GREEENLEES LUNCH AND TROPHY PRESENTATION


Milngavie, Cathkin Braes, Loudoun Gowf and Cathcart Castle with the Trophies
The 72nd Greenlees Lunch and Presentation of Trophies was held at Williamwood Golf Club today.

Gill Unick  (Williamwood Greenlees Secretary) organised the event and was helped on the day by next years Williamwood Greenlees Secretary Christine Leitch

Most of the clubs from the 3 divisions within the Greenlees Trophy (55 ladies) were represented and what a great celebration they all had.
They were welcomed warmly by Williamwood's Jinty Roger who was standing in for the Lady Captain Lesley Forsyth. On arrival everyone received a complementary glass of wine and after an excellent grace by Anne Dunn a beautiful lunch was had by all.

Anne Dunn the West of Scotland Greenlees Secretary then stood up after the meal and said ----

It is a great pleasure to have been invited to Williamwood for our annual lunch and Presentation of prizes.   This day takes more organizing than I thought with a lot of people behind the scenes doing the hard work.  There are a number of people to thank for making this event happen.

FIRSTLY: I wish to thank Jinty Roger, for taking the time to join us for lunch today and for her very kind words of welcome

SECONDLY: I would like to thank the Club Captain and the committee for allowing us to hold the function here and for their generous gift of wine on our arrival.

THIRDLY: Gill and her assistant Christine and without them this lunch would have never taken place and I owe a great debt to Gill for her advice and organizational skills.
The beautiful floral arrangements on the tables are also due to Gill.   May I ask her to pass on to the chef and his staff our thanks for a beautiful meal.

FOURTHLY: I would like to pass on your thanks to Carol Fell for taking the photographs today.   I am always amazed that Carol has the time to be at all the functions she attends and all the jobs she manages to do.   I intend to ask her how she manages to get more than twenty-four hours into her day.   If I get an answer I will let you know – I think we could all make use of the advice.

NOW TO the real business of the day

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES

She then asked Jinty to present the winning teams in each division with their trophies.

Cathcart Castle had a very good season with a score of 47 points this moves them up to the 2nd Division for the first time since 1985
Bothwell Castle were second in the league with 46.9 points and I am sure they are looking forward to playing the 2nd Division next year
Good luck to you both in Division 2 next year

Liz and Kelly - Loudon Gowf - Division 2 Winners

It was only last year that Fiona commented on the spectacular achievement of Loudoun Gowf winning the third division with an amazing score and now I have to do the same.   Well done Loudon for winning the second Division with a score of 58.5 points
Also well done to Haggs Castle who were runners up with a score of 45.5.
What a division 1 we will have next year.
