2025 Rebecca's Run

The legacy of Dalhousie began in the late 1700s when Rebecca Ramsey left her home in Scotland, a land of stunning geography with its lochs, glens and highlands. Rebecca Ramsey was a sister to The Earl of Dalhousie and was raised in the Dalhousie Castle in Scotland, belonging to the Ramsey clan since 1280.

Rebecca married Alexander Giboney in the "new world" and traveled to the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area because of her relative Andrew Ramsey who was one of the first settlers to the district. Although there are historical traces of Native American encampments on the 1000+ acres of land now called "Dalhousie", the lasting settlers of this land were Alexander and Rebecca Giboney and their descendants. Their family received a Spanish Land Grant in 1798, signed by Louis Lorimier, Spain's trusted agent for the region. Thus, ownership of the land preceded the Louisiana Purchase arranged by President Jefferson with Napoleon in 1803.

Rebecca's Run Invitational started in 2008 in honor of Rebecca Ramsey and to pay tribute to ladies golf.
