I hope as many of you as possible will turn out to support the Silver finalists.
Many thanks to the ladies who continue to turn out for our Greenlees team.

What a fabulous day of weather for our first invitation day since the pandemic.
Possibly too hot and sunny - I think quite a few of us were quite weary by the end of our rounds!
Our invited guests all enjoyed playing our course and a tasty lunch afterwards.
18 pairs played a Betterball Stableford format and some fabulous scores were returned.
1st Prize: Helen Abram & Nicky Stirrup 44pts(bih)

The David Reid Memorial Open Mixed competition was held on Sunday 7th August. Pamela MacKenzie, Maureen Cook and Euan Templeton did an amazing job of organising a wonderful day and had a team of happy helpers to assist on the day. A very successful raffle was held with the wonderful total of £4535.00 being raised for Brain Research UK. Winning couple was Angela and Hunter Patterson, 2nd was Chris Minto and Stevie Scott and 3rd was Rosemary and Jim Ogilvie. Home course definately was an advantage it would seem!
Photos show the Winners along with Fraser Templeton and a shirt signed by Colin Montgomery which he won in the raffle - a very happy little boy.

The ladies West Ren team went to Renfrew Golf Club on Thursday 28th July. The evening started off wet but improved later. Sadly the result was a loss, with Renfrew winning 4 and half matches to our 1 and half. This means that we won 2 matches and lost 2 matches but the scores will play a part in the overall results. A huge thank you to all who played in these matches.

We won by 9 points! Superb result! Well done to all our players.
Thanks to Karin MacKenzie, Joy McLeod, Kate Scott and Julie Will who played in the ladies matches.
We are the 4 Castles most successful club, clocking up 8 wins (2 of those away). We are undefeated at home. What a record!
Our Greenlees team played away at Prestwick St Nicholas on Monday 4th July.
Thankfully the weather has improved for these matches!
Thanks to all the girls who played, but unfortunately, with a depleted team, it was a 7/2 loss.
Special mention to Helen Abram who scored a half in her very first Greenlees appearance. Drafted in at the last minute and not having played the course before. Well done Helen!
All the best to the girls in their next match away at Haggs Castle on 25th July.
Unfortunately our Greenlees team lost 7/2 to Milngavie, played at Milngavie.
That makes 2 points from each of the away matches in a very hotly contested league.
Next match is Prestwick St Nicholas away on Monday 4th July. Best of luck girls!
