A 100th birthday party was given to Margaret Carroll last week by the Lake San Marcos South Course Ladies Golf Club, of which she has been a long-time member. A special gift was a large greeting card, hand-painted with watercolors by President Jean Holt, that all members signed. In addition, she was given a Lifetime Membership at the LSM Golf Course, including lunches.
Margaret was born in Keota, Iowa, one of eight children. She graduated from high school there, took up farming, then retired from that, and moved in 1936 to the west coast where she went to work for the telephone company in Los Angeles, then Santa Ana, and other locations. She retired from the telephone company at age 55, and with no children she was bored with nothing to do. Her husband suggested she take up golf, which she did and she's been golfing ever since - at least up until the last year or so when she injured her leg and she had to quit. She says she is looking forward to getting back into the sport soon.
She says she has dozens of nieces and nephews; with only one nephew close by. She takes care of her own home, keeps her garden, and has done some traveling. Don't think she's ever had a 'hole in one' in golf, but coming up on September 3, 2010, she will have two of them - the day she celebrates her 100th birthday! Happy Birthday, Margaret!
