    Story

    I am a member of Comiston Ladies, a small ladies golf club who play at the Braids golf course in Edinburgh. The golf course is owned by Edinburgh City Council and managed by the Edinburgh Leisure Organisation on their behalf. This puts Comiston in a unique position compared to other local golf clubs as we are not afforded courtesy of the course for competition days but have to pay Edinburgh Leisure for the use of the course. Each year, the ladies from the Edinburgh golf clubs compete for the prestigious Morison Miller trophy. This is contested at a different golf course every year , of the competing clubs. This is decided by alphabetical order and therefore it will be the turn of Comiston Ladies to host the event iin July 2021. This will involve around 19 clubs with approximately 32 teams of four competing on the day, who will also be accompanied by caddies to assist the players who have to play two rounds in one day . This puts a significant financial burden on a small club with no additional support except from the lady members. Comiston last hosted the competition 20 years ago, before austerity affected Councils budgets and who perhaps would have been an obvious source of funding for us. Sadly this is no longer an option and we now have to appeal to a wider audience to help us fulfill our target for funding which will be required to cover green fees for the main event and also practice rounds for the visiting teams. All monies raised will be used for the event and is being supplemented by additional fundraising events which are already ongoing. We are committed to ensuring the continuance of Comiston's involvement in this competition in 2021 and already looking at how we can prepare for the next 20 years when it comes around again .
