Death of Past SLGA Secretary Mary Greig

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mary Greig, one time Secretary of the Scottish Ladies County Golf Association. Mary was the founder member of the Dumfriesshire County Ladies Golf Association, when they joined with Border Counties and Galloway to form the South Division of Scottish Ladies County Golf in 1972. She was Secretary of Dumfriesshire Ladies for 23 years and latterly took over the secretary-ship of Scottish Ladies County Golf before it was subsumed into the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association. Many Lanarkshire Team Members of the 1980's and 90's will remember Mary's great enthusiasm and sense of humour at County Finals. Failing eyesight caused her to retire for her administrative duties, but she still took a keen interest in Scottish Golf and would attend as many events as she could until her deteriorating health made travel impossible. Mary was a great character, always cheerful and well-loved by all who knew her.Mary's sister died some years ago and Mary is survived by her niece, Dorothy Hill.The funeral is at Maxwelltown West Church, Laurieknowe, Dumfries on Thursday 31st December at 11am. I understand that this church is on the same road out of Dumfries as the Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club, near the Buccleuch Bridge.
