West Vets Division Championship Final

Lorraine Campbell of Cardross G.C. played May Hughes of Lanark in the Final of the West Vets Division Championship at Renfrew Golf Club today. At the 7th Lorraine was 2 down but fought back to square the match at the 9th. However May went onto win 5 & 3. Very well done for reaching the Final Lorraine. Congratulations to May and good luck at Blairgowrie!                                                           Thanks to Anna Telfer for the photo.

Kirstin sent this message to Alisoun : 

Just to let you know that I passed my playing ability test at West Lothian last Tuesday. Just waiting on all the certificates to come through, but now means that I have lost my amateur status.Its been a pleasure to be in the D&A County and I have met some great and very supportive people.

I wish you and the team the best of luck at Cardross and I will try my hardest to come down and support the team. I’m sure they will do great!!

Ethel Jack (1939-2012)

On behalf of D&A I would like to reiterate the feelings of many lady golfers in Scotland on the news of Ethel Jack’s death. She will be greatly missed by many, but I’m sure her humour, wit and advice will remain with us for a long time.                                                     Alisoun Fairbairn (Captain, D.&A.)

Ethel Jack (1939-2012)

It was with a sense of sadness that I read in Gillian Kirkwood’s website today of the death yesterday of Ethel Jack. Everyone who attended our Centenary Dinner in 2009 will remember Ethel, who attended as a guest in her official capacity of President of the SLGA. She was gracious and great fun and sportingly took part with Belle Robertson and our then Captain, Kay McColl, in a demonstration organised by the Speaker of the night, Johnny Beattie, with a very definite rugby theme – a scrum!- most of us were happy indeed not to be asked to take part!

A full obituary can be read on Gillian Kirkwood’s site which details her distinguished career in golf over many years.
