‘With today’s weather, it is difficult to think about golf !!’ Those were my opening words last year, so let’s hope we have more luck and better weather soon for season 2018.
Before I welcome our new members, I feel I should give you a development regarding our Summer Meeting, which may be a disappointment to some. Due to a misunderstanding on our part and on the part of Royal Troon, they were offering us Troon Portland and not the Championship course. We do apologise but overall we will still be playing a lovely course, and for several of us this will not be nearly so daunting !!
We would like to warmly welcome a large number of new members this year, namely Catherine Malcolm (Prestwick St Nicholas), Eileen Hutchison (Ralston), Lynda Bradley & Cherry Briggs (Kilmacolm), Carol King (Clober), Mary McLean, Laura Macdougall, Barbara Aitchison & Aileen MacIntyre (Douglas Park), Patricia Syme (Hilton Park), Debbie Peberdy (Kilmarnock Barassie), Maureen McDevitt & Julie Dickson (Whitecraigs), Jennifer Gough (Clydebank & District), Fiona Armour (Renfrew), Nanette Mutrie (Milngavie) and Carolyn Christie (Troon).
It would be great if you could put these 3 dates in your diaries for our Meetings which are as follows :
We would love to see as many entries as possible, as this creates a lovely atmosphere for which the West Vets is well known. We would also urge you to support the catering at each of these clubs, as they very kindly offer us courtesy of their courses. We would also ask that you consider buying an item of our West Vets clothing, and this season Chris Fowler and Mary Wylie have worked on acquiring new gilets and shirts which hopefully will be on view at our first Meeting. It does impress a Club when they see a large number of ladies in our colours, and some of you may also need them for our team matches.
Your fixture cards were either taken at the RLCGA Beetle Drive on Feb 4th, or they will be arriving shortly by post.
Wishing you all a most successful and enjoyable 2018 season.
June Lockhart (West Vets Captain)
