CHARITY YELLOW BALL STABLEFORD - 18th SEPTEMBER 2013

BBC Weather promised us blue sky at least for our Yellow Ball and to be fair patches of blue did appear from time to time, interspersed with horizontal rain and a wind straight from the Steppes.

The course was looking good and playing well but from time to time small groups of  ladies were to be seen shuffling about in the rough, heads down, concentrating intently on finding something hidden or perhaps mislaid!!

The charity stablefords are always very much enjoyed by those taking part and as long as the weather more or less behaves, they are worth doing and the committee are very appreciative of your support.

Four yellow balls were lost this year - one more than 2012.

Winners -  Mary Craig : Ann Nicoll : Pamela Wilson - 61 pts and a better inward half.      
Runners - up - Rosemary Ogilvie: Mary Irving : Joy Mcleod  - 61 points.

The amount raised was £92.00 and Sheila's chosen charity is Quarriers.

DENISE WINS THE RENFREWSHIRE COUNTY ROSEBOWL

Denise Cowan -- 2013 County Rosebowl Champion (Photo courtesy of Jean Irvine)

The Final of the RLCGA County Rosebowl was played at Haggs Castle GC on Friday 13th in what can only be described as a 'dreich day' between County Captain Maureen Woodhead (Gourock) and Denise Cowan (Ranfurly Castle) .

 Denise had 3 birdies to be 4 up after 8, however Maureen chipped in at the 9th to be 3 down at the turn and got the game back to 2 down at the 11th.

The 12th was halved despite Maureens caddy (Jean Irvine, county secretary!!!!!!) having her phone on and ringing loudly!
 Maureen's drive went out of bounds on the 13th to let Denise go 3 up. The 14th and 15th were halved and Maureen won the 16th to go 2 down. Denise then halved the 17th to win the match 2/1.

WELL DONE DENISE -- A GREAT VICTORY
