This Sunday I am looking forward to seeing you at the Par-tea for RCGC ladies section. The event is due to commence at 3pm. Please ensure that you have paid Leanna £14.95 your par-tea.
There is no specific dress code for the day but smart casual is suitable. Hopefully the proseco will flow and the treats will be tasty.
See you all Sunday.
The annual Pooh Putter competition took place this morning between the Captain's team and a Past Captain's team, headed by Jean Irvine. The weather held out long enough for most of us to finish our games before the rain really started. Many thanks for everyone who was able to play today.
The match was very close this year, with the Captain's team winning by 4 matches to 3.

A very exciting match was played today between Denise Cowan & Roisin Black. A large number of the ladies section followed the match until its conclusion.
The match was decided on the 17th hole with Roisin winning 2 and 1. Well done to both finalists for a fantastic display of golf.
Thank you also to both caddies, Jan & Allison and to Agnes & Kate for refereeing on the day.
A reminder that Sunday 24th is Club Finals Day and the Lady finalist will tee off at 12.30pm.
Roisin Black and Denise Cowan would appreciate as many of you as possible out in support and we wish them both the very best of luck and good weather on the day.
What a fun format. It would be nice to play with some "aid" every game. Well done to everyone who took part today. I will confirm the amount raised in the next few days. Thank you to Agnes and Anne Robinson for their input in organising.

WINNING TEAM Roisin, Lilias & Karin 72pts (BIH)
SECOND TEAM Jan, Vivien & Eileen 72pts
The charity for this event was the Macular disease society, a charity which does great work in Scotland & UK to support those people with the condition. Thank you all for your generosity.
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!
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!
Ladies the entry Poster in the Locker Room will be coming down shortly to allow the required admin to be completed. We have a good entry so far which is great.
If you have not yet added your name please get in touch with me should you wish to be part of this fun morning......... with a slightly different approach...
More details with the format will follow once the teams have been decided. 😊

The team played the final home game of the season this afternoon, against Kilmarnock Barassie. A good 6-3 win, which puts us in what appears to be a safe position in the league (it is hard to predict outcomes at this stage as several teams still have about half their matches to play).
Our final 2025 match will be next Monday, away at recent league winners Cathkin Braes. This will be a tough challenge but we can only go and try our best. Fingers crossed for a nice day and lots of luck.

This year our Ladies Triam got off to a very warm & sunny start. I hope the rain in the afternoon did not catch out too many players. There was a great attendance from a variety of different clubs.
A big thank you to Marion Munro for organising the event and putting together her team of starters, check-in girls and results checkers. The event would not be a success without all your help.
Many thanks to all our spot prize sponsors and to everyone who generously donated items for the raffle prizes. The raffle raised a fantastic sum of £366, which will be added to the toilet fund.
On the day we received numerous compliments about the course conditions, the clubhouse and the lunch menu. Thank you to Craig & all the greens staff for getting the course looking so good. A final thank you to Leanna and the catering team for an excellent menu offering.
All results with be posted in due course.
