ANNE AND MARION WIN COUNTY WINTER FOURSOMES

Anne Judge and Marion Munro came through an epic battle at Pollok Golf Club last Friday 8th March. They survived pretty terrible weather and a very close match to beat Jan Macnab and Sheila Shaw (Caldwell) in the Renfrewshire County Winter Foursomes Final. In a match which never saw either side more than 1 hole up, it took 22 holes to decide the winner!! Well done to Anne and Marion.

COUNTY WINTER FOURSOMES

3 Ranfurly Castle players have reached the final of the Renfrewshire Ladies County Winter Foursomes.
In one semi-final, Anne Judge and Marion Munro won a close contest at Kilmacolm against Lynda Bradley and Clair Barclay. In the other, Jan Macnab and Sheila Shaw (Caldwell) beat the Whitecraigs pairing of Dorothy Cartlidge and Julie Dickson.
The final will be played at Pollok on Friday 8th March, 10.13am.

CAPTAINS DRIVE IN

A lovely photo of the 3 incoming captains. 

Luckily the Drive-In was in dry conditions but the same can't be said of the game for the Captains Quaich!  Conditions were so bad that only the hardy completed the 9 holes. 
Martin McGoldrick and Senga Nixon both finished with 21 points and Martin won out with the better inward score.  Well done to all who turned up and supported the day.

BRIDGE DRIVE

This year's Bridge Drive will be held on Wednesday 13th March 2019, in the afternoon - starting at 2pm. Tables are £28 for 4 and will include a delicious afternoon tea.
The Bridge Drive is open to all - ladies, gents, members and visitors. We are hoping to have 18 tables this year so please book your table(s) and invite all your bridge playing friends!
A sign-up sheet is posted on the main Club Noticeboard in the entrance hallway. If you won't be round at the club soon, you can email me at janmacnab@hotmail.co.uk and I will reserve a table for 4 for you.
See you then, and hope you get good cards!

LADIES AGM AND PRIZEGIVING

Over 40 ladies attended the 89th Annual General Meeting and Prizegiving on Saturday 19th January 2019.
The 2018 playing season was recapped, highlighting our super outing to Pollok, team match results and successes of Ranfurly Castle players away from home. New Lady Captain Jan Macnab then took office, thanking Marion Munro for all her work as 2018 Captain and outlining her plans for 2019.
Trophy presentations followed and many then stayed on to enjoy a chatty lunch while looking out at the snow-covered course! Hopefully the weather will be nice enough for golf soon.
Thanks to Val and Jill for helping set up for the meeting and remaining cheery serving during an unexpectedly busy lunch-time!
