RENFREWSHIRE COUNTY WEBSITE IS 10 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH


Your Webmaster Carol Fell would like to announce that the RLCGA Website is 10 YEARS OLD this month.
Clare - Marie 2003 County Champion
With the County Championship beginning on Wednesday -- 10 years ago the County Championship final was played at Caldwell between Donna Jackson and Clare-Marie Carlton.
Clare-Marie had a wonderful short game in the morning to beat Jennifer Mack in the 1st Semi Final. Donna Jackson beat Gillian Kyle in the other Semi Final.
 Despite afternoon conditions being dreadful with torrential rain both Donna and Clare- Marie played an enthralling match in near par scoring play The match lasted until the 23rd hole when Donna struck a wayward shot to ruin her chances of gaining her 10th Championship title.

Photographs and videos were introduced into the website ---- CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME

(PLEASE NOTE ALL UNDERLINED LINKS OPEN IN A NEW WINDOW -- SO CLOSE AFTER VIEWING - APOLOGIES IF YOU GET LOST BUT THE ARCHIVES ARE A BIT OLD )

The old website ran through until 2006 and then the world of "BLOGGING" helped allowing other members of the committee to put on posts onto the website.

Carol then set up a Photographic page which now has over 300 albums since 2007 and a Video Channel which now has over 200 videos on it. -- These albums and videos also include golf outside Renfrewshire (West of Scotland, West Vets, Ranfurly Castle, Douglas Park , Curtis Cup, Scottish Seniors and more)
The County Centenary Book was published in 2009.
and another photo book printed in 2010 when the County Team became the Scottish Team Champions and this was given to Past captain Trish Brown -- click on the links of each book to reveal more

In 2012 even a Facebook page for mainly Junior News was also set up.

I would like to thank all who have contributed to the website either by sending  photos or a snippit of news.
However, I would personally like to thank Past Captain Christeen Finlayson for her tremendous input in the Centenary year -- For some one who said she was no use with computers she certainly put on lots of posts and of course was a fantastic help in the proof reading and input into the book.

I would also like  to give special mention to Freda Tuck who works with me quietly in the background, keeping the draws and entries and results of the competitions all going.

Hopefully with more input the website will continue to attract visitors from Renfrewshire and all around Scotland.
