The Elise Duncan Trophy Handicap 0-9
Elise Duncan was the West Vets captain in 1995/96. She was a member of Eastwood GC and in 1991 she presented the Elise Duncan Trophy to be competed for annually between the scratch team of the East and West Vets. It is fiercely competitive match with each team vying for the bragging rights. The format is scratch singles with a team of 9 players from each division. The team is selected in handicap order with the lowest players going out first. The venue alternates yearly between courses in the east and west.
It is generally coffee/tea, breakfast rolls before the start and a meal afterwards followed by short speeches and the presentation of the trophy to the victorious team.
This match is usually organised by the Captain.
This trophy replaced the Lady McInnes Shaw Salver and perhaps fittingly the west won the trophy in its inception year.

This trophy was presented by Heather Anderson of Caldwell GC and Troon Ladies sometime around the mid 1960’s. At this time Heather was a Scottish Internationalist and played many matches in Ireland and became good friends with the Craddock Family. The Craddock Family were very well known in golfing circles at this time. Tom Craddock was a golf designer and is associated with many courses in Ireland including Killen Castle and Druid’s Glen. He also played 67 times for Ireland. Heather became friends with his sister May Craddock. Unfortunately this trophy has not lasted the test of time and was retired in 2022. The name May Craddock is now incorporated in our new Autumn Salver.
