SKELMORLIE ARE IN THE PINK !

PINK MEDAL – FRIDAY the 19th SEPTEMBER
One of the best turnouts we have had for any competition this year with 23 ladies taking part. Add in the 26 men who played their own competition throughout the day and you get a course and clubhouse which were ablaze with good humour, amazing pink outfits and lots of laughs. Everyone was extremely generous and the final total raised from all our fundraising efforts both on the day and from collections at West College Scotland, Greenock Campus, were a fantastic £1600 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer Charity – a very worthwhile cause.

Thanks go to Gillian Pollock (Lady Captain of Skelmorlie Golf Club) for the report and photograph.

Ayrshire County Winter Foursomes Final - Kath and Jenny are winners

Kath McKellar & Jenny McGee (Skelmorlie) and Ann McGillivray & Mara Lindsay (Prestwick, St. Nicholas)

The Ayrshire County Winter Foursomes final was played on Wednesday at West Kilbride Golf Club in dry but cold and blustery conditions. At times some excellent golf was executed by both pairings but Kath McKellar and  Jenny McGee from Skelmorlie  began to edge ahead on the back nine and finally beat Mara Lindsay & Ann McGillvray from Prestwick St Nicholas on the 15th winning 4&3.

SKELMORLIE'S GILLIAN POLLOCK HAS SUCCESS IN THE 2011 ARRAN CHALLENGE

 Gillian receiving her trophy from Lady Captain Kath Mackellar.

The ladies of Skelmorlie Golf Club have been competing in The Arran Challenge for the past twelve or so years and have been among the prizewinners on several occasions.
This annual competition attracts golfers from all over Scotland keen to play over the 12 short but challenging holes at Shiskine Golf Club. This year 216 ladies took part.
Having missed out on the scratch prize last year by a single stroke, Gillian Pollock had set her sights on winning it this year and she did so in style with a total of 98 for two rounds narrowly beating Claire Howden from Torwoodlee G.C. near Galashiels.
She also won the 1st. Class Nett prize (with a total of 84) and The Shiskine Trophy which the Skelmorlie Ladies compete for within the main competition.
All in all a most successful three days golf.

SKELMORLIE LADIES’OPEN DAY WON BY 16 YEAR OLD TWINS SOPHIE AND GILLIAN

Having already had to reschedule their Open Day after the atrocious weather of 11th, September, the ladies of Skelmorlie Golf Club were somewhat despondent early on Sunday as they looked out on mist shrouded fairways and yet another heavy downpour. Fortunately though the rain gods decided that enough was enough and before long the clouds lifted, the rain ceased and the sun even appeared, lifting spirits considerably and causing the 30 pairs of competitors to doff waterproofs and search for the sunscreen buried deeply in the pockets of their golf bags.
So what looked like another soggy Sunday turned out to be a most enjoyable day’s golf. Yes, it was extremely wet and muddy underfoot but the green-keepers’ talents ensured that the greens were in excellent shape, despite the poor weather of the past few weeks, and some low scoring ensued.
The winners of the Ladies’ Open Greensome Trophy, with a wonderful score of 63.6, were 16 year old twins Sophie and Gillian Love from Wemyss Bay. The girls have been playing at Skelmorlie since they were 10 and could barely see above their golf bags, and since then they have continued to progress year on year, winning many trophies in both club and county competitions at junior level.
This however was their first big win against a field of mainly “more mature” and experienced ladies, and it will surely not be their last.
The other prize winners are as follows:
2nd. - Gillian Pollock and Janet Harkness (Skelmorlie) – 65.4
3rd. - Sandra Cook (Greenock) and Jenny McGee (Skelmorlie) – 66.4
4th. - Ann and Sara Murphy (Skelmorlie) - 70.8
5th. - Ahlana Taylor and Merope Dunlop (Old Ranfurly) - 72.2
Longest Drives: Silver Division – Fiona Alexander (Hilton Park), Bronze Division - Gillian Love (Skelmorlie)
Nearest the Pin: Silver Division - Aileen Donaldson (Skelmorlie), Bronze Division – Grace Fleming (Erskine)
The competition was sponsored by Brian Spence of the Wemyss Bay Pharmacy and further prizes were donated by Ken McLeod.
