Friday 13th October 2006: Gillian ends her season off with another win |
 |
The final of the County Rosebowl
was played today over Haggs Castle Golf Course
between your webmaster Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) and County
Team member Gillian McGinlay (Cochrane Castle). In what can only be described as wonderful over head conditions but extremely heavy underfoot Gillian was out in 38 to Carol's 43 and was 1 up at the turn. |
| Gillian then had
a birdie 2 at the short 11th to Carol's par 3 to go 2 up. Carol then had
a birdie at the 12th to go to 1 down, halved the 13th in par and then
with her stroke at the 14th got it back to all square. Gillian then won
the 15th with a par and Carol got it back to square with a good putt and
a stroke at the 16th. Gillian got a 4 at the 17th against Carol's 5 to go 1 up and with a halved hole in 5 at the 18th gave Gillian victory by 1 hole Gillian had to give Carol 6 shots and as Carol said at least I used them ok --- that is 3 halves and 3 wins. Thanks go to Beth who refereed the match and despite NO SUPPORTERS we had a lovely day. Elizabeth Fazzi (Captain of Haggs Castle) presented the Trophy to Gillian at the end of the day Thanks go to Haggs Castle for the courtesy of the course and to Captain Elizabeth who bought us drinks at the end of our round.

Tuesday 10th October 2006: Ranfurly Castle' Lady Captain's Team are the National Winners |
|
|
|
RLCGA
member Rosemary Reedie who is Captain of Ranfurly
Castle with her team consisting of RLCGA members Mary Craig,
Anne Robinson and Sarah Kirby have just won the National finals of the
Captains Team Trophy at the De Vere Carden Park Golf resort
near Chester yesterday with a grand stableford total of 79
points --- 7 points ahead of their nearest rivals (2 scores out of the 4
to count) The Mens Captains Team winners had a 77 points
Report sent by Rosemary : The competition was run by an Alan Clark of "Golf Management Ltd. I think the team from Essex was 2nd and a team from Cornwall were 3rd. The competition has been going since about mid 90's so we are not the 1st winners ever but he said we were the 1st winners from Scotland. The Scottish men from Esporta Dougalston (Milngavie) were 2nd to a Welsh team. We did not win any big prizes. A nice
holdall and skip each and much more important a trophy (a cut glass vase
with a plinth). I have put the vase on the window sill in the mixed
lounge and taken the plinth to get engraved. We also got a trophy for
winning the regional event. I have to say we are all very chuffed! (in
case you didn't guess when we spoke to you on the phone last night when
we were on our way home!) We "gelled " very well and had 42pts in 1st
nine and 37 in 2nd nine although we thought we might have blown it on
16th and 17th holes with only 1pt on each hole between us. I think we
were getting tired but pars on the 18th and 4pts restored our spirits.
The organiser got a photo taken but I think he might put it on his web
site don't know) Thanks for the story Rosemary and click on the link for details of
the tournament -- still waiting for the update for 2006. |
