4th August 2004: SLGA Centenary Competition Regional Final
|
The
Renfrewshire regional final of the
SLGA Centenary Competition was played at
Paisley Golf Club today. There were
27 finalist playing and the scoring was exceedingly low with
50% of the field having
36 points or more.
With only one winner from both of the Silver and Bronze
Division and a Junior Winner, it was a pity a few more could not
qualify the the Scottish National Final at
Prestwick St Nicholas
on the Friday 1st October 2004
and who will form the "Renfrewshire County
Team". The County Champion
Karen Fitzgerald will play against the other County Champions
at Glasgow Gailes on the same day
|
 |
The Silver Division was won by
Denise Parr (Cowglen) with 40 points
by virtue of the Better Inward Half from
Gillian Mullen (Paisley) and in 3rd Place was
Sarah Kirby (Ranfurly Castle) with
39 points.
The Bronze Division was won by Jo
Riddell (Erskine) with 39 points and the runner up was
Claire Smith (Cochrane Castle) with
38 points - better last 3 holes from
Val Lawrence ( Kilmacolm) who also had
38 points.
The Junior Section was won by Eilidh Briggs
(Ranfurly Castle) with 38 points from
Catherine Conje-Watt (Williamwood) and
Jennifer Rossi (Whitecraigs)
who both had 36 points
The SSS for Paisley is 74 (Par 74) and with all the good scores the CSS
went down 73. Therefore to play to your handicap you needed
37 points.
Also click on the Photograph to see the Winners -- from left to right
are:
Jo Riddell, Eilidh Briggs and Denise Parr.
The RLCGA Captain Aileen Wilson and Secretary Christeen Finlayson would like to thank Paisley GC Lady Captain Kay Bowman for all
her help on the day and thanks also go to the Club for their kind hospitality. |
