THANKS GO TO THE CADDIES

All,
Due to the excitement of the weekend, I omitted to thank the caddies.
My thanks go to our caddy mistress Elaine , for organising the caddy rota.
With a caddy on the bag,
It's a team game. I know the input a caddy has on their player's decisions.
It inspires confidence in the player  and as the saying goes, 2 heads are better than one.
My many thanks go to the RLCGA members who caddied over the weekend and special thanks to  the Ayrshire and D & A caddies, who also caddied for us and turned up in Renfrewshire colours.!!!
After an exhausting weekend, My legs  and blood pressure have now returned  normal!!!

RLCGA Captain Gillian McGinlay would like to thank all her  County Team players on a tremendous  performance at Hilton Park.
With Eildh Briggs being injured, Iona Stephen unable to play, and Alyson McKechin now on her Pro Tour ambition -- Renfrewshire were under great pressure --
The team of Megan Briggs, Katrina Milne, Carol Whyte , Donna Jackson, Liz Stewart, Gillian Kyle, new County Team player Denise Cowan  and even Gillian McGinlay herself who played on the first day because Megan was unavailable.
Megan was the star performer having played in the Home Internationals in Wales with 3 single wins there --  got back up to Hilton Park and played on Saturday and Sunday in both the foursomes and singles and was still undefeated -- What a week for Megan
It was nearly there but the team should be proud -- Scottish County Team Runners Up

ANGUS WIN SCOTTISH COUNTY TITLE- RENFREWSHIRE ARE RUNNERS UP

Angus County - The 2014 Team Champions

Angus have won the Scottish women's county championship for a second time in three years.
The North Division champions beat Borders, East Lothian and Renfrewshire at Hilton Park Golf Club, Glasgow to win the title with a 100 per cent record.
Angus's last match was the hardest of the three.
They beat Renfrewshire 5-4, coming back from a 2-1 foursomes deficit to take the singles 4-2 for the match and the title.
Winners for Angus in the singles were Gillian Montieth, Claire Robertson, Jacqueline Sneddon and Ailsa Summers.
The other team members who played their part over the three days were county champion Ann Ramsay, Jackie Brown, Claire Penman and Jemma Chalmers.
East Lothian, hammered 8-1 by Angus on Saturday, completed an unhappy weekend when they lost 5-4 to Borders. South Division champions do not win many matches at the County Finals but they put 2pt on their scoreboard by taking the foursomes 2-1 and then sharing the singles 3-3 with East Lothian.
So Angus topped the table with 6pt out of six. Renfrewshire were runners-up with 3pt (one win, one draw). Borders were third with 2pt (one win) and East Lothian were fourth with 1pt (halved match with Renfrewshire on Day 1).

Angus, the only team to win on the opening day of the Scottish women's county championship finals at Hilton Park Golf Club, sit on top of table, ahead of East Lothians and Renfrewshire who drew 4 1/2-4 1/2, and Borders whom they beat 6 1/2-2 1/2
On Day 2 it is Borders v Renfrewshire and Angus v East Lothian.
