Lothians Sivewright Quaich

The Event

The Sivewright Quaich was instigated by W A W Sivewright, one of a distinguished band of people who have been President of the Lothians Golf Association (1960-62) and of the Scottish Golf Union (1966-68). He also served as Secretary of the Lothians (1951-1958). The idea for the event was in response to an increase in the subscriptions, by the SGU, for what were called non-course owning clubs at the time. (Now known as Affiliates)

The format is a handicap version of the Dispatch Trophy where four-man teams play foursomes aggregate match play in a knock-out competition during the season.

The final has been traditionally played at Prestonfield Golf Club, which was Bill Sivewright's home club.

There were 32 entires this year with the competition getting underway in May and the finalists battling through 4 rounds to reach this stage. 

Buckstone A met Thorntree at Prestonfield in the final of the Sivewright Trophy.  Defending the trophy Buckstone started well being up in both matches during the early stages of the match.  Despite briefly drawing level Thorntree never managed to wrestle the lead from Buckstone.  In the end Buckstone won 4&3 to retain the trophy. This marks a landmark as the same line up won last year’s final.
