Kylie Walker
Ladies Night at Paisley Golf Club -- Thursday 24th March 7pm

With the golf season just around the corner, we have a fun filled evening to kick start your season. The evening is for Ladies who already play or who are thinking of taking up the game.

We will be joined on the evening by Ladies European Tour Player - Kylie Walker, who will give us an insight into life on tour and what it takes to be a winner on Tour.

Mishan Aubeeluck who is a Performance Enhancement Specialist Personal Trainer will be educating us on golf specific exercises. Mishan is also a Pilates instructor which is very relevant to golf with flexibility being a key attribute to the golf swing.

If you are looking to upgrade your equipment or wardrobe this season we will have Glenmuir, Under Armour & Ivanhoe latest clothing samples along with Ping and Callaway demo clubs to try.

Clare-Marie Macaulay will be giving coaching tips on the night on how you can lower your scores this season. Everyone who attends the night will also be out into a prize draw to win a lesson with Clare-Marie.

Why not bring your friends along and enjoy a ladies night out, pick up some golf tips and have a look at the latest clothing available for 2016.

The cost of the evening is £3 per person, which includes a drink and light refreshment.

It is with great sadness I have to announce that West Vets'  Sally Coster died yesterday at home on Monday 9th February 2016. 

Sally played off a handicap of 4 in her early golfing years and was selected to play for the Scottish Vets Team at that time

A Past Captain of D&A and Past President of SVLGA had been a member of many clubs --St Andrews (St Rule), Crail, Hilton Park, Buchanan Castle  and Troon Ladies

Sally was President of the Scottish Vets Team when West Vets' Past Captain Helen Faulds was Captain of the Scottish Vets Team

Helen says -

"She was a huge help to me in many ways" .
"She was extremely knowledgeable about golfing matters, very observant at watching players and able to see faults in their swing. (I know that because she did it with me  !!)
"The players in the team were very happy to take her advice which was always given in a quiet measured manner. This ability was put to good use as she was asked to become a selector for the Scottish Teams which she really enjoyed."
"Sally had a very dry sense of humour and was extremely popular with our players, the Irish and the English players and the Presidents of all other divisions."

Sally will be most certainly missed by all.

The funeral will take place  at Maryhill CrematoriumG23 5AAGlasgow at 3pm, Thursday 18th February.
