See you all Sunday.

Many thanks to Jean for leading her team on the day.

THE HALDEN CUP 2025 SUNDAY 10TH AUGUST

 A big thank you to everyone who played in this year's Halden Cup.  The weather was relatively kind and it was a most enjoyable day.  The ladies were victorious, again, this year with a 4.5 to 3.5 win over the gents.  Hopefully we can keep up our winning streak next year.  Well done!

FINAL GREENLEES MATCH

A very pleasant, sunny day at Cathkin Braes yesterday. And a very pleasant surprise to most of us with the result. We lost 5-4 but, all things considered, 4 points was a pretty good haul.

We finish the season on 42.5 points. This is really a fantastic effort from the team, playing in Division 1.

We are currently top of the league - although this is akin to being Leader in the Clubhouse on the PGA tour with the final 3 groups still to finish. Some teams still have three matches to play and points to accrue! But we will take it. Undoubtedly safe from relegation, so Division 1 again next year.

Well played to all the team, and well done once again to Anne Judge for arranging it all so well, as usual. Our schedule of 2 matches in May, 2 in June, 2 in July, and 2 in August was well spread and we were lucky none had to be rearranged. I'm sure she will just love to do it all again in 2026!
