The final of the Winter Foursomes was played on a reasonably calm, dry day at the Irvine Golf Club. Both teams were up for the challenge although nerves were evident in the first couple of holes. Audrey and Liz got off to a great start going 2 up after 2 but Ann and Susan managed to win the 3rd to go back to 1 down. It was nip and tuck and the game stayed at 1 up to Liz and Audrey at the turn.  Susan and Ann found their putting strokes on the inward half, making it very difficult for Liz and Audrey to match their opponents form. Gradually momentum began to swing in favour of Ann and Susan. Liz and Audrey weren’t helped by having some unfortunate bounces from good shots. In the end some lovely shots to the green and great putts meant the game finished at the 15th.  Well played both teams and congratulations to Ann and Susan for going one better than last year when they were the beaten finalists.  Thank you to the ladies who came to support our finalists, Irvine Golf Club f...

It is with great sadness that news came of the death of Past Captain, Ella Aitken. Ella, a member of West Kilbride Golf Club, was 93 years old and a long time supporter of the County. She enjoyed catching up with all her golfing friends including the Past County Captains lunch while she was still able. A lovely lady who will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with her son Brian and daughter Pamela at this sad time.
