Ladies, just a reminder that we are having a Fun Australian Scramble on Wednesday 22nd September.
In an Australian scramble the person hitting the shot that is selected does not play the next shot.

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).
