SCOTLAND WIN THE MARY MCKENNA TROPHY 2026

 Our Past County Captain Sheena ( Wood) has just captained Scotland (Scottish SeniorWomans Golf Association)  to the Victory of winning the Mary McKenna Trophy at  Royal Portrush Ireland this weekend. Yesterday the Teams were battered with hailstones and high winds during  their Foursomes, but Scotland was 3-1 up after their day.

Today they played their Single matches and Scotland eventually won 7.5 - 4.5 this was only their 3rd win in Ireland since the tournament started.

Congratulations Sheena and to your Team from ALCGA 🏆

PETERCULTER Vs ALCGA - FRIENDLY MATCH - SUNDAY 12TH APRIL

Yesterday 12 Ladies from our Winter Coaching Sessions were selected and invited to play a Match at Peterculter Golf Club against their Mens Pennant Team.

It was a dry but very windy day. Although losing 3.5 to 2.5 playing the Men on their Home course, the Ladies did exceptionally well in the conditions as a few had only played the course once before.

It was a very worthwhile exercise with both Teams enjoying their games. Thank you to Peterculter Golf Club for allowing us to play your course and for your friendliness on and off the golf course. 

Suzanne Robertson, Becky Flaherty, Iain Taylor & Scott Stewart                    ALCGA  Team

Sad News

We are very sad to report the death of one of our longstanding and well known county members, Pam Twinn. 

A girlhood golfer from an early age, Pam was a quality player and won many prestigious titles in her home county of Durham. When she arrived in Scotland in the mid 1970s she joined Aberdeen Ladies Golf Club and it wasn’t long before she was asked to represent Aberdeenshire County which she did with considerable success. In later years, Pam’s enthusiasm & knowledge of every aspect of golf made her a natural choice as a selector at both county and at Scottish level. Always a character, witty and determined but also kind and caring, Pam will be long remembered by many as a very special lady.

Pam's Funeral Service will take place on Monday 16th March at 1.30pm at Hazlehead Crematorium  ( East Chapel)
