The scoring was relatively high for such a calm day, but there was a highlight when Denise Cowan had a HOLE-IN-ONE at the 14th.
Reported as a 7 iron shot that was played through the bunker gap for a kick in towards the pin on the right, both Marion and Denise were not sure the ball was in the hole until they looked closely! Well done Denise 😀
This last friendly fixture of 2021 was hosted at home on a beautiful warm day with the course in excellent condition.
The Elderslie ladies enjoyed the match and our hospitality afterwards.
The match result was a very equitable half.
Many thanks to our team of Lindsay Wright, Pauline MacEwen, Fiona Christie, Morag Cunningham and Evelyn McDermid who represented the club magnificently.
Very many thanks to Jan Macnab for organising and for playing on the day with the Elderslie organiser.
If any lady wishes to take part in a friendly match in 2022 (usually 3-4 matches over the season) please let me know (cunninghammorag58@gmail.com). You can participate in as many or as few matches as you like. They are actually fun fixtures and good for match play practise in a relaxed atmosphere.

The annual match between the Lady Captains Team and the Gents Captains Team for the Halden Cup was played today.
Despite some threatening skies it stayed dry.
The result was a draw, so the Gents retain the cup having won it the last time it was played in 2019.
The finalists for this year's Club Championship are Jan Macnab and Sheila Biggart. The match will tee off at 12.30pm so please come along to support the ladies.
The Renfrewshire Ladies County Championship was played at Ranfurly Castle this week. Thanks to Craig and the greens staff for presenting the course in such a beautiful condition to show off to our visitors.
The Championship title was ultimately won by Jennifer Rankine of Haggs Castle (handicap +1) in a close match on Friday afternoon against Julie Wilson of Williamwood. Earlier, there had been a very good showing from our ladies.
Congratulations to Jan Macnab who won the Peggy Clark Cup for the best net score (73) in Wednesday's (very windy) qualifying round, just pipping Allison Murray with the better inward half.
Then, on Friday morning, Morag Cunningham won the handicap knockout final, beating Vicky Rennie at the 18th, to win the Irvine Trophy (presented 5 years ago by our own Jean Irvine).
