Success for Aberdeenshire at the North of Scotland Championship Kinross Golf Club 2025

 

Lily and Lorna

Congratulations to Lily Macdonald, one of our talented juniors from Aboyne who had a great run in the North of Scotland Scratch Championship. In the final Lily was narrowly beaten 2 & 1 by Katy Alexander from Blairgowrie, who plays off a handicap of +2.5. On the way she beat leading qualifier Lucy Moran, a scratch player from Milnathort.

Congratulations also go to ALCGA Past Captain Lorna Johnston, from Meldrum House on becoming North of Scotland Handicap Champion beating Lisbeth Husband from Carnoustie by 2 holes. Lorna surely has nerves of steel as all her matches were close, including a 2 hole victory over Anne Munro from Kemnay.

In the Girls’  Championship, well done to Holly Mckenzie, from Murcar Links who won The  Handicap Trophy with a 77 (2) nett 75.

Great results for Aberdeenshire County and well done to all who took part.

Thanks go to Perth and Kinross County Ladies for running a successful tournament.
