Lily Rainey

Lily Rainey

Members and friends of the club will be saddened to hear of the peaceful passing of Lily Rainey on 22nd August, with husband Stan in close attendance. Lily’s health had not been good for some time and she spent most of the current year in hospital, an experience exacerbated for her and the family by the restrictive impact of the lockdown. More recently however the family was comforted by being able to see her under more relaxed provisions of palliative care. Lily was a social member of the club and was a regular and enthusiastic attender at the clubhouse for functions or simply lunch with Stan. She will be sadly missed and our condolences go to Stan, Jennifer, Kieran and Finlay at this sad time.

Liz McConnell

The club is sad to announce the passing of Liz McConnell on 4th August.  Comforted by husband Scott and other family members by Liz passed peacefully at home in Strathaven after a short illness.  Along with Scott, who captained the club on two occasions, Liz was an enthusiastic and active supporter of the club. That support was always appreciated but especially so at times when the club was much in need. She will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with Scott and the family at this sad and difficult time

The ever popular Fun Texas Scramble is back! Get your teams organised for 15 holes of golfing fun followed by a burger and some beers at the clubhouse, hopefully outside in the sunshine but if not indoors in the bar. Either way we’ll be maintaining social distancing so it’s a safe environment for all. Don’t miss it. It’s always a fun day.

This year’s Captain’s Prize will be a Stableford played from the yellow tees. Although we are not holding draws for partners at the moment, for the Captain’s Prize the tee has been reserved from 10am to 11am to facilitate a prize giving in or outside the clubhouse early in the afternoon. Any member needing to join a game should be able to do so if they are at the course by 10am.
