Touching tributes have been paid to a Stirling woman who went on to become a top official for the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association (SLGA) who has died.
The much-loved friend, godmother and cousin held careers in salmonid biology and in golf – culminating in her taking on the role of Chief Operating Officer of the SLGA.
Sheila oversaw the SLGA vote with a 93-per cent majority in favour of amalgamating with the SGU in the first vote cast on the subject, although with her departure in 2012, unfortunately she was no longer at the helm when the two organisations came together to form one single governing body for the sport in Scotland.
“She used to say that her job covered everything from dealing with government ministers to stuffing envelopes for the annual mailing – and everything in between. Her pet hate, though, was uniform and everything to do with it, whether for the board, the staff or the players!”
