The results were as follows:
Gross Net Score
Brian Allison 77 70 Winner of Gold Medal on better last 3
Alistair McGlynn 77 70 Winner of Silver Medal
Douglas Zuill 79 74
Dave Marshall 83 74
Iain Lamond 87 79
Jason Parrott 87 74
John Young 87 83
Logan Brown 94 76
Bill Uttley NR NR

Thanks to all those who played, especially to Logan for making the long journey north. Also special mention to John Young who managed a very creditable score despite having to relearn to play much of his golf left handed due to a back injury.

Seniors v Wayfarers Over 50s at Prestwick
We were represented in this annual match by John Pauling and Keith Sinclair, who have represented EAGC in this "friendly" match for some years under the overall guidance of Morton Dewar who makes sure they have the date in their diaries! I understand that the Seniors were victorious this year.

Cyril Gray at Worplesdon - late June 2009
It has to be reported that a strong team on paper had a bad golf-day on the Thursday and contrived to get knocked out of the main competition by Stowe and out of the plate competition by Berkhamsted. This was mitigated partially by four of the team having an excellent day on Friday playing at New Zealand and Swinley Forest. The team was: - Bruce Graham, Iain Macdonald, Ken Hannah, John Lang, John Crawford and Morton Dewar.
Wayfarers Over 50s at Muirfield
The team needed to have a high HCEG content in order to keep the costs down and consisted of:- Bruce Graham Iain Macdonald Andrew Gray John Lang John Crawford Stuart Allison We qualified in top spot for the knock-out phase on the Sunday, but were pipped at the post with Loretto beating us in the Final when our number one couple of Iain and Andrew took the match to the 20th hole.

Forthcoming event - EAGC Dinner & Trophy Awards
The annual golf club dinner will be held in the Bruntsfield Links Club house in November.

Round 2: Lost to Charterhouse 3 / 2 When David Simson & Iain Smith defeated a current England internationalist in winning their game 3&2, and Olly Lindsay & Michael Gray won their game at the 18th green, the stage was set for Colin McClung & Chris Tugwell in the second game to try and win the vital third point. Standing in the middle of the 18th fairway, watching the rest of the team congratulate Olly and Michael win the top match, Colin and Chris knew now that with the match standing at 2 wins each it was all down to their game. Having never been down the whole way round the game was poised at all square after nail-biting halves in par at the 16th & 17th, both holes played into a stiffening westerly wind. In front of a gathering crowd the 18th was halved so it was into extra holes to decide who progressed to the third round. Unfortunately for Accies neither Colin or Chris could reproduce the brilliant golf that had got them to the verge of a memorable victory and a relieved Charterhouse pairing of Mark Benka and Tim Torgill came out winners. Pairings Result 1. Olly Lindsay & Michael Gray Won 1 up 2. Colin McClung & Chris Tugwell Lost at 19th 3. David Simson & Iain Smith Won 3 & 2 4. Ken Hannah & Johnny McGlynn Lost 4 & 3 5. Steve Malcolm & James Bryce Lost 6 & 5 Round 1: Defeated City of London 5 / 0 Pairings Result 1. Olly Lindsay & Michael Gray Won 5 & 4 2. Steve Malcolm & James Bryce Won 5 & 4 3. David Simson & Iain Smith Won 1 up 4. Colin McClung & Chris Tugwell Won 7 & 6 5. Ken Hannah & Johnny McGlynn Won 6 & 5 Congratulations need to go to the EAGC captain, Michael Baxendine, for leading and supporting the team during the week, especially since this was his first experience of the unique atmosphere and pressure the tournament creates.
