The fixture list includes lots of useful information about competitions for all levels of Junior Golfers i.e. Junior Opens, East Lothian Junior Golf League competitions and matches, Stephen Gallagher Foundation events in East Lothian and lots of non handicap fun comps. To improve your golf skills it is important to play in as many different competitions on different courses as often as you can. East Lothian has a wide variety of courses from links (next to the sea) to parkland (in the countryside) long (par 73) to short (par 66)! These competitions offer juniors a very affordable opportunity to gain experience of all of these variations and will help them to become well rounded golfers.
The fun competitions, in red section, are led by East Lothian Council and are a great opportunity for younger golfers to practice and learn out on the course. We are lucky to have a number of Par 3 courses in East Lothian: Musselburgh Monktonhall GC, Fisherrow Links, Seton Sands, Craigielaw GC, Gullane GC and North Berwick Golf Club.
Beginners are encouraged to attend spme coaching and practice playing round a Par 3 course before coming to a competition so they have a bit of experience. Beginners/players under 9 should be accompanied by an adult until they are confident with the basic rules, keeping score and keeping a good speed walking round the course (and carrying their bag!)
