Cruden Bay County Open Draw

Banchory 1 - Win the Lyon Foursomes !

Congratulations to Banchory 1,in winning the Lyon Foursomes (Inter-club Foursomes) at Deeside Golf Club  by beating Aberdeen Ladies by 1 hole in an exciting final yesterday afternoon. 

Both Semi -finals were good matches which saw Banchory Beat Ballater and Aberdeen Ladies beating Cullen Links,their first time competing in the Lyon Foursomes.

The course was presented in excellent condition and although the weather was very mixed for our 2 days at Deeside during the Mornings Semi Finals and the Final in the afternoon we had some very heavy rain but the course held out.

Banchory and Aberdeen Ladies both played very good golf in the final despite the conditions but Banchory just managed to keep their nose ahead and pip Aberdeen Ladies to the post by 1 hole.

It is 38 years since Banchory last won the Lyon Foursome so a great achievement indeed.

Banchory 1 therefore win the Lyon Foursomes Trophy and Aberdeen Ladies 1 are winners of the Godsman Quaich.

I must thank Deeside Golf club for hosting the event, their Green Keeping Staff for the excellent condition of the course and to their Bar and catering staff for being so accommodating.

Pictured below are the Winners, runners up and semi - finalists.

ALCGA JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP 28TH JUNE 2026

 The Junior Championship was held this year at Inverurie Golf Club.

The Girls thoroughly enjoyed playing at Inverurie,which was in super condition though the strong swirly wind certainly added to the challenge.The standard of golf was impressive as was their composure.

The Scratch Champion and winner of the Farquharson Quaich was Lily Macdonald (Aboyne) 85. 

We are all delighted for Lily, especially as it is the last year she will be eligible to play. What a great way to finish her time with us as one of our talented junior members.

The Scratch Runner Up was Lois Reid (Cruden Bay) 90

The Junior Handicap Champion and winner of the Styropack Salver was Beatrix Campbell
 (APCGA) Nett 67, playing off a handicap of 42.

This achievement was particularly special, as at the tender age of 9, Beatrix is the youngest ever winner and it was the first time she has played 18 holes !

The Handicap Runner Up was Brianne Mackay (Duff House Royal) Nett 73, playing off a handicap of 18.

Congratulations to all the girls who took part, Aberdeenshire are lucky to have so many young players who represent us so well, both on and off the course.

Our thanks go to Inverurie Golf Club for giving us courtesy of the course and for making us so welcome.       Ellie

 Firstly a big thank you to our Team for making our 2026 Jamboree at Nairn Dunbar a weekend to remember.  The Team are all a pleasure and honor to be around and I know they all gave 100% effort in all their games right to the very end. Saturday was a successful day beating Angus 6-3 but we knew that the next 2 days were going to be tough. Sunday we lost to P&K 9-0 and Monday we lost to Northern 6-3. Despite the scores on the board the golf was at the highest standard and the girls should be very proud of themselves. 

Congratulations to Northern who have won for the 4th year in succession going forward to represent us at Dunfermline Golf Club in August.

We look forward to seeing you all next year at Murrayshall Golf Club.

Their smiles really tell the story.

County Championship Murcar Links Golf Club 2026

 Murcar Links hosted the County Championship this past weekend . The club provided an exceptional setting, and we appreciated the warm welcome and professionalism shown throughout. 

The course was in outstanding condition, their dedication and attention to detail ensured a Championship worthy of the venue. Many thanks must go to the green keeping staff, admin staff and bar and catering staff for all their help and hard work.

I must give sincere thanks to Carol Wilson for refereeing the final of the Hay Salver and to the Ladies Club Captain - Shirley Copland for refereeing the Scratch Final in the afternoon.

Throughout the event a high standard of golf was displayed by all competitors in tricky,cold and windy  conditions but dry!

The winner of the best scratch qualifying score this year was Claire Prouse (Hazlehead) with a score of 78, beating Carol Wilson (Murcar Links) on the better inward half.

The handicap final was between Brianne Mackay from Duff House Royal and Suzanne Robertson (Fraserburgh). Brianne won the Hay Salver last year and successfully defended her title by beating Suzanne 4& 3. Brianne played excellent golf for her young age and shows great prospects for the future.

Congratulations to Brianne our Hay Salver (Handicap) winner.

In the Championship semi finals Kim Watt (Aberdeen Ladies) beat Sarah Ritchie (Portlethen) 3&2 and Rachel Polson (Peterculter) beat Fiona Campbell (McDonald Ellon) 6&5.

This set up a final between Kim and Rachel. Rachel went 4 up after 5 holes but Kim fought back with courage and determination,both displaying great golf and short game skills entertaining the gallery. 

Congratulations go to Rachel on winning her 4th County Champion title by 3&2.

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
