As we approach the end of my tenure as Lady Captain, I am delighted to announce that Mrs Eleanor Stewart has agreed to be the Lady Captain for 2026. Eleanor has a wealth of experience in the golfing world and has played golf for many years. This will stand her in good stead for her year as lady captain.
When I played my first ever West Renfrewshire match it was at Ralston GC and Eleanor kindly offered to walk around her childhood course with me, giving me insider information. I wish I could tell you that I won as a result!
Good luck for next year.
As our competition golf has come to an end, Pamela has kindly agreed to administrate the winter golf bounce games. The format is as follows: -
Some of you may have spotted a new laundry bin in the ladies’ locker room. This fantastic initiative comes from Eleanor Stewart, who’s kindly putting her Vinted experience to good use!
You’ll find a poster with more details attached below. In short – we’re asking everyone to have a look through their wardrobes for any unwanted or unworn clothing. We’re accepting ladies, gents, and children’s items, and if something still has the tag on – even better!
All proceeds from the sale of donated clothing will go directly to the on-course toilet fund.
A huge thanks to Eleanor for taking the lead on this!
