WEST OF SCOTLAND INTER COUNTY JAMBOREE AT LOUDOUN GOWF CLUB

Denise with D&A County Champion Anne Laing

Many congratulations are due to Denise Cowan who was part of the Renfrewshire County team who took part in the above from 15th  - 17th June.
On Monday she won 3/2 in her singles match against Lanarkshire. Tuesday saw her half her singles match against Dumbarton and Argyll County Champion Anne Laing and on Wednesday morning she lost in the foursomes against Ayrshire. However, in the afternoon she came back from 3 down to half her match at the 18th.
Well done Denise quite an achievement and reflects well on not just yourself but on the club also.

West Renfrewshire League Win

Congratulations to the West Renfrewshire League team of Marion Munro, Jan Macnab, Vivien Howe, Helen Abram, Mary Hardie and Vicky Rennie who last night won 5-1 at home against Gourock. I am delighted to say that this means Ranfurly Castle's name will be on the Division 1 trophy this year, as with 3 wins out of 3 we cannot be beaten. Well played last night team and all the ladies who have played in the league this season.

After visiting the drinks tent at the 10th one couple, having scored 22 pts on the way out, scored 7 on the way in! The buffet immediately after play proved popular and was good value.

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.
