It is with great sadness I tell you of the death of Margaret Rodgers.
Margaret was an Honorary Member, Captain (1997-98) and President (2008-10) of Midlothian County Ladies Golf Association and one of the County’s greatest supporters. Many of you will know she was also the creator of Michaela, the much loved mascot of the County Squad.
Captain, and a member for most of her life, of Turnhouse, Margaret was a talented player, selector and administrator, and has made a huge contribution to Scottish golf over the years.
I am sure many of you will have a connection, and fond memories, of Margaret. She will be deeply missed.
The funeral is private.
She had also held various SLGA posts in the past, including chairman from 2005-07, and was made an honorary member of the MCLGA in recognition of her work.
In 2006 she led the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association and Scottish Golf Union joint working group to look after the best interests of the amateur game in Scotland. CLICK HERE

Six-time Midlothian champion Claire Hargan, who is now the Assistant Director - Rules at the R&A, also paid a warm tribute to Rodgers. “Margaret truly was a great ambassador for Scottish women’s golf and for women’s county golf,” said Hargan. “In the 10 or so years I was involved with Midlothian Ladies County she was always there supporting the team. She was great fun to be around but, behind the scenes, she clearly put in a power of work for the women’s game in Scotland.”
