The Committee recently received a letter from Mr Ralph Duff whose daughter Megan is a member of the West Girls. We would like to thank Mr Duff for his comments and share some of his words -
"Could I take this opportunity to highlight what fantastic value the £15 membership for WOS girls is. To date this year my daughter has played and thoroughly enjoyed golfing in WOS events at Kilmarnock Barassie, Troon Portland and East Renfrewshire golf clubs. If I was to pay to play these courses as a visitor, I think the combined green fees would cost in the region of £150 to £200."
