JENNIFER RANKINE IS THE 2021 RENFREWSHIRE COUNTY CHAMPION

Jennifer Rankine 2021 - RLCGA Champion

Jan Macnab (Peggy Clark Trophy) Jennifer (RLCGA Champion) 
and Morag Cunningham (Irvine Trophy Winner) 

Jennifer Rankine (Haggs Castle) and Julie Wilson (Williamwood) qualified for this year’s Championship Final, having beaten Alyson McGinnigle (Williamwood) and Denise Cowan (Ranfurly Castle) respectively in the semi-finals.

Julie started with a birdie at the first to go 1 up but Jennifer immediately hit back with an eagle at the second to square the match.  The remainder of the first nine was very close with some near perfect golf and the match was all square at the turn (both players were -3 and -2 respectively).

Jennifer won holes 10 and 11 to go 2 up and with the next six holes being halved with scratch golf, Jennifer went on to win 2 and 1.

Well done to both finalists for producing an excellent game and a big “thank you” to those who came out to spectate and support this year’s final.

Irvine Trophy(handicap Trophy)

“In calm conditions, local ladies Ranfurly Castle's Morag Cunningham and Vicky Rennie (off 32 and 33 respectively) played the match in a very sporting manner, and it most certainly was a match of two halves.

Vicky was 3 up at the turn, but Morag fought back to win the next three holes in a row.  Holes were fairly even after that until Morag won the 17th, to go 1 up, and held on to halve the 18th and win the match.

NB:  At the 15th, Morag’s tee shot hit the cliff and returned to the back of the tee!!!
