Tribute from SLGA President Ethel Jack


Scottish ladies golf has
lost a great character
with the passing of
Tony Moffat

Ethel Jack, president of the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association, has paid tribute to the late Mrs Tony Moffat with the following words:

With the passing of Tony Moffat, Scottish ladies' golf has lost a great character. Tony was an avid supporter and spectator of Scottish female golf at all levels. Her contribution to golf was enormous.

She gave her heart and soul to golf, in particular to Aberdeenshire and to the Scottish Veteran Ladies' Golfing Association. But no matter what event she attended, she supported everyone and spoke to everyone.

Tony was a gentle, kind lady - always cheerful, smiling and laughing. I, and many others, will best remember Tony as the lady who drove her motorhome the length and breadth of the country to watch golf and and who always had a bagful of Werthers Originals to hand out to all and sundry.

She was known affectionately as "The Sweetie Lady" by many of us.

Ladies' golf in Scotland has lost a wonderful person and we will miss her very much indeed.
+The death notice in "The Press and Journal" today states that the funeral will be private, at her request.
