THE HALDEN CUP 2025 SUNDAY 10TH AUGUST

 A big thank you to everyone who played in this year's Halden Cup.  The weather was relatively kind and it was a most enjoyable day.  The ladies were victorious, again, this year with a 4.5 to 3.5 win over the gents.  Hopefully we can keep up our winning streak next year.  Well done!

FINAL GREENLEES MATCH

A very pleasant, sunny day at Cathkin Braes yesterday. And a very pleasant surprise to most of us with the result. We lost 5-4 but, all things considered, 4 points was a pretty good haul.

We finish the season on 42.5 points. This is really a fantastic effort from the team, playing in Division 1.

We are currently top of the league - although this is akin to being Leader in the Clubhouse on the PGA tour with the final 3 groups still to finish. Some teams still have three matches to play and points to accrue! But we will take it. Undoubtedly safe from relegation, so Division 1 again next year.

Well played to all the team, and well done once again to Anne Judge for arranging it all so well, as usual. Our schedule of 2 matches in May, 2 in June, 2 in July, and 2 in August was well spread and we were lucky none had to be rearranged. I'm sure she will just love to do it all again in 2026!

GREENLEES RESULT

The team played the final home game of the season this afternoon, against Kilmarnock Barassie. A good 6-3 win, which puts us in what appears to be a safe position in the league (it is hard to predict outcomes at this stage as several teams still have about half their matches to play).

Our final 2025 match will be next Monday, away at recent league winners Cathkin Braes. This will be a tough challenge but we can only go and try our best. Fingers crossed for a nice day and lots of luck.

 This year our Ladies Triam got off to a very warm & sunny start.  I hope the rain in the afternoon did not catch out too many players.  There was a great attendance from a variety of different clubs.  

A big thank you to Marion Munro for organising the event and putting together her team of starters, check-in girls and results checkers.  The event would not be a success without all your help.

Many thanks to all our spot prize sponsors and to everyone who generously donated items for the raffle prizes.  The raffle raised a fantastic sum of £366, which will be added to the toilet fund.  

On the day we received numerous compliments about the course conditions, the clubhouse and the lunch menu.  Thank you to Craig & all the greens staff for getting the course looking so good.   A final thank you to Leanna and the catering team for an excellent menu offering.
