It is with much sadness that we have learned of the death this morning of Christine Steedman, a Past Captain and Past President of Fife County. 

Christine was a very popular lady and a great friend to many including many of our own members and will be sorely missed.

We send our deepest sympathy to her family.

Last Winter's Final is finally played.

 Congratulations to Jean Maddock and Edna Taylor in winning the 2019/2020 Winter Foursomes Final at Hamilton Golf Club today. In a very close match They beat Christine Paterson and Mel Watt 2&1.

I am told they enjoyed the match in spite of the conditions you can see in Angela's photographs.

Well done Megan

 Many congratulation to Megan Docherty, Bishopbriggs, on winning the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Vase at the SGF 36 Hole competition at Macdonald Cardrona GC, Peebles, yesterday.

On a course measuring over 6,000 yards for the girls Megan came from behind, shooting an excellent 75 to add to her opening 80, to win by 1 shot from Grace Crawford, North Berwick.

Leah Bryce, Sandyhills, finished 13th and Abigail McCafferty, Airdrie, 16th.

Well done all for taking part on a long course at this time of year.

Jean's Funeral Arrangements

 The funeral of Jean Pollock will be held at South Lanarkshire Crematorium at 12noon on Wednesday11th August. Numbers attending will be limited due to the ongoing restrictions but a number of Ladies plan to stand in the car park.

Death of County Member

It is with much sadness that I announce the death last night of Jean Pollock. Jean, a member of Hamilton GC, was a very long serving and very supportive member of the county, initially as a player and caddy. After she stopped playing she continued to support the team at many Jamborees and was ever present at  County Social Events including the Coffee Morning in March. Unfortunately Jean broke her leg last week due to a fall and this may have been too much for her to cope with. 

We will  miss her. We extend our sympathy to all her family and friends.

Cancellation of fixtures

Dear Ladies

Regrettably, the committee and I have decided to cancel the remaining fixtures of the 2020 season due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This will include the forthcoming winter foursomes.

Despite courses now being open and clubhouses likely to be in operation soon, we felt that many clubs will wish to have their courses available to their own members for what will now be a short season.

Whilst this has been a difficult decision we also wished to ensure the health and well being of our members.

Subscriptions for this season will rollover to the 2021 season.

We are however hoping to run another fun competition in a July and Anne Lloyd will be in touch shortly with further details.

The committee and I wish you well for the rest of the year and we hope to return next year with a full fixture list so you can enjoy some competitive golf and reacquaint many friendships.

Best wishes

Fiona Norris
