🏌️‍♀️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 👍

Thanks fo to Fiona Armour for report and photograph
