Click Here Renfrewshire, the host county, won the
West Division women’s inter-county team golf championship at
East Renfrewshire Golf Club today
After beating defending champions Lanarkshire,
then Dunbartonshire & Argyll,
Renfrewshire completed a clean sweep over the three days by beating
Ayrshire 5 ½-3 ½ .
In the morning foursomes we were down in all 3 matches at the 16th hole
but with brilliant play and birdies the games were turned round and we
were able to go into the afternoon singles with a 2.5 / 0.5 lead.
The supporters had to endure great stress when somewhere around the 13th
hole we realised Renfrewshire were DOWN in all all 6 matches .
However, leading the field was Clare- Marie Carlton, who was 2 down with
2 to play against L Hendry and won the 17th and 18th to halve her match.
Donna Jackson won her tie on the 18th, Lesley Robertson
halved against Catherine Malcolm and then Gillian McGinlay had a
superb birdie down the last to secure a wonderful victory
Renfrewshire’s top player was Donna Jackson (Cochrane Castle)
with 4 1/2pt out of a possible six. Donna was followed closely by
Stirling University student Clare-Marie Carlton (Fereneze) with
4pt.
Dunbartonshire & Argyll finished
runners-up by beating Lanarkshire
5-4 in the other last-day match.
Renfrewshire now go forward to the Scottish county finals at The
Hirsel Golf Club, Coldstream from September 22 to 24.
