| Wednesday 15th August 2007: Eilidh wins the Tom Lehman Trophy
|
| Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm)
won the Tom Lehman trophy played over Troon Lochgreen Golf
Course. Eilidh scored a 77 against the CSS of 74. This result is one
better than last year when Eilidh won the best nett prize. This trophy
already has the name of Briggs on it with Megan having lifted the trophy
3 times. As Eilidh is only 13, the name Briggs could be on this trophy
for several years to come. |

 Eilidh
Briggs (Kilmacolm), who started the week by becoming Renfrewshire's
youngest-ever women's county team player, ended it by winning her first
national title - the Scottish Under-14 girls' championship, played in
pouring rain at Brunston Castle, Ayrshire.
Eilidh, who plays off five and recently, at the age of 13, retained the
Janice Moodie Trophy - Windyhill's open competition for girls, had a
gross score of 78 to win the Carrie Cup at Brunston Castle. |
| Friday 6th July 2007: Eilidh wins the Janice Moodie Trophy for the
second year running

Eilidh Briggs,
13-year-old Kilmacolm Golf Club junior
member, won the Janice Moodie Trophy for the second
year in a row at the girls’ open tournament, sponsored by the
Glasgow-born LPGA player, at her former home golf club of
Windyhill.
The trophy goes to the player with the lowest net score from all
three age group categories and Eilidh, pictured left, had
a very good net 71 off five of a handicap over a wet course with
very little run on the fairways.
Eilidh’s older sister Megan won the 15 to 17 years’ section
with a net 78. Kirsten Scott (Windyhill) won the 10 to 14 years
category with a net 72 off 13 and Jennifer Linklater (Largs) was
best in the 18 to 21 years group with a net 78 off eight of a
handicap.
Ayrshire women’s county champion Lesley Hendry (Routenburn) won
the best scratch score award with a 79, pipping Megan Briggs, who
also had a gross 79, on the better inward half.

the course decided the overall result! The Renfrewshire girls had
tremendous team spirit, were a credit to their Clubs on and off the
course and seemed to enjoy their day.
Results: Winners Ayrshire 7 pts
R-up Renfrewshire 5.5pts
3rd Dumbartonshire & Argyll 3.5 pts

there ALL day and without whom I would not have coped!! Also, thank you
to all the girls who practised so hard and to their parents for all
their support.- it's much appreciated.
Thanks also go to Cowglen GC for courtesy of their course and clubhouse
on Monday. I don't know if the members knew what had hit them on a
normally quiet day of the week!
Report from Gillian Kyle (Junior Secretary) |
| Monday 4th June 2007:Renfrewshire Girls win against Lanarkshire
Girls
|
Renfrewshire Girls had a successful match against
Lanarkshire.
On Sunday 3rd June, Renfrewshire Girls played Lanarkshire at
Cambuslang Golf Club on a very damp, thundery day. This 9 hole
course was in perfect order and was a very good venue for a girls' match
Being a strange course to all the girls, it was ideal to play the 9
holes twice rather than 18 new ones.The plan was to play foursomes to
practise for the Kennedy Salver. (1 game was a singles game as
Renfrewshire could only field 7 players)
Results-
(Renfrewshire girls first)
Heather Conejo beat Jennifer Black -3 and 2
Catherine Conejo & Alyson McKechin halved with Jennifer Gemmell and
Abigail Gliksten
Lesley Cosh and Natasha Qayum beat Nicola McLuckie and Kirsty Hogg -6
and 4
Alison Howie and Heather Howie lost to Emma Caddow and Nicole Benson
-6and 5
Our thanks go to Margaret Noblett for organising the game and
Cambuslang GC for the courtesy of the course. |
| Wednesday 30th May 2007: Kennedy Salver Team announced
|
With Eilidh Briggs having been selected for the
senior team this year, there are a few new names in our Junior Team
Catherine Conejo-Williamwood
Lesley Cosh-Cowglen
Alison Howie-Whitecraigs
Alyson McKechin-Elderslie
Natasha Qayum-Ranfurly Castle
Nicky Wilson-Whitecraigs
Saorcha Warren-Eastwood-reserve
We are beginning our countdown to June 18th with a practice and meeting
at MCGA on May 31st.The Kennedy Salver has a new format this year which
involves foursomes and singles in a round-robin format against every
other county-all in one day!
On June 3rd, we are playing a “friendly” match at Cambuslang GC
against Lanarkshire. We are hoping to play 8 aside that day so Heather
Conejo and Heather Howie are also playing to gain some experience for
future years.
The following weekend, some of the girls will have a practice round at
Cowglen, others on the Tuesday, then a course walk round
Cowglen with Dorothy Yates as our expert guide on the
Wednesday! There is so much golf on for the girls just now, never mind
exams, hockey, athletics, tennis, Duke of Edinburgh trips etc.
I will be telephoning our “volunteers” to organise duties for the 18th
over the next couple of weeks and am grateful for all their willingness.
I hope to report another triumph for the girls in a few weeks time. |
