Many congratulations to Louise Cooper who is our latest Ladies Champion.
The ladies championship final was contested by Louise Cooper & Anne Judge - Louise being a first time finalist at RCGC. Finals Day was blessed with good weather - dry, warm and very little breeze.
Anne made the best start and found herself 3up after 5 holes. The highlight was a chip in from Anne from well off the green at the 4th. Anne maintained this lead and was 3up after the front nine. After Louise holed a monster putt at the 10th the momentum was then with Louise who fought back to level the match at the 12th. Both ladies kept the watching gallery in suspense as first Anne won a hole then Louise won a hole - match all square at the 14th. 15th was halved. Anne won 16. Louise won 17. The match is now once again all square! Either lady could win!
Louise had a chance to close out the match on the18th with a short putt. But no! The putt missed. We proceed to the 1st tee to start extra holes. The watching gallery was on tenterhooks! Both ladies played the first extra hole well - Louise having a notable second shot to the edge of the green. Louise holed out to win the match at the first extra hole.
Many commiserations to Anne Judge. The match was very close, but there can only be one winner.
It was a memorable match much appreciated by the large gallery.
I felt privileged as referee to be witnessing such a fine display of golf from these two fabulous ladies.

Many thanks to the ladies who continue to turn out for our Greenlees team.
There are two recent results to report.
What a fabulous day of weather for our first invitation day since the pandemic.
Possibly too hot and sunny - I think quite a few of us were quite weary by the end of our rounds!
Our invited guests all enjoyed playing our course and a tasty lunch afterwards.

1st Prize: Helen Abram & Nicky Stirrup 44pts(bih)

The David Reid Memorial Open Mixed competition was held on Sunday 7th August. Pamela MacKenzie, Maureen Cook and Euan Templeton did an amazing job of organising a wonderful day and had a team of happy helpers to assist on the day. A very successful raffle was held with the wonderful total of £4535.00 being raised for Brain Research UK. Winning couple was Angela and Hunter Patterson, 2nd was Chris Minto and Stevie Scott and 3rd was Rosemary and Jim Ogilvie. Home course definately was an advantage it would seem!
Photos show the Winners along with Fraser Templeton and a shirt signed by Colin Montgomery which he won in the raffle - a very happy little boy.

The draw has been done for the invitation day but unfortunately we are one couple short. Would anyone reconsider and help out by entering? Failing that perhaps 2 ladies would be prepared to play together and help mark a card. Could you please contact either Morven McLeod or Karen Binning if you find you can play.
The ladies West Ren team went to Renfrew Golf Club on Thursday 28th July. The evening started off wet but improved later. Sadly the result was a loss, with Renfrew winning 4 and half matches to our 1 and half. This means that we won 2 matches and lost 2 matches but the scores will play a part in the overall results. A huge thank you to all who played in these matches.
