LADIES PAST CAPTAINS DAY - 13th August

It was my pleasure to welcome 10 Past Captains on the first tee on Rosemount for their annual Competition.  All ladies set off in dry weather however the rain that was forecast duly arrived and those playing on the Wee Course very sensibly made the decision to skip the golf!!

Fourteen Past Captains were joined by myself and Vice Captain Maggie Marshall for an enjoyable two course meal in the dining room afterwards.  My thanks to Margaret Hunter for producing the commemorative menu, celebrating the 100th anniversary of ladies becoming equal members, and for giving us all an interesting tale on the life of Miss Margot Cox who served as Ladies Captain from 1934 to 1938.

The winner of the Muriel Rae Claret Jug was Fiona Johnston with 32 points, just ahead of  Gill Tissell with 30 points (on countback from Meriel Walker and Janice Lang)  - very good scoring in less than favourable conditions!!

Thank you to all Past Captains for attending and making it a memorable day.
