RENFREWSHIRE CLUB CHAMPIONS !!-- GILLIAN KYLE WINS EAST RENFREWSHIRE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE 15TH TIME

Denise Cowan
Gillian Kyle won the The East Renfrewshire ladies Championship yesterday for the 15th time.
However, she is still chasing Ann Prentice's record though!
Congratulations also go to Denise Cowan (pictured right) who won yesterday in the Ranfurly Castle final against Anne Judge. The match was very exciting with it going to the 19th. Denise was absolutely thrilled as this was her very 1st Championship win.

Some Reports sent in
Congratulations go to Renfrewshire Past Captain Jennifer Mack who beat another Past Captain Aileen Wilson in the Haggs Club Championship Aileen played out of her skin and Jennifer was 3 down at the 13th. Jennifer managed to win 13, 14 and 15 and 16 to be 1 up. As Jennifer said -- Aileen is pretty amazing - With new hips, knees etc. She did use a buggy as she cannot get round without one. Nicky Henderson caddied for her and Carole Letters caddied for me.
Jennifer also added I have had a bit of opposition at Haggs! Aileen for many years, Dorothea for as many and then people like Brenda Livingstone, Janice Paterson, Pearl Orr and then last year Nicky Henderson!

Well done to you Jennifer and well done to you Aileen in reaching another final despite all these new hips and knees !


News from Morag Key from Ralston Golf Club -
I feel embarrassed writing this myself since I was the winner. This is my 11th championship win and it was on the 18th green losing to Anne Douglas, our youngest member and reasonably new. She will be the one to watch. I don't know if I can keep going - it gets harder each year. The nerves seem to get worse!!! Still, I feel very lucky in that I've got two new hips and I can still walk the fairways. I feel for Aileen as I'm sure she'd just love to be walking but I think knees seem to be the problem by all accounts. I think the Haggs Final must have been very exciting. Jennifer is amazing - never gives up. Good for her.
Keep giving us all the news Carol. I just love logging into the website every other day and keeping up with all the golf news. Thanks for all your hard work.


Linsey Stevenson (Whitecraigs) played Scotland's Home International Senior Team Captain Helen Faulds (Douglas Park) in the Elie Club Championship and won 5/4. She played excellent golf and started off with 3 birdies!
She got 5 "A"s in her highers and is going to Cardonald College till next summer for 3 days a week giving her extra time to devote to golf.--- Good for Renfrewshire ! --- Well done Linsey.
