Denise and Maureen before tee off Denise is presented with trophy from Vice Captain Gillian Kyle. |
The final was played between Denise Cowan (Ranfurly Castle) and Maureen Taggart (Old Ranfurly) on Friday 10th October, having been postponed from Monday 7th due to bad weather. When play started, the rain had not long gone off and we were left with wet ground conditions but sunny skies overhead.
Denise got off to a great start winning the first 5 holes with steady golf.
Maureen was struggling a bit playing off the wet ground and did not really make use of the 10 shots she was receiving. She looked like turning the match around when she halved the 6th and won the 7th, but a birdie from Denise at the 9th stopped the comeback.
More good play saw Maureen win the 11th and 12th but it was a little too late. Denise steadied herself again and retained the Rosebowl on the 14th.
Congratulations!
Our thanks go to East Renfrewshire Golf Club for the
courtesy of the course which was in lovely condition- if you ignored the
puddles on the first few holes!
