Karen

AGM

 Yesterday 36 ladies attended the 93rd AGM, held in the Ranfurly Room at the Club.  It was a very icy morning so it is good to report that no broken bones happened as a result of venturing out.  Morag welcomed Karen as our new Captain for 2023 and the Silver Trophies from 2022 were presented.  I am sure  we all wish Karen all the very best for a successful year ahead.

ISOBEL McCALLUM DEATH

 

Isobel McCallum, a past lady captain of Ranfurly Castle Golf Club, and known to many of our current lady members, sadly died recently at the age of 100. Isobel celebrated this landmark birthday in June 2022.

Isobel lead a full and varied life, but most recently was living in a care home in the Borders closer to her family. We send condolences to her family.

AGM

 Just another quick reminder that the AGM is being held in the Ranfurly Room on Saturday 21st Jan., 10.30 for 11.00am.  If you would like a coffee before the meeting, please arrive in good time to order and allow the staff to time to serve everyone.

CAPTAINS DRIVE IN

 Our new Captain drove off from the first tee at 10.00am on Sunday 8th January 2023.  Quite a crowd had turned up to support both Karen and Alistair Howe, the new Club Captain.  It was a cool but dry morning and the Captains' Quaich Stableford competition followed, over 12 holes.  Well done to the other 2 ladies who actually played and very many congratulations to Vivien who was the overall winner with 24 points.

SAD NEWS - DOROTHY SIMPSON

 I am very saddened to tell you that Dorothy Simpson died suddenly and unexpectedly this afternoon.

Dorothy was a well known and well liked member of the golf club and had led a full and active life outside golf. We will all miss her.

Funeral details will be communicated when known.
