Ayrshire v Renfrewshire Girls' Friendly Match

The girls were treated to a beautiful, 'though cold, day at Pollok for the return match against Renfrewshire.  Of the three matches on the course, Ayrshire won two and lost one.   In the top game, a singles, Claire McLaughlin was 3 down but turned it around to win by 2 holes.  The remaining games were greensomes where Katy Hill and Freya Russell found it tough giving 22 strokes to their opponents who played lovely golf, while Luisa Gibson and Cristina McCracken played steadily to win their game.  All the girls enjoyed the opportunity of playing a lovely golf course and appreciated the warm welcome from Renfrewshire and Pollok 😊

Update

For those of you unable to attend this years AGM I can confirm that it

was agreed to increase our membership fee to £65. It was also agreed

that any Junior member, with a handicap, will automatically become a

member ie no fee will be applicable.  It is hoped that this may

encourage any Juniors we have in Ayrshire to play in more competitions.

If you have any Juniors at your clubs or if you know of anyone then

please send us her details. The Non playing subscription remains at £5.
