Death of County Member

It is with much sadness that I announce the death on Sunday of Nancy McCall, Strathaven . Nancy was a member of the county since 1993 and regularly competed in competitions and attended all social events while her health allowed.

Nancy was a very friendly lady and was well liked by those who knew her.

Our thoughts are with her son Hamish, daughter Lisbeth, daughter in law Agnes, son in law Joe and her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The funeral will be held on Tuesday 19th November at 1.00pm in Avondale Old Parish Church, Kirk Street Strathaven, and thereafter to Strathaven Cemetery.

The winners were Heather Stewart and Maj Stewart, Hamilton , with Anne Lloyd and Pat Casey runner up.

Pamela returns to European Tour

Pamela Pretswell Asher played her first competitive game in 18 months following the birth of her daughter, Kirsty. She is thoroughly enjoying motherhood but has much less time to practice and has less sleep..
She played in the Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club this week. She started well with rounds of 69 and 71 to easily make the cut. In the awful weather conditions of the last two days she finished 74, 80.
Nice to see her back.
