LADIES CAPTAIN NEWS

 As we approach the end of my tenure as Lady Captain, I am delighted to announce that Mrs Eleanor Stewart has agreed to be the Lady Captain for 2026.  Eleanor has a wealth of experience in the golfing world and has played golf for many years. This will stand her in good stead for her year as lady captain.

When I played my first ever West Renfrewshire match it was at Ralston GC and Eleanor kindly offered to walk around her childhood course with me, giving me insider information.  I wish I could tell you that I won as a result!  

Good luck for next year.
