Glasgow Golf Club captain describes "absolute devastation" over fire

Over 70 firefighters worked through Thursday night to try to control a blaze that has ripped through the Georgian neoclassical building, - The Glasgow Golf Club Killermont in Bearsden destroying almost 75% of it. 

This is the Golf Club that the very first West of Scotland Ladies County match took place in 1909 between Renfrewshire and Argyllshire. -- See the RLCGA Website 

It has also held numerous D&A County events throughout the years.

 The alarm was first raised around 9.20pm on Thursday and, as of 11.30am on Friday, three small fires were still burning. 
 The fire started in the ground floor kitchen area of the clubhouse. 

 The Killermont course is closed until further notice, with efforts currently in place to establish a temporary base for the club at Gailes Links, the course it owns near Irvine, in Ayrshire.

It is with great sadness I tell you of the death of Joan Marshall. 

Joan was an Honorary Member of Midlothian County Ladies Golf Association and one of the County’s greatest supporters. 

 A member of Baberton for most of her life, Joan captained the County before going on to be President. 

As a player, selector and administrator, she was a force within Scottish Golf, making a tremendous contribution to our game. 
 I am sure many of you will have a connection with Joan and will want to know that the funeral will be on Saturday 22nd September at 11.00 at Mortonhall.
