THIRD TIME LUCKY FOR THE LAST QUARTER FINAL WINTER FOURSOMES TIE

The last of the Quarter Finals of the Winter Foursomes was eventually played today on their third attempt at Ranfurly Castle Golf Club . What a beautiful day they had with the match being played on the full course, with rainbows (pictured left) and sunshine - a total delight
Janette McCartney (Erskine) and Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) were the eventual winners against Lois Brown (Kilmacolm) and Carol Anderson (Eastwood) by 3 and 1. In a very closely contested match that really was only decided by the odd putt -- everyone played to their total surprise -- "REALLY QUITE WELL"

Carol Anderson playing off a handicap of 20 had some superb shots and Lois who also played well and putted exceptionally well (eg a 40 foot putt at the 16th to win the hole !) --- The match was a close contest.
Janette and Carol (Fell) had to give 8 strokes but were delighted to have played well to manage to overcome the strong challenge.
When the match finished on the 17th your Webmaster Carol tried to take a photograph on the 18th tee (pictured left -- click to enlarge)  with her camera on a time delay. However she was a bit slow trying to run into the photo -- hence the missing Carol (F) and the poor photo of Carol (A), Lois and Janette!! 
They now meet Morag Little and Thea Morgan (Whitecraigs) in the Semi Final. The other semi final is between Margaret Gray and Glennis Rentoul (Old Ranfurly) and Mary Hardie and Helen Abram (Ranfurly Castle)


The 19th Hole was enjoyed by all and many thanks go to Rosemary Reedie who took the photo back in the clubhouse
