The US Kids Tournament returned to East Lothian with The Glen hosting two age groups, 12 and 14 year olds. The competition took place over three days, the 28, 29 and 30 May culminating in a horribly wet final day's competition. It was a challenging day for all those competing, but yet again their resilience shone through. The best and most consistent scoring was achieved by 12 year old Sebastian Desoisa from Gibraltar who shot rounds of 71, 70 and 72 for a 3 under total of 213. While the top 14 year old, Alex Lynch from the United States trailed the European by 5 shots with rounds of 74, 67 and 77 for a total of 218.
12 Year Old Age Group Winner - Sebastian Desoisa from Gibraltar

Nancy Thorne and Ann Nimmo represented the Glen at the SGU Regional Medal Finals after qualifying last season as overall winners of the SGU silver and bronze medals played over the season.
They played on Friday 3rd May at Haddington and both came third in their respective divisions. They will now go through to the Grand Final to be played on the Eden Course at St Andrews in June. A fantastic double.
Congratulations to Nancy and Ann and good luck for the final.
We will be having electrical testing carried out on 8th and 9th May 2019, both in the clubhouse and the shop. This will cause some disruption to all services.
The kitchen will close at 3pm on 8th.
Credit card and till functions may also be disrupted.
Please bear with us during this essential maintenance.
The Monthly Midweek Medal is open to all members and the date is on both the Ladies and Gents Freetime calendar to serve as a reminder. It is the second Tuesday of every month.
Booking is made through the starter.
Please indicate to the Starter that you are playing in the competition and ensure that your card is clearly marked with the name of the competition (Monthly Midweek Medal), date, current handicap and signed before returning.
The next competition is on 14th May and not 7th May as previously indicated on Freetime.
