Sad News

 I am sad to report the passing of Dorothy Loudon a long time member of the County until she had to give up golf due to ill health just over two years ago.

Dorothy was a past Ladies Captain of Strathaven GC She very regularly played in County competitions and through the County made a number of close friends from other clubs.

We send our deepest sympathy to her husband, Jimmy and to all the members of her family.

The funeral will take place at South Lanarkshire Crematorium on Friday 26th September at 2PM.
