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.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY WINNERS 2022 are:

County Champion and winner of the Mrs FK Smith Cup – Rachel Polson

Scratch Runner-up and winner of the EM Craddock Trophy – Sheena Wood

Losing scratch semi-finalists and winners of the Miss C Lyon Trophies – Lynne Tough and Lauren Whyte

Leading scratch qualifier and winner of the Members Cup – Rachel Polson

Handicap Champion and winner of the Fiona Hay Salver – Olive Robb

 

Congratulations to everyone who took part.

 Afternoon Ladies - 

I have just uploaded the Ballater Draw in the information section of the Ballater Open on the Fixtures page.

Excellent numbers for the opening County Open of the season.

If you would like a late entry please contact Gaynor Hall the Ballater Count Rep.

Happy golfing!

Fiona  

 Ladies. 

Just a reminder that the closing date for the County Championship is Friday 15th April. The Championship is being held at Fraserburgh Golf Club with the qualifying round on Friday 29th April and match play for both scratch and handicap qualifiers taking place on Saturday and Sunday. It only costs £10 to play.

This is an important event for the County and unfortunately entry numbers are disappointingly low this year. Could I please ask you to support this event? Please put in an entry and encourage your friends to enter too. 

Olive Robb

Captain 

 Update to County Competitions

Evening ladies, just a quick update from me today to say that we spoke with Scottish Golf this morning and hopefully any issues with people not being able to enter is now resolved. Please get in touch at alcga.comp.sec@gmail.com if you are still experiencing issues entering.

I have now created all of the County Opens for the season so you can go and enter them to your heart's content!

I have made one small change to the entry page - 

So everyone playing pays the Basic Entry of £4.00 but if you are not a member of the host club then you click to pay the Green Fees as well. 

So as you can see in this example as I am not a member of Ballater I have clicked the circle next to the Green Fees to turn it blue, and will pay £20.00 to play this open. 

If you do not have access to the Scottish Golf App then you need to email me at alcga.comp.sec@gmail.com and let me know which competitions you want to enter and I will enter them on your behalf.

Any questions either give me a shout or speak to your County Rep.

Thanks

Fiona Campbell

Competition Secretary
