25th February 2005 (Friday): Lochwinnoch Pair into
the Winter Foursomes Final
and Elspeth Hanlon is the
best RLCGA Player in Spain
Maureen Cook and Sheila Shaw (Lochwinoch)
managed to win against Morag
Turner and Beatrice Orr (Kilmacolm)
- 4 & 2. yesterday played over Lochwinnoch.
Sheila reported "It was a very friendly match (our
first home game incidentally) and having decided to postpone the start
for an hour after overnight snow, the Course was completely green
in the sunshine and very playable. The Greenkeeper was very
accommodating allowing us to play to most of the big greens and also
from the front of the ladies tees (and not off the mats like everyone
else at the moment). So, all in all, a very good match - which I
think they enjoyed too, although the result went in our favour"
In the Final they now meet
Audrey Barclay and Penny Baglin
(East Renfrewshire).
The date and venue is still to be arranged.
