Morag Duncan a first in Stonehaven Golf Club's
120-year history

Stonehaven Golf Club, founded in 1888, is one of the oldest clubs in the North-east of Scotland but it has never had a lady as club manager/secretary at any time over those 120 years ... until now!
Step forward Morag Duncan whose experience in balancing the books and also as a golf club member and official make her an ideal choice for the position.
"I have been a golfer for more years than I care to remember and as I have moved around the country I have been a member at Strathaven, Bathgate and Longniddry Golf Clubs before moving to Stonehaven in 2001," says Morag.
"I have been Treasurer of the Stonehaven Ladies Section for the last 7 years and served on the Stonehaven Golf Club Council for three years, holding the post of Social Convener for that period. "My background is Accounts and Payroll, having helped run a business of 10 retail stores while bringing up a family, after which I moved to the Accounts Department at Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh.
"It was here that I met my present husband, Douglas, at a business lunch where he asked all the right questions about my hole in one at Longniddry Golf Club the previous evening!
"Since moving to Stonehaven I have been employed with the Church of Scotland in care work and latterly as Accounts Administrator at Clashfarquhar House Residential Care Home.
"I am looking forward to my new challenge at Stonehaven Golf Club and hopefully another hole in one but not looking to change my husband as a result."
*Morag Duncan takes over from Willie Donald who has been a member of Stonehaven Golf Club since 1954. He helped out the club on the administration side from 1991 as a committee member and from March 1994 as club manager/secretary. Willie is currently president of the North-east District of the Scottish Golf Union.
