Marion Hamilton (Kilmarnock Barassie)
Overall Winner of the West Vets Spring Meeting

From the West Vets Website 

Glasgow Gailes was the venue yesterday for the much anticipated 2019 Spring Meeting of the West Vets. 

A total of 113 ladies entered the competition, looking forward to the opportunity to play over this fabulous links, which has been host to 32 international championships since 1927. 

However, the Scottish weather had different ideas. 

Spring was not evident over the Ayrshire links and the vets had conscious decisions to make on whether or not to brave the elements.

A total of 59 ladies ventured out - and to be honest, they should all be congratulated. 

Liz Stewart ( after 18 holes)  Liz Wilson, Anna Telfer and Gillian Kyle (after 18 holes)

Carol Fell and Evy MacGregor 
could only manage 1 hole but did enjoy the catering and chat

Others stayed inside and enjoyed a selection of teas, coffees, scones, soup and bacon rolls. The jury is still out on who made the right call!

Only 2 people broke 90 - Gillian Kyle and Liz Stewart (Reserve) who were part of the Scottish Vets winning team against the Irish earlier this week !

Gillian Kyle (East Renfrewshire) recorded the best scratch of the day with an 83. 
Best net of the day was Marion Hamilton (Kilmarnock Barassie) with 92 - 14 =78. 
Supervet and runner up was Anne Judge (Ranfurly Castle) with 91 - 11 = 80.

RENFREWSHIRE WINTER FOURSOMES -- 2ND ROUND TIE - JAN MACNAB AND SHEILA SHAW ARE WINNERS

Gillian Kyle, Carole Spy, Jan Macnab and Sheila Shaw

One of the 2nd round RLCGA Winter foursomes ties was played yesterday (Monday 26 November) at Caldwell Golf Club with Sheila Shaw (Caldwell) and Jan Macnab (Ranfurly Castle) taking on the East Renfrewshire pairing of Carole Spy and Past County Captain Gillian Kyle who had already beaten the 2017 - 2018 holders in the last round

It was an excellent day for golf given the time of year with sunshine and only a slight chilly wind. Winter mats were in use but the full greens were on despite an early morning frost. 

The golf was a closely contended match which swung back and forwards with Sheila and Jan being 1up at the turn and managing to cling on to win the match at the 17th after a series of good holes from Gillian and Carole looked like they were going to prevail over the back nine. 

Great shots and not-so-great shots were played by all but the match highlight was the 15th which was halved with a gross birdie 4 from Gillian and Carole, to match Sheila and Jan’s 5 (net 4)”

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!)

GREENLEES TROPHY PRESENTATION AND LUNCH

Winners Division 3 (Sylvia Muir )- Ayr Bellisle ,  Greenlees Champions (Annie Howie) - Troon, 2nd Division Winners (Gillian McLeod) Williamwood and West Kilbride ( Helen Craig) - Runners Up Division 1

The Annual Greenlees Lunch took place today, 18 October, at Cowglen Golf Club.
This was attended by 51 ladies representing 22 clubs and 5 Clubs sent apologies.

Greenlees Secretary Maureen Mitchell (Old Ranfurly) opened the proceedings by welcoming everyone to the 78th Anniversary Year of the Greenlees Trophy.
She stated that it was unfortunate that our club members had been reduced as Cawder Golf Club had withdrawn from the league.

She took the opportunity to remind the club secretaries that their lists of  players and the Greenlees fee were now due if they had not already sent them in.

She then introduced the top table guests -  Pat Lunney, the Lady Captain of Cowglen, who welcomed everyone on behalf of the Club. 
She then introduced Carol Fell and thanked her for setting up and keeping all the Greenlees results together and enabling everyone to be able to keep up to date with the league positions on the web.

Cowglen Golf Club Organisers --
Sue Fordyce, Moira Kerr, Pam Harvey, Pat Lunney and Pam Mather

Next introduction was that of  Cowglen's Greenlees Secretary Pam Mather who had organised the lunch arrangements.
She had  a band of helpers to assist the proceedings and the tables were named after some of the holes on the course --

PLATEAU: Lanark and Lenzie
GLEN : Top Table (Ranfurly Castle and Old Ranfurly)
SOUTHVIEW: Cathcart Castle, Cathkin Braes, Ayr Bellisle and Douglas Park
BRAEFACE: Prestwick St Nicholas, Kilmacolm, Eastwood and Whitecraigs
RACECOURSE: Milngavie, West Kilbride, Hilton Park, Williamwood
BANGORSHILL: Troon, East Renfrewshire and Greenock
BEECHES: Cardross, Loudoun, Cowglen and Bothwell


Pam said grace and the ladies were then served an excellent lunch.  

Lots of pleasant chatter could be heard and it was obvious that everyone was enjoying catching up with old friends.

After coffee was served, Maureen invited the Captain Pat to present the trophies to the winning teams.
Division 3 was won by Ayr Bellisle with Williamwood winners of Division 2.
The runners up in Division 1 were West Kilbride who were  beaten by the overall winners - Troon. Troon's Greenlees Secretary, Annie Howie then made a short speech and  a vote of thanks for all the hospitality received from Cowglen and thanked Maureen and her helpers for organising a very successful lunch.

Cowglen Captain Pat and "Greenlees Webmaster " Carol were presented with beautiful flower displays from the top table that Maureen had made.

Maureen then concluded by wishing everyone a safe journey home.

Alistair who retains the Gents Club Championship and her daughter Sophie wins the Ladies Championship. 

GILLIAN KYLE HAS HER BEST ROUND OVER EAST RENFREWSHIRE GOLF COURSE

Scottish Senior Internationalist Gillian Kyle played in her home club competition at East Renfrewshire Golf Club last week and scored 43 stableford points.  She holed out every hole, it converted to gross 67 which they  think it will  be the lowest score recorded by a lady at the club --  Unfortunately preferred lies were in play on 2 holes and since it was a stableford it is  not a course record as such according to the rules. However  hopefully her card will go up on clubhouse wall.

- Many congratulations Gillian who now has reduced her handicap  to 2
