Renfrewshire still celebrating county championship success!
By CAROL FELL
Renfrewshire Ladies' County Golf Association held their 101st AGM at Haggs Castle Golf Club this week. After a very successful 2010 season most of the county team were there to celebrate the occasion with captain Trish Brown and vice-captain Maureen Woodhead.
For the first time in 23 years we WON the Scottish County Finals! Coincidentally the last time we won this was in 1987 when our honorary president, Eileen Gibb was the county captain ... I knew you were a good choice, Eileen!
Perhaps you might be interested to know that the last time the team qualified three times in a row was 1959, 60 and 61 - yes,50 years ago! In fact the teams qualified six years in a row - 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61! That’s not too much to ask … is it?
 Anyway for those who were not at Bothwell, it was the most excruciating time, not only watching for crucial putts to drop or in my case shutting my eyes and waiting to hear either the groans or the cheers, but also the nervous waiting to hear at the end on Sunday afternoon if we had won on a countback against Midlothian. Which we did!
