LUNCH TIME BALLOTS

Lunch time ballots seem to be causing some confusion and the following will hopefully clarify the situation.
If you intend playing in the lunch time ballot, you should notify the pro shop. A ballot will take place, the silver players going out first followed by the bronze, as has always been the case. This is not a time sheet. The advantage of contacting the pro shop is that you will be able to find out if anyone else is playing in the afternoon. If not, you at least have the opportunity to try and get a playing partner. This arrangement is not ideal, but depleted player numbers make it the best option. The afternoon ballot should be the norm but does not preclude anyone wishing to play 'by arrangement' if they find their circumstances make this impossible. We are trying something new and often change takes time to get used to. I feel we have to give this a reasonable trial period. We no longer have committee member numbers to accommodate the previous procedure.

Denise with D&A County Champion Anne Laing
Many congratulations are due to Denise Cowan who was part of the Renfrewshire County team who took part in the above from 15th  - 17th June.
On Monday she won 3/2 in her singles match against Lanarkshire. Tuesday saw her half her singles match against Dumbarton and Argyll County Champion Anne Laing and on Wednesday morning she lost in the foursomes against Ayrshire. However, in the afternoon she came back from 3 down to half her match at the 18th.

LADIES DAY SATURDAY 13TH JUNE 2015 - GRAEME AND MORVEN ARE WINNERS

Morven and Graham - Ladies Day Winners

Ladies day winners Morven McLeod and Graham Taylor with Lady Captain Vicky Rennie.
27 couples took part in windy cool conditions but the weather didn't spoil the day which was enjoyed by all. In some cases it was a game of two halves. After visiting the drinks tent at the 10th one couple, having scored 22 pts on the way out, scored 7 on the way in! The buffet immediately after play proved popular and was good value.
The winners were Morven McLeod and Graeme Taylor with 37 pts.

West Renfrewshire League Win

Congratulations to the West Renfrewshire League team of Mary Craig, Maureen Cook, Jan Macnab, Vivien Howe, Mary Hardie and Gillian Donaghy who tonight managed to pull off the trick we have been struggling with for 3 years - an Away Win at Renfrew. The whole evening was surprisingly pleasant with dry, calm conditions and the Renfrew course not as muddy as it has been in the past. Special mention must go to Gillian who won her match on the first occasion she has played on any course other than Ranfurly Castle, but well played everyone.
