EILIDH BRIGGS HAS THE BEST SCRATCH AND PAT PENNEL WINS RLCGA JULY MEDAL AT RENFREW

A smaller field than normal played in today's Renfrewshire Ladies' County July Medal at Renfrew GC, on account of Old Ranfurly's Open Day, which quite a few of the RLCGA members were participating in. However, we were delighted that the Briggs Sisters could join us.

After early cloudy skies, the sunshine broke through and with a slight breeze it made for a very comfortable game of golf. There was a fair bit of run on the course due to this extended spell of dry weather but hard ground can give way to some rogue bounces at times so it wasn't easy conditions. And of course there are all the trees to contend with. 

There was still some excellent scores, however, with Eilidh Briggs  winning scratch and Division 1 with a magnificent gross 72, nett 75.

But it was Pat Pennel, from Ranfurly Castle, who got the measure of the fairways and putting to return a very steady round of 96 (48 out and in), nett 72 and win the July Medal and Division 2. Well done, Pat !
