THE 2010 WINTER FOURSOMES CHAMPIONS HAVE A TOUGH MATCH AT OLD RANFURLY

The 2010 Winter Foursomes Winners

Janette McCartney (Erskine)  and Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) --- the 2010 Winter Foursomes Champions had a tough opening tie in this year's Winter Foursomes at Old Ranfurly today. The match which was meant to have been played last Monday (one of the downpour days!) was luckily able to be played today (Sunday 23rd October) ---  9 holes dry and the remaining holes in the rain.
The opposition Merope Dunlop and Maureen Taggart from the Old Course Ranfurly received 5 shots and they used them well using 4 of of them with winning 3 and halving 1 hole.
However Janette and Carol played very steadily and were 3 up after 9 holes, won the 10th and then Merope hit  in a fantastic 9 wood at the long 11th to 3 feet for a birdie 4 to win the hole. Maureen chipped in for a par at the 15th (the green next to the clubhouse) for a half to remain 3 down with 3 to play.
A par 3 at the 16th was enough for Carol and Janette to make it through to the next round.
In the other match of the day Marion Munro and Rosemary Reedie (Ranfurly Castle) beat Patricia Davidson and Sandra Littlejohn (Erskine) at the 19th
