CAROL STEWART DIES PEACEFULLY
AT HOME IN BANFF
Former Murcar Golf Club ladies’ captain and 14 times ladies' club champion, Carol Stewart has died in Banff at the age of 56.
She had fought a long and brave fight against cancer before succumbing peacefully at the home she shared with her partner, former Fraserburgh and Duff House Royal club professional Bob Strachan.
HONORARY MEMBER AT TWO CLUBS
Carol was an honorary member at both Murcar and Duff House Royal.
Her dominance of the Murcar women’s club championship spanned 18 years from 1967 to 1985. She was only 16 when she won it for the first time in 1967. Then followed nine straight title wins from 1970 to 1978 inclusive.
Carol’s success continued into the 1980s when she was club champion in 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1985 before she moved to Banff to live.
She was capped for Scotland in the Under-18 girls’ home internationals in 1966, 1967 and 1968 and played regularly for the Aberdeenshire team for a number of years.
Carol won the Aberdeenshire county title in 1976 and 1981. She was ladies’ captain of Murcar Golf Club from 1982 to 1984.
GREATLY MISSED
"Carol was a highly-respected and skilled golfer who will be greatly missed by all who knew her, both on and off the golf course,” said Aberdeenshire Ladies County Golf Association captain Ros Dunsmuir.
The funeral service will be held at Moray Crematorium on Thursday at 11am.
