RENFREWSHIRE COUNTY WINTER FOURSOMES -- EAST RENFREWSHIRE PAIR DEFEAT THE 2017 TITLE HOLDERS


Gillian Kyle and Carole Spy (East Renfrewshire) played against the 2017 RLCGA Winter Foursomes Champions-Alyson McGinnigle (Cowglen) and Carol McNally (Williamwood) -  in beautiful autumn sunshine on Friday 26th October at Cowglen GC. 

The away pairing appreciated the 5 shots they were receiving and used most of them wisely. 

The front 9 finished all square despite Alyson and Carol being 1up 3 times. Gillian and Carole were the steadier pair at the beginning of the back 9 and were 2up after 12 holes but good pars at the tricky 13th and 14th  by the “home” pair, saw the match squared once again. The away couple won the 15th with a tidy 4 then with the 16th halved in 3s, they were 1up with 2 to play. 

Both couples got a 5 at the long 17th but with a shot being given there, the match was won 2&1 by the East Renfrewshire pairing. 

Cowglen was in fantastic condition and preferred lies were hardly required at all. (There was too much chat to remember to take a photo!)
