Freya Constable wins the Midlothian County Championship

 

Freya Constable

From the Midlothian Website 

The Midlothian County Championship Final was s the younger generation final between Freya Constable  (Prestonfield) and Emma Morrison (Gullane) who both sped round 17 holes in 2 hours without it affecting their golf. 

Freya got off to a head start from the 1st hole and would continue to lead most of the way. Emma was hot on her heels in the front 9 but Freya had the edge in the back 9. 

A couple of missed opportunities from Emma with short putts at 13 and 14, which, if made, could have resulted in all square through 14, let Freya lead by 2 holes. Freya looked comfortable with her lead but Emma came right back at her with a magical eagle 3 at the 16th. 

Freya stepped aside to give Emma the honour on the tee and they both reached the 17th green in 2. Freya looking for a half would let her first putt slide by the hole by 5 feet, but as cool as a cucumber she stepped up without any fuss and slotted the return putt to win 2/1.  

The Champion necklace was presented on the 17th green to Freya by previous (2019) Champion Louise Fraser. Well done to both players getting to The Championship Final, a fabulous achievement by the youngsters and congratulations to Freya Constable, The Midlothian 2021 Champion.

SCOTLAND MOVE TO LEVEL 3 ON MONDAY 26th APRIL

Following this week's announcement by the First Minister, Scottish Golf welcomes confirmation that mainland Scotland will be entering Level 3 on Monday 26th April.

We have received final approval from our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government on our updated guidance which is available here. 

Our updated guidance means that from Monday 26th April, the following changes will take place:

• Adults living in Level 3 or Level 4 areas may leave their local authority area to participate in informal exercise and organised sport that starts and finishes in the same place.
• Clubhouse facilities may open.
• All indoor hospitality may operate until 20.00, allowing 6 people from 2 households to meet. No alcohol is permitted.
• All outdoor hospitality may resume. Groups may consist of up to 6 people from 6 households. Alcohol may be served, and licensing times apply.

Clubs should note that the Scottish Government has issued updated guidance, available here, with additional precautions for hospitality venues. The guidance highlights that hospitality venues should gather contact details for all their customers – not just for the lead member of each group.

We know that 26th April is a date that will have been circled in the diaries of both golf clubs and golfers across Scotland for some time now, and we are delighted that we can continue to make progress out of lockdown. We would remind everyone to continue to follow the latest guidance and take the required precautions to ensure we can continue to benefit from these new relaxations.

Please note that detail for all other levels remains indicative at this stage and could be subject to further relaxation or change. You can continue to keep up to date on all the latest COVID-19 updates on our dedicated webpage here. 

Kind regards,
Karin Sharp, Chief Operating Officer, Scottish Golf.

Zibby Brown is the new Aberdeenshire County Selector

Aberdeenshire Ladies' County Golf Association is delighted to announce that Zibby Brown (pictured) has accepted their invitation to be our County team selector.

Zibby is replacing Laura McLardy who stood down last year. It was disappointing for Laura to miss out on the opportunity to end her second term in the role with a successful Jamboree – and optimistically County Finals. 

She also lost out on the chance to learn more by working alongside Laura, benefitting from her substantial knowledge and experience of selecting, including when Aberdeenshire won the Scottish finals at Kilmacolm in 2018.
