Aberdeen Ladies' Sheena Wood has been explaining why she is at home in the Granite City instead of playing, as selected, for Scotland in the European Senior Women's Amateur Team Championship at Sierra Golf Club, Petkowice in Poland this week.
"I had an accidental fall, injuring my left elbow and it has put me out of action for a few weeks. I am very disappointed to be missing the European team championship in Poland. However, I am already back working on short game and should be ready for British, Scottish Vets title and Senior Home Internationals," said Sheena who would have been one of the top Scots in Poland.

JENNIFER RANKINE WINS THE HAGGS CASTLE CHAMPIONSHIP

Jennifer is presented with the Championship Trophy

In the Haggs Castle Ladies Final, a repeat of the 2015 final, young Jennifer Rankine was defending her title against 2014 Champion and current Carradale GC Ladies Champion, Laura McGeachy. 
 The game was very tight and all square after 9 holes with both players having made the turn in 38 shots. Jennifer won the 10th after a concession by Laura. The play was even over the next few holes and Jennifer was two up after a straightforward par at the 15th. Jennifer had a birdie 3 at the 16th to retain the Championship by 3 and 2.
WELL DONE JENNIFER

MANY THANKS GO TO PRESIDENT JENNIFER MACK AND VICE CAPTAIN JUNE LOCKHART

Jennifer, Carol, Shirley and June

A silent auction took place at the Beetle drive in February at Ralston Golf Club with various donations.  
RLCGA President Jennifer Mack donated a  round  of golf at the Ladies Golf Club Troon. Vice captain June Lockhart had the winning bid at the  auction and on Sunday 21st August Committee member Shirley Back and Webmaster Carol Fell were both treated to a great day out. 
Shirley had her very own caddy - "Big Al" and it was an individual stableford that was played. The match was very tight with Jen and June both having 33 points and Shirley and Carol 32 points.
June was the overall winner !!

June receives the winning prize 

Jen presented June with her prize  (A Troon Open Marker) and in fact we all got prizes --Tees and Sweeties !
We then all enjoyed a delicious lunch after the event.
Thanks go to both Jen and June for their marvellous hospitality and great day out.    

JENNIFER RETAINS THE JUNIOR TITLE.

The Renfrewshire Junior Championship Final was played at Eastwood Golf Club this afternoon in lovely sunny conditions. It was a repeat of last year's final between Jennifer Rankine (Haggs Castle ) and Anna Mackenzie (East Renfrewshire) which Jennifer had won comfortably. 

Jennifer and Anna

Today's match, however, was much closer-with Anna winning the 1st hole with a birdie! Jennifer responded winning the next 2 holes, also with birdies! A couple of poor holes by Anna gave Jennifer a comfortable lead of 3up after the 6th but she fought back to be 1 down after 8. Another birdie at the 9th, let Jennifer be 2 up at the turn, with a front 9 of 37. (1 over par). 
A lovely birdie putt from just off the green at the short 11th saw her lead extend to 3 again. But Anna won the 12th with a good up and down for par and the 13th was halved in birdie 4's. A loose 2nd shot by Anna at the 14th let Jennifer win the hole with a par. Jennifer overshot the green at the par 3 15th but recovered with a lovely chip  and sunk her putt for her par. Anna had played a lovely tee shot but just missed the birdie putt so now Jennifer was 3 up with 3 to play. 2 good drives at the 16th but adrenaline kicked in for Anna and she put her 2nd shot into the back left bunker. Jennifer played safely on to the green and 2 putts was enough to give her the Championship for the 3rd time.
Both girls were a credit to their clubs and their families. It was a lovely game to referee and watch. 

Congratulations Jennifer and hard luck Anna. You both played some lovely golf.

Jennifer

Anna

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish the Mackenzie family good luck with their move to Amsterdam next week! Audrey has been a fantastic Junior Convenor for the last 2 years and will be greatly missed.

HOME PLAYER LIZ HALE TAKES THE GOLD MEDAL AT THE AUGUST MEDAL AT CALDWELL

Andy Murray - Gold Medal winner 

45 ladies played in today's medal at Caldwell Golf Club . It was a dry and reasonably warm day although the course was playing it's full length and maybe a bit more.

The CSS was 75 and "reduction only" (SSS 72). The adverse scoring was blamed by many on Andy Murray's epic Olympic Gold Medal win in the early hours of this morning ..... or could it simply have been a case of it wasn't wet and windy!!!!

Overall winner was Liz Hale (Caldwell) with a 73 net and Denise Cowan (Ranfurly Castle) won the scratch with a gross 84.

Emma Kennedy

Former junior and newly re-joined county member, Emma Kennedy of Paisley, finished second in both the gross and Division 1 net competitions (Handicap 0 - 12) - well done Emma in your first county competition for some time.

Division 1 (H'Cap 0 - 12)  
1st:  Liz Hale (Caldwell) 85-12 = 73
2nd: Emma Kennedy (Paisley) 85-11=74
3rd: Carol Fell (Ranfurly Castle) 86-10=76



Division 2 (H' Cap 13+)  
1st:  Muriel Young (Old Ranfurly) 92-26 = 76
2nd:Maureen Taggart (Old Ranfurly) 94-17=77

SCOTLAND GIRLS LOSE TO THE IRISH ON DAY 3 AND END UP RUNNERS UP

FROM THE LGU WEBSITE

Scotland's Under-18 girls team with the "Swansea Spoon," the runners-up trophy. Picture by Cal Carson Golf Agency.

Ireland have won the Girls' Home Internationals title for the first time. They came from behind to beat Scotland 5-4 in the Under-18s' championship decider at Conwy Golf Club, North Wales.
The Scots had beaten Wales 7-2 and England 6-3 and when they established a 2-1 lead over Ireland in the final day foursomes, it looked as if Scotland would win the title for the first time since their back-to-back successes in 2006 and 2007.
But a talented Irish squad rose to the challenge and won four of the six singles.
After Shannon McWilliam had won the top singles for Scotland, beating Mairead Martin 3 and 1 by winning five holes on the trot from the 13th, the Irish really got down to business.
Annabel Wilson beat Joanne Free 5 and 3 after being three holes up after six.
Then Irish U18s champion Julie McCarthy won by 4 and 2 against Louise Duncan, winning the seventh, eighth, 13th and 16th without reply.
Niamh McSherry put a fourth point on the board for Ireland by beating Jennifer Rankine 7 and 6 after getting to five up on the eighth tee.
Hazel MacGarvie gave Scotland a glimmer of hope of turning the Irish tide when she scored her sixth win in six matches - MVP of the girls' tournament - by beating Valerie Clancy 6 and 5 with a glory run of wins at the seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th, 12th and 13th.
That meant the overall score stood at 4-4 with everything hanging on the result of the match between Jillian Farrell, winner of five out of five for the Scots, and Lauren Walsh, playing in her first Girls' Home Internationals for Ireland.
Farrell lost the first two holes but twice got back to all square, winning the eighth and then the 12th after losing the sixth and the 10th.
All square on the 13th tee, Walsh struck a body blow to the Scot's hopes by going two up with wins at the 13th and 14th.
Farrell got one back by winning the 15th and, one down with three to play, Jillian needed "only" to get a square game for Scotland to win the title.
But Walsh closed out her opponent and clinched a 5-4 win for Ireland by taking the 16th and 17th for a 3 and 1 win she will remember the rest of her golfing days.
England, who had come into the tournament seeking a ninth title in a row, finished third by beating Wales 6.5-2.5
They took a 2-1 lead from the foursomes into the singles in which there were clear-cut wins for Lily-May Humphreys (5 and 3 v Lucy Jones), Amelia Williamson (5 and 3 v Ffion Evans), Annabel Fuller (4 and 3 v Caitlin Evans-Brand) and Louisa Brunt (5 and 4 v Nicola Wainwright.
The Welsh tail wagged with Cary Worby winning the 15th, 17th and 18th for a two-hole win over Isobel Wardle. And Ffion Vineall won the 14th, 15th and 17th to snatch a square match with Sharna Deutrieux.

WOMENS HOME INTERNATIONALS 

Scotland produced their best performance of the week to squash Ireland's lingering hopes that a win might get them into a countback for the title in the event of England and Wales drawing their final match. The Scots, who had lost to Wales and England, beat the Irish 5-4 after taking a 2-1 lead from the foursomes. Connie Jaffrey, two up after three holes, went on to beat Jessica Carty 3 and 2. Jess Meek, thanks to successes at the 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th, scored her fourth win of the week, beating Jessica Ross 5 and 4. In the top singles, Hannah McCook, one of two holes up most of the way against Louise Coffey eventually was held to a square game, thanks to the Irish player winning both the 16th and 17th. And 2014 
Curtis Cup player Eilidh Briggs, one down at the turn, won the 14th, 17th and 18th to get a plucky halved match with Maria Dunne, a member of this year's winning GB&I team. Yet another Curtis Cup player, Ireland's Olivia Mehaffey. won by two holes against former Scottish champion Clara Young who put up a stuff performance as Mehaffey scored her fifth win of the week. Scotland's Heather Munro went into the final session of play with a record of five wins from five outings. Ireland's Sinead Sexton, three up after eight, smashed the 100 per cent winning tag by beating the Scot 2 and 1. And so the first combined Women's and Girls Home Internationals came to a conclusion. Were they a success? Undoubtedly although they did make for longer days!

Scottish Girls'  and Womens' Teams 

SCOTLAND v IRELAND FOR GIRLS' TITLE BUT 

SCOTS WOMEN ARE OUT OF IT AT CONWY

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

England's eight-year reign as champions of the Girls' Home International matches is over.
After a draw on the first day with Ireland, they were toppled by Scotland who beat England 6-3 at Conwy Golf Club, North Wales today 

Ireland, who beat Wales 7-2, will play Scotland in the title decider tomorrow. (Friday)
If the Scots win or even draw with Ireland, they will be girls' champions for the first time since 2007.
Ireland, who have never won the Under-18s title, will end their lean years if they can beat the Scots, as they did last year by a 6-3 margin.
Twelve months ago England beat Scotland 5.5-3.5 at this level but this is a strong Scots side with Hazel MacGarvie and Jillian Farrell twin towers of strength in the foursomes and in the singles.
Scotland took a 2.5-0.5 lead from the foursomes and that became a 3pt lead when Shannon McWilliam found her best form late in a 3 and 2 win over England's Lily-May Humphreys in the top singles.
Humphreys was one up after 12 holes but then McWilliam produced the victory surge by winning the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th for victory.
England had the better of the middle-order singles ties with Emily Price beating Joanne Free 2 and 1, and Louisa Brunt winning by 2 and 1 over Jennifer Rankine, while Amelia Williamson had a square match with Louise Duncan.
It was left to the "Young Firm" of Farrell and MacGarvie to wrap things up for Scotland.
Farrell won by 5 and 3 against the highly rated Annabel Fuller, and MacGarvie, Scotland's U18s girls champion, polished off the challenge of Isobel Wardle by 4 and 3.
But Scotland will need to raise their game one more time against Ireland who were impressive 7-2 winners today against Wales. The Irish took the foursomes 3-0 and the singles 4-2.

Scotland's women flattered to deceive. They played very well to take a 2-1 foursomes lead over title-holders England but were not at the races in the singles with the English winning the first five ties.

Only Heather Munro was a Scotland winner in the afternoon, by 4 and 2. She has played well over the two days.

So a 2-1 lead became a 6-3 defeat for Scotland.

Ireland and Wales drew 4.5pt apiece and it well be a triple tie for the title if Ireland finish with a win over Scotland while Wales and England draw. If that is the case it will be a three-way countback and Ireland will be looking for a big win over Scotland to boost their games-won column for any possible tie-breaker.

England, winners of the U18s' title for the past eight years in a row, drew 4.5-4.5 with a fighting Irish side.
The Scots edged ahead 2-1 in the morning girls' foursomes and then overpowered the host nation's girls 5-1 in the singles.
It was the second year in a row that Scotland had beaten Wales but this was a more comprehensive win despite the fact that Scotland's top-ranked girl, Shannon McWilliam lost the top singles match by 3 and 2 to Lucy Jones who surged into a four-hole lead after only six holes and was five up after eight.

There were good wins for the Scots by Joanne Free (5 and 3), Louise Duncan (2 holes), Jennifer Rankine (2 and 1), Jillian Farrell (3 and 1) and U18s champion Hazel MacGarvie (3 and 2).
