WINTER FOURSOMES SEMI FINAL - GOES TO THE 18TH HOLE

Winter Foursomes Semi Final played at Cowglen

Home player Alyson McGinnigle with partner Carol McNally (Williamwood) had an extremely exciting semi final winter foursomes tie giving 7 shots to Gill Unick and Lorraine Morris also of Williamwood.

Alyson and Carol got off to a good start with some pars and a birdie resulting in being 4 up at turn.  Gill and Lorraine seriously rallied and played fabulous golf in the back 9. 

With ground conditions being extremely wet, 6 holes were shortened and indeed, the par 3 12th was closed.  This resulted in the par 4 13th being converted to 2 x par 3s.  

From the 10th hole Gill and Lorraine won the next 6 holes with a net score of 1 under par. Fantastic golf.  This resulted in the Williamwood pairing being 2 up with 3 to play.

Alyson and Carol won the par 3 16th with par bringing the game closer.  The long par 4 17th was the last stroking hole for Gill and Lorraine.  Alyson and Carol won this hole with bogey 5.  Game now square.  All to play for going up a shortened 18th.

Two good tee shots were followed by two good second shots.  Again a winter green with Gill and Lorraine posting bogey 5. 

Alyson had a downhill putt for par and a win.  The ball went in!  Could not have been closer, all down to the last ball struck.

Thanks go to Carol McNally for the report

Alison and Carol now meet Linda Ellery and Elizabeth Munro (East Renfrewshire) in the final -- To be arranged
