Many congratulations to Gillian Monteith for her superb course record round of 66 here at Dunskey last week. She broke her own course record by 2 shots! The Club is very proud of Gillian’s achievements and would like to wish her well for events throughout the season!

Gillian also took the South of Scotland Ladies Championship recently at Powfoot where she won by 5 clear shots.

Her season continues to go from strength to strength, however it was reported back that in her effort to help a recent playing partner retrieve a ball from a field, she got caught on a fence and had to be helped down!! If only we had the photo!!
