| Winning Team — Megan and Lynn McColl, Karen McIlvaney (Hilton Park not pictured) |
Another very successful Ladies Open Tri-am took place yesterday at Renfrew Golf Club in largely dry and sunny conditions. A field of 37 teams took part in a bid to win the Burgoyne Thistle Trophy and the 'on course' prizes.
As well as the opportunity to win some fantastic raffle prizes- the local Renfrew Branch of Enable Scotland Charity will be the beneficiaries of the proceeds - there was an extensive selection of ladies golf clothing, gifts and accessories offered for sale by Sarah and Tom Eckford. Never has the Committee Room looked so pretty 😜
A selection of photographs from the event are included in the album on the Renfrew Facebook Page and quite unusually the vast majority of the prize-winners stayed or in the case of the winners, came back for the presentation of prizes that was undertaken by Alice Burgoyne.
The competition was based on the best nett score at each hole but in the last three holes all three players nett scores counted and were added in.
Many congratulations to the winners of the Trophy, who only entered the day before the competition;
Lynn and Megan McColl (The Carrick) and Karen McIlvaney (Hilton Park) with a score of 96
They also won the separate 16th, 17th and 18th combined score competition and many thanks to Tom and Sarah Eckford for donating these prizes.
