COACHING PROGRAMME

 Friday 25th May saw the first of a series of lessons for beginners with Professional Ethan Law.

8 ladies gathered at the short practice ground, where Ethan introduced them to methods of gripping the club, taking a stance to chip the ball and then swinging and hitting chips into baskets, at various distances.  The response was very positive from everyone and we are sure they will all return next Friday for the next instalment!

FRIENDLY V KILMACOLM HOME

Our team enjoyed a very friendly 'draw' v the Kilmacolm ladies today at the Castle. The weather was kind, and the 2 - 2 result followed by a very sociable lunch was most enjoyable. So much so, that we might be looking to add some more friendly matches to the schedule in the future! (There's still time to sign up for the Gourock away game). Many thanks to Morven for her efficient organisation.

WEST RENFREWSHIRE LEAGUE

Last night was the start of our 2024 West Renfrewshire League campaign.

The team of Jan, Eleanor, Eunice, Kate, Karin M and Alison T, managed to scrape a home win 3.5 games to 2.5 against Ralston, I am relieved to report. (The League is tight enough that if you don't win your home matches, you are practically guaranteed relegation for the following season).

The matches with Ralston are always very friendly affairs, played in good spirit and it was a lovely night for golf - which was just as well as the matches finished and everyone had to congregate at the picnic tables, the Clubhouse already being closed.

RLCGA COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP

Many congratulations to Jan who had the lowest net score of 68 in Wednesday's qualifying round at Cathcart Castle. There were 53 Ladies playing in the County Championship Qualifier and Jan has now won the Peggy Clark Cup.

In Friday's Championship final, the 12 year old golfing sensation Sabrina Wong from Cathkin Braes beat Jennifer Rankine in an amazing match in which the girls made 9 birdies between them, in the pouring rain. Incredible golf.

Meanwhile back at the Peggy Clark Cup, a fascinating review of past winners reveals not only Jan but Denise Cowan, Lesley Robertson (in both 2022 and 1995!) and ex-Ranfurly Castle and now Sky Sports celebrity, Iona Stephen, who won it 10 years ago this month.
