CAROL FELL QUALIFIES FOR THE WEST VETS CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE PLAYED AT RENFREW

On a blustery but sunny day 72 ladies played at Largs Kelburne in the S.V.L.G.A. (West ) Championship. 
The scoring was poor and despite Carol losing 2 golf balls and playing a wrong ball (6 penalty shots) she was amazed to find that she still managed to qualify for the matchplay stages later this month.

The May Medal and Club Championship Qualifier has been rescheduled to be played on Wednesday 20th May.  The RLCGA Spring Meeting is being held at Ranfurly Castle on Friday 22nd May, therefore the Centenary Trophy Strokeplay will now take place on Friday 17th July.

Medal & Club Championship Qualifier

Although the course is not closed, James has advised some of the greens are unplayable at the moment and it will be later in the morning when the rain stops before they can be cleared. As this would give an unfair advantage to ladies going out later in the day, the competition had been cancelled today and rescheduled for Wednesday 20th May. The Centenary  Trophy Strokeplay will be played on Thursday 21st May.

Social Evening.Thursday 23rd April 2015

Twenty seven ladies enjoyed a very entertaining evening.
Firstly, June Giles gave a moving account of the history of the charity 5oo Miles and we went on to take part in The Big Dinner.
Thanks to your generosity the sum of £312 was raised for the Charity. This was followed by an informative and humourous talk and powerpoint presentation by James Parker explaining the science behind greenkeeping and including the ever increasing role of women, and much much more.
A question and answer session followed --- We now know where to leave our bunker rakes and why sandy greens are a necessary evil!
Thank you to all who supported the event.
