Her great County "partner in crime" was the late Jean Brown of Erskine and both were seen on many occasions, before and after county medals and matches, playing the fruit machines and having much laughter and fun.
The highlight of Mae's golfing career was winning the Evening Times Scottish Ladies' Foursomes in 1967 with Aileen Wilson (Haggs Castle) and having a couple of Holes in One in later years.
Mae then moved to Elie with her husband Harry (died in 2011) and she played her golf at Elie Golf Club until she was 86 when her balance became very poor.
She was very sad about this as golf was her life and she said then " The spirit is willing but the body is just not able'
In July 2018 Mae suffered a slight stroke and this further knocked her confidence and in October her daughter Lynda Smith (Douglas Park) and son Guy moved her back to Glasgow to a home nearby Lynda in Bearsden.
She would have been 91 on the 14th March 2019.
We send Lynda and Guy and all the family our sincere condolences.
The funeral is at Dalnotter Crematorium on Friday 15th March at 11:30am -- Glasgow Herald Announcement
