The sun shone on us from a clear sky, though of course being the east coast of Scotland near the sea, the wind was a factor. The course was in excellent condition for the time of year. Once again the match was played in the true golfing spirit, the hospitality we were given at the 19th was of the highest order. The match score was relatively incidental, but was 4½ - 1½ in favour of Musselburgh.
		We were represented by -
		Alastair Chalmers & Euan Chalmers Eddie Whoriskey & David Marshall Bob Burns & Lionel Freedman Jim Maguire & Ken Gordon Martin Fletcher & Brian Graham Douglas Foulis & Ian Thom
		Alastair and Euan gained the half point, though they were dormie-2 up. Jim and Ken were our winners.
		The return event at the Links using Hickory clubs was held on 4th July 2007 [more].
