Ethel's First Engagement in a Busy Schedule

Ethel Jack, East Vets lady of note and President of the SLGA, very kindly stopped off on the way to the St Rule in St Andrews - where she has official engagements - to assist in the Grand Opening of the New Swanston Golf Course early today. This surely must have been one of the most glorious mornings this year. In high temperatures (despite the hour), a cloudless blue sky and no wind, she stubbornly refused to dispense with her purple blazer although all about had suitably divested of unwanted garments. Following on from the speeches of other Grand Opening officials, Ethel congratulated Swanston Golf Course on their success and also on their efforts to further promote ladies' and junior girls' golf. She then proceeded to assist David McLetchie MSP, in the unveiling of the plaque.

The daylong celebrations continued with a celebrity demonstration of how properly to play the wonderful game with Lynne Kenney representing the ladies. Ethel meanwhile headed north on a busy week of engagements.

A small slideshow of Ethel unveiling the plaque will follow together with a piece of blatant advertising for Swanston, but meanwhile the webmaster is heading for a slice of the sun.
