LADY CAPTAIN'S MAY UPDATE
As we enter into a busy and hopefully glorious golfing week, my first update as Lady Captain.
Firstly warm congratulations to Anne Judge and Marion Munro for winning the County Winter Foursomes against Fiona Cameron and Jane Garvil from Cowglen. The final was played at Kilmacolm Golf Club and Anne and Marion won 4 & 3. Congratulations also go to Jan Macnab who, with Jeanette McCartney from Kilmacolm, came 2nd in the Handicap competition and 3rd in the Scratch at the recent County Foursomes at Cochrane Castle.
Today we are hosting Troon Ladies in our first Greenlees Match of the season. Good luck girls, we are all rooting for you!
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, we are welcoming Renfrewshire Ladies County Golf Association Championships. Thank you to you all for supporting our hosting of this event and in doing so giving up your Wednesday golf this week. The final tees off at 2.30 on Friday and the County Captain, our very own Jan Macnab, extends a warm welcome to those who would like to join the finalists on Friday.
A wee reminder that this Saturday, the 9th, we have our May Saturday Medal which is also a Championship Qualifier.
It is not long until our Ladies Country and Western Evening on Thursday 14 May, 18.00-20.30. Come along and join in the fun and please encourage friends and family to join us. It's a night for us girls to simply enjoy a wee bit of line dancing if you fancy and a bite to eat as a season opener for the ladies section. Thank you to Anne Judge for organising. Please book your place with Leanna.
We are also planning a Sunday Ladies Lunch through the summer. Watch this space for a date once finalised.
Tomorrow evening is our May Committee Meeting. Please do let a committee member know if there is any subject that you would like raised or discussed. Our committee members are Pauline MacEwen, Agnes Williamson, Karen Binning, Morven McLeod, Sheila Swinnerton, Anne Judge, Denise Cowan, Roisin Black and myself.
In closing, a big shout out to Pauline who won her first Silver Medal last week scoring her first ever competitive round in the 80s at the club. Pauline, you are such an inspiration to all new lady golfers, proving that hard work and dedication gets that handicap dropping and the silverware mounting in no time.
Finally, Happy Big Birthday to Carol Reid on Friday. Love and warm congratulations from us all.
Enjoy your golf, ladies!

Congratulations to Anne and Marion who won the Renfrewshire Ladies Winter Foursomes final today at Kilmacolm GC.
It was a beautiful, sunny day and Anne and Marion beat Fiona Cameron and Jane Gravil (Cowglen) 4&3, playing very well and especially showcasing (not surprising) excellent short-game skills.
Well done, a great start to the season for the Ranfurly Castle ladies.
