Edith – also known to many of us as Auntie – became a
member of the Hermanus Golf Club in 1983.
She was a familiar figure in both the Hermanus League
and the Rooibos (now known as the Inter-Club) Tournament as well as being one
of the stalwarts of our Ladies Section.
Edith was a founder member in Nell Masson’s Thursday
Group which THIRTY YEARS later is still very active!
Auntie was also awarded Life Membership by Western
Province Seniors.
Edith has been Club Champion on five different golf
courses: She won at Humewood, Royal Durban, Durban Country
Club, Mount Edgecomb as well as all three Championship
Divisions in
Hermanus!!
Auntie was a single figure handicap playing off a 4. It doesn’t stop here – 8 holes in one.
Edith was a very strong and positive character who
simply never gave up on anything. It was only in May last year when Edith, at the age of
89 won the Charter Cup in Hermanus together with her partner
Pauline Metcalfe.
We will miss her – particularly her pointing that
little finger.
RIP Dear Edith, and may all your putts drop
on the golden greens of heaven.
