Renfrew Golf Club Tri Am Success

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.

Other Prize Winners;

SECOND PRIZE: Ann Shanks, Margaret Nicolson and Ronalda Agnew (all Dumbarton) 97
THIRD PRIZE: Irene McInnes (Williamwood), Brenda Conway (Renfrew) and Moira Kerr (Cowglen) 98
FOURTH PRIZE: Jane Pirie, Kathryn McPhail and Rhonda Hughes (all Millport) 99 BIH

On Course Prizes;

Nearest the pin at the 7th Hole: Jean Sloan (Troon)
Nearest the pin in 2 at the 12th Hole: Fiona Armour (Renfrew)
Nearest the pin in 3 at the 16th Hole: Alyson McGinnigle (Cowglen)

RENFREW GOLF CLUB FESTIVE FAIR SUCCESS

Christmas Fair

Well it was spend, spend, spend last night down at Renfrew Golf Club and a fair bit of blethering in between.

With around 125 ladies in attendance it was certainly busy and the stall holders and bar staff were kept going. 

With tea, coffee, homemade mince pies and visits to the chocolate fountain keeping the shoppers sustained it was a very enjoyable pre-festive night and the raffle rounded off the night.

🏌️‍♀️BRENDA CONWAY WINS RENFREW LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP 2018🏌️‍♀️

The Renfrewshire Ladies Championship between Nancy Cowan and Brenda Conway took place yesterday afternoon in sunny conditions with a slight breeze.
Brenda took a commanding lead with par golf in the first half and was 4 up at the turn. However, Nancy came fighting back winning the next 3 holes to par reducing Brenda's lead to 1 but pars at the 13th and 14th put Brenda back to 3 up.
A close fought half at the 15th resulted in the game being dormie 3 for Brenda with the game finishing on the 16th, 4 and 2. 

The many spectators from the Ladies Section were treated to an exciting match some of whom stayed behind to toast the winner with the customary tea, sandwiches and cakes provided by Liz in The Clubhouse Bistro RGC.

Many congratulations to Brenda on winning her second Ladies Championship 👍

EILIDH BRIGGS HAS THE BEST SCRATCH AND PAT PENNEL WINS RLCGA JULY MEDAL AT RENFREW

A smaller field than normal played in today's Renfrewshire Ladies' County July Medal at Renfrew GC, on account of Old Ranfurly's Open Day, which quite a few of the RLCGA members were participating in. However, we were delighted that the Briggs Sisters could join us.

After early cloudy skies, the sunshine broke through and with a slight breeze it made for a very comfortable game of golf. There was a fair bit of run on the course due to this extended spell of dry weather but hard ground can give way to some rogue bounces at times so it wasn't easy conditions. And of course there are all the trees to contend with. 

There was still some excellent scores, however, with Eilidh Briggs  winning scratch and Division 1 with a magnificent gross 72, nett 75.

But it was Pat Pennel, from Ranfurly Castle, who got the measure of the fairways and putting to return a very steady round of 96 (48 out and in), nett 72 and win the July Medal and Division 2. Well done, Pat !
