GREENLEES MATCH V KILMARNOCK BARASSIE
Another difficult day for the Greenlees team away at Barassie on Monday 15th July. We were beaten 6.5/2.5 but at least did not get soaked. Well done to the "oldies" (per themselves!) who won the points for the team.

GREENLEES MATCH AT PRESTWICK ST NICHOLAS
The Greenlees team had a horrid time at Prestwick St Nicholas on Friday 5th July. Prestwick were feeling the pressure to win points as 3 of their top 4 players had not been available for any of their previous matches. Needless to say, they all turned out against Ranfurly Castle. The predominantly single-figure handicap opposition, the tricky away course, the howling wind and the lashing rain all made it an afternoon we would like to forget and an 8-1 defeat, while disappointing, was not a huge surprise. Many were slightly cheered up however by the delicious catering provided afterwards.
Onwards to the next game! We had an 8-1 defeat last year and still managed to finish mid-table so we must all keep our hopes and spirits up.

Ladies Stableford Saturday 29th June
Due to the danger of lightning this competition was suspended and then abandoned. No rounds had been completed and entered into the computer before the competition was abandoned, so no lady's handicap was affected.
All entry fees were due to be refunded but the ladies who had entered all agreed that the money should be added to the funds raised through the Hospice Cup and donated to St Vincents Hospice.

WEST RENFREWSHIRE LEAGUE V CALDWELL
Tuesday night, 25th June, was the final match of the West Renfrewshire League season, having been rearranged from last month due to a flooded course.
The match was a very competitive one with Caldwell, who have seen some new ladies join from Beith Golf Club and renewed vigorous determination from their captain and players, since we last had an easy home victory over them two years ago! I am pleased to report that the team managed to win 3.5/2.5 but it was a nail-biting finish with Mary H coming in with the crucial half in the final game in.
This result will ensure the team remains in Division 1 for next year, even though the final position is not yet know with other clubs still having matches to play.
Thanks to Vivien Howe for arranging (and rearranging!) the matches this year and to all the ladies who have played - Jan, Vivien, Agnes, Lilias, Louise, Helen A, Mary H, Joy, Gillian and Morag.

GREENLEES MATCH V WEST KILBRIDE
Monday 24th June was the day for the Greenlees team's 3rd home game of the season and also the worst weather forecast of the year, with thundery showers threatened.
As it turned out there were thundery rumblings and one flash of lightning before the threat cleared away and most games were able to finish, albeit getting rather wet. This was much to team captain Anne Judge's relief as rearranging these games is almost impossible.
The team managed a good 6-3 win against a West Kilbride team that included many old friends, including Helen Craig.
Next up is Prestwick St Nicholas (away) on Friday 5th July. That will be a tough challenge!

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.
