Midlothian AGM

Prize winners after the Midlothian AGM

Midlothian County Ladies Golf Association held their 90th AGM at Liberton tonight.
Captain Tracy Laughland gave a report of the year which started with a bang with the Centenary lunch at the Roxburghe Hotel and continued with a very successful and enjoyable Centenary Tri-am at Duddingston.
The County team won the East Division Inter-County matches and went to the County Finals at Baberton with high hopes of bringing home the County Challenge Shield,  but were just pipped at the end by Northern Counties on count back of games won.
The audience heard that several members of the County had done well at outside events, including Rachel Watton and Jane Turner who had gained Scottish representative honours at Junior and Ladies level.  Fiona De Vries, Fiona Hunter and Noreen Fenton were members of the winning Senior Home International team at Newport.  Fiona de Vries, Pam Williamson and Claire Hargan had captained the Scottish European Ladies team, Scottish Senior team and Scottish Under 16 teams respectively.  Janet Wake, Karen Marshall and Claire Hargan had also acted as Scottish team managers during the summer.
At the end of the season Claire MacDonald won the East of Scotland Championship at Mortonhall.
The prizegiving followed the AGM,  and although Claire Hargan won the Championship for the sixth time, and should really be featured with a photograph, the person who hardly ever sat down was Louise Fraser from Kingsknowe (pictured right) who won the Scratch award at the three major meetings (Spring Summer and Autumn) as well as the Champion of Champions and net and scratch aggregate trophies.  [Well done Louise!... sorry Claire!]
