WOMEN'S MEDAL GRAND FINAL
Jan Macnab and Helen Abram represented Ranfurly Castle yesterday at the Scottish Golf Women's Medal Grand Final. Both had qualified for this last month playing at East Renfrewshire Golf Club.
The Grand Final was played on the Eden Course, St Andrews, on a day where the rain stayed away to let Helen finish but absolutely soaked Jan at the 17th!
No prizes for the girls but very respectable buffer zone scores for both (Helen 73, Jan 74) which placed them in the top third of competitors. The CSS was 72 with Silver Division won by a 68 and Bronze won by a staggering 62 from Margaret Adams of Gleddoch.

WEST RENFREWSHIRE LEAGUE MATCH AT RALSTON
After the first game of the season had to be postponed two weeks ago because of torrential rain, the team started the 2019 campaign on Thursday night at Ralston, on a dull evening that was mercifully dry despite the forecasts.
It is always tough to play away from home and last year's Division 1 winners, Ralston, once again proved formidable opponents, beating Ranfurly Castle 3.5 games to 2.5. Well done to Vivien, Helen A and Gillian who managed to get points away from home. Despite the loss, we enjoyed the evening as the course, the meal afterwards and the company of the Ralston ladies were all great. We will hope to be back there next year, trying again for that elusive extra point!

AZALEAS
A huge thank you to all the ladies who have donated such an amazing number of azaleas for the golf course. These have been given to Craig who is planning to plant them over the next week beside the 12th green. Over the next few years this area should be a riot of colour as they grow and fill some of the space. Don't worry if you haven't had time to donate and would still like to - we will be delighted with more!!
Also, thank you to Maureen and Pamela for having the idea in the first place and getting the Board to approve.

FIRST GREENLEES MATCH OF THE SEASON
The Greenlees team started the 2019 season away at Douglas Park today.
Several of the team regulars were on holiday and we approached the match with some trepidation, despite the nice sunny weather. As feared, the home advantage was decisive and we lost 6-3.
Particular thanks to the committed Ranfurly Castle ladies who don't regularly play in the team but turned out for their club, some at very short notice. It was appreciated.
