WEST VETS PAST CAPTAIN ELISE DUNCAN

It is with sadness that I report the death on 19th January, 2013 of one of our Past Captains, Mrs. Elise Duncan.
Elise had been a long time member of the West Vets and was Captain in 1995 and 1996.

In 1991, Elise gifted a beautiful silver salver, namely The Elise Duncan Trophy, which to this day is contested between the East Division and West Division's low handicap players. This trophy replaced the Lady McInnes Shaw Shield. Perhaps, fittingly, the West Division won the Elise Duncan Trophy in its inception year.

Her funeral took place today - Tuesday, 29th January at Linn Crematorium.

 Elise will be fondly remembered by many past and present members of the West Vets.
