Winner of the Hugh Campbell Quaich Patron of the Charity Tri Am, Michael Brown with Linda McDougall Friday, 25th September 2009 Our final Greenlees match of the season was held today with an away game at Haggs Castle. The course was playing long as the ground was wet and the rough was tricky and deep. Strong winds made the conditions even more difficult, but at least the afternoon stayed dry and even the sun managed to make a brief appearance during the afternoon. Unfortunately we were beaten in our final game. The final result was Haggs Castle 8.5 Greenock 0.5 Thursday, 24th September 2009 14 Hole Stableford 1st: Margaret Austin - 27 points 2nd: Kerri McGill - 26 points Wednesday, 2nd September 2009 Congratulations to our own Mo Neilson and Elspeth Hanlon (Gourock) who won the Shotgun Greensome Stableford held today at Pollock Golf Club.

Tuesday, 1st September 2009 Our penultimate Greenless game this season was held today with an away fixture at East Renfrewshire Golf Club. Despite it being officially the wettest August on record, the course was in great condition. So much rain had fallen recently, that the water level from the burn in front of the 15th green had risen so high, that water was cascading down and over the top of one of the foot bridges - something which the home players had never seen happen even in winter. Fortunately the rain stayed away until all the games had finished. The overall result was a loss for the Greenock team. East Renfrewshire 7.5 Greenock 1.5. Tuesday, 25th August 2009 Today we played our last home Greenlees match of the season against the team from Lanark. With all the rain in the last week, the course was understandably very wet but the greens looked great and held up well. A couple of torrential downpours mid afternoon added to the testing conditions for all the players and gave new meaning to the term "casual water". The final result was a win for the Greenock team. Greenock 6.5 Lanark 2.5. Monday, 24th August 2009 Our annual fun event of the season, the Captain v Secretary match was held today. Weather wise the evening turned out a beautiful one and great fun and merriment was had during the game. Even more jollity was had later, when after having a lovely meal in the Clubhouse, many golfing stories and jokes were shared. The overall result was a resounding victory for the Captain's team by 4 - 0. Click on the photo below to see a selection of photos.
