There is a proposal to organise sociable, fun games on a Monday late-morning during the winter (everyone welcome). Tee-offs around 11-11.30am with those who wish maybe having a coffee in the clubhouse beforehand.
This will be arranged via a What's App group and Agnes Williamson has kindly agreed to be the point of contact. If you would be interested in joining this group, please contact Agnes by mobile or email agnesmwill59@gmail.com so she can gauge numbers.
Happy winter golfing!
Congratulations to all the Greenlees team members for a great season, finishing top of the Second Division! The team will be promoted back to the First Division. Thanks to Anne Judge for captaining the team. Good luck next year!
For those who would be interested we will try and set up a game on Wednesday mornings during the winter. The format would be entering on the dates available for the month; draw would be done indicating the person who would book; hopefully mainly in threes. When the draw is done if you are not available you would let the person booking know.
16 couples enjoyed pleasant weather and great course condition.
Winners: Alison Templeton & Lilas Lamont (30) 37 points (bih)
Joint Runners-up: Rosemary Ogilvie & Vicky Rennie (26) and Anne Judge & Pat Pennel (17)

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.
