COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
2022
For the first time in
three years, it has been lovely to have a “normal” County Championship without
the need for any restrictions. It was great to see the appearance of spectators
on the course and the re-emergence of caddies.
Firstly, I must thank
Fraserburgh Golf Club for so generously granting us use of their course for the
three days of our Championship. The County is indeed fortunate to benefit from such
support. The course was in terrific condition and offered a suitable challenge for
the Championship. We were made most welcome in the clubhouse and were well looked
after by all the staff. They even managed to organise good weather for us and I
was most impressed (and relieved) to find that they had managed to direct the
worst of the surrounding fog away from the course on our final day. Thank you
Fraserburgh Golf Club!
I would also like to
thank everyone who entered the Championship and offer my congratulations to
everyone who won through to the match play stages of both the scratch and
handicap competitions.
The semi-finals of
the handicap competition were contested by myself (Murcar Links) v June Cowie
(Cruden Bay) and Lindsey McNiven (Aberdeen Ladies) v Avril Willox (Murcar
Links). In a closely matched final between myself and Lindsey I managed to win
3&1.
Rachel Polson (Murcar
Links) v Lynne Tough (Kemnay) and Sheena Wood (Aberdeen Ladies) v Lauren Whyte
(Aberdeen Ladies) contested the Championship semi-finals. The final was between
Rachel and Sheena with Rachel winning 4&3 to become our Champion and
retaining her title form last year. Many congratulations Rachel.
