The team photos are of The McRyder Cup.  This is the West of Scotland Ladies (Williamwood) playing The East of Scotland Ladies (Ratho Park).  We play match play team of 12 in foursomes; greensomes and fourballs.  Our inaugural year was 2014 owing to The Ryder Cup being at Gleneagles.  Williamwood hosted that year and won.  Unlike, it's Big Brother The Ryder Cup, The McRyder Cup is played every year.  Therefore, year 2015 was hosted by Ratho Park and Williamwood again won.

Yesterday, 27th September, the event returned to Williamwood, who again won, 8-4.  Owing to holidays, Ratho were unable to field a full team, therefore, Ringers Jean Irvine and Marion Munro of Ranfurly Castle stepped up to the challenge of playing for The East of Scotland. What a great day and a fantastic tournament which is now a permanent fixture in the diaries.


The Ryder Cup Vice Captain Paul Laurie photo was taken at The Carrick at Loch Lomond which Carol  recently played at.

Thanks go to RLCGA Secretary Carol for all the news and photos
