As an assistant professional, Farquhar learned all of the skills that a club professional needed. She was the first woman golf professional in Britain to play in a normally all men national championship on her home course at Lossiemouth.[2] This was the Scottish Professional Championship of 1933 finishing ahead of many of her male colleagues. In recognition of her achievement, she was presented by the True Temper Corporation of America, with a set of the recently introduced steel shafted clubs.[3] Farquhar was reinstated to the amateur game in 1949 and reached the semi-final of the Scottish Ladies, played at Troon of that same year, losing to the eventual winner. She played in all of the Home International Championship in 1950 played in Newcastle, Co. Down winning all of her matches.[3] Again in 1951 she was selected for Scotland, and repeated her achievements of the previous year by winning all her matches. Inexplicably, the selectors did not ask her to play again for Scotland although she still continued to play to a very high standard.[3] She won the Moray championship nine times between 1949 and 1969 while winning the Northern Counties Championship on five occasions.[3] Notes1. ^Interview with Farquhar {{DEFAULTSORT:Farquhar, Meg}}2. ^1 McConachie, John: The Moray Golf Club at Lossiemouth, Elgin 1988, p87 3. ^1 2 3 McConachie, John: The Moray Golf Club at Lossiemouth, Elgin 1988, p89 4 : Scottish female golfers|People from Moray|1910 births|1988 deaths |
