2019 RLCGA COUNTY ROSEBOWL FINAL
The final of the 2019 RLCGA County Rosebowl was played today  (Monday 16th September 2019) at Gleddoch GC

Jan Macnab (Ranfurly Castle) and Linda McDougall (Greenock) played some wonderful golf despite the wind being a major factor at times.  

Jan quickly went ahead after Linda found trouble at the first, but the next 4 holes were halved.  However Jan took 3 of the last 4 holes in the outward nine to be 3 up.

Then Linda hit a superb burst of 3 birdies (including one at the 452 yard 11^th!)  but Jan continued to play steady golf to finish with a birdie of her own at the 17^th, to record a 3 &1 victory.

Despite the course playing long, both ladies should feel proud of their performances – Linda in particular for her putting, and Jan with her long iron approach shots.

Thanks go to Gleddoch GC for the use of their course, which overall has held up pretty well despite the recent weather.

Jan  said after the match --- "I am absolutely delighted to win the trophy again for Ranfurly Castle - looking back at the trophy there have been 6 Ranfurly winners in the last 8 years - starting in 2012 with Iona Stephen (now a big-time Sky Sports presenter hobnobbing with the Solheim Cup girls but back then a Ranfurly Castle mere mortal!), then Denise Cowan won three years in a row (wow)  and last year Anne Judge won at Cathcart Castle. Whose turn could it be next year??"

Anne Judge Wins Renfrewshire County Rosebowl at Cathcart Castle

On what turned out to be a better day than expected weather-wise, Anne Judge (Ranfurly Castle) today, beat Carol McNally (Williamwood ) 3 and 2 in the Renfrewshire County Rosebowl Final at Cathcart Castle.

The front 9 was very closely contended with some great golf by both finalists.  There were no more than one hole of a difference between the two players with Anne winning the 9th to go 1 up on the turn.

At the 14th Carol was 3 down but brought it back to 2 with a excellent par.  Anne sunk an incredible putt on the 15th to halve the hole and went on to win the match 3 and 2 at the 16th.
The course was in excellent condition and beautifully manicured.  However, I think it's fair to say both ladies found the greens extremely fast but agreed they were very true.

Sally Smyth and Jim McNally caddied for Anne and Carol respectively.

Our thanks also go to:

Cathcart Castle Golf Club for granting us courtesy of the course, catering, etc;
Maureen Mitchell (Cathcart Castle) for coming along prior to tee off to ensure all our needs were met;
Our spectator, Jennifer Graham, for supporting both finalists; and
