Many congratulations go to Maureen Rennie and husband Jim who won the Sheila Conacher Trophy yesterday at Douglas Park with an 81 net 65. They last won the the Trophy in 1977 and 1978. Maureen Rennie who is the West Vets Bronze Champion is pictured with Helen Robertson who won the putting competition with her husband Colin and also the long drive prize. Colin said her driving and putting were great --- pity about the rest !!!
Elinor Grant and son Graeme won the scratch prize with a gross 79
For those who can remember Sheila Conacher --- she was the Scottish University Champion in 1946,1947 and 1948 and also the Lanarkshire County Champion in 1948. Sadly Sheila died in 1952 at the early age of 24
Lady Captain Gladys Speedie gave a very nice tribute to Sheila in her presentation speech
