  Happy New Year to all of our Lady and Junior Girl members, and a very warm welcome to those who have joined the County in 2021.   I, and I am sure all of us, had hoped by this time that we would be free of the Covid restrictions!   Alas that is not the case and we are now in the midst of a further period of lockdown. The positive is that we can still get outside and play golf even if it is just in two’s, and the Covid vaccine is on the horizon, which is great news!   Looking forward, Vice Captain Ann, the Committee and I, will do what we can to continue with the schedule of golf that we have in place for 2021. Obviously this will be dependent on Scottish Golf and the restrictions in place at the time of each competition. As always the safety of our members must be our priority.   As you will have seen, we have a good range of courses for you to play this year, so fingers crossed and with my optimistic hat on I look forward to seeing you for our fir...

Captain Joanne, Vice Captain Ann and all the committee hope that all our members had a lovely Christmas and would like to offer our very best wishes for a healthy, safe and better golfing season in 2021
