|
|
|
|
Many congratulations
to all the ladies who participated in the Watt Duffus Inter Club
Trophy, held this year at Ballater Golf Club.
We were blessed with the most wonderful day of sunshine and
what a joy it was to see everyone in lovely summer golf gear
enjoying the beautiful weather.
There were several
excellent scores but one of our County Team players, Rachel Polson,
Peterculter Golf Club, produced the round of the day with a gross 72
to win the Kennaway Cup, Another
of our excellent young golfers Lauren Whyte, Aberdeen Ladies,
playing off a handicap of 8 won the Individual Handicap Trophy with
a gross 76 nett 68.

there was a tie for the handicap event with three clubs all on a
total of 223. They were
McDonald Ellon, Aberdeen Ladies 2 and Deeside 1.
After some extensive arithmetic which took us to the best
last six holes, McDonald Ellon came out the winners.
Well played to all three teams and many congratulations to
McDonald Ellon.

It is always lovely
to have a few canary coloured supporters but we appreciate that Tain
is not exactly round the corner.
However if any of you happen to find yourselves that far
north over the weekend it would be wonderful to see you.

Many congratulations
to Deeside County rep, Alison Graham, who produced the best score of
the day at the SLGA Regional Medal Final at Banchory on Monday 27th

blustery and showery day Alison returned a nett 68, four under the
CSS, to be the lead qualifier.
Very well played Alison and we wish you the best of luck in

Scottish Amateur Ladies’ Championship
|
|
Aberdeenshire was very well represented in the
Scottish Amateur Ladies` Championship held this year at Longniddry.
We had a total of 9 members in the field with Rachel Polson,
Carol Wilson and Tegan Seivwright all qualifying for the
Championship matchplay while Sheena Wood, Kimberley Beveridge, Linda
Urquhart and Jill Harrison qualified for the Clark Rosebowl. Sadly Carol and Tegan went out in the first round, Carol
losing to Hannah McCook, a quarter finalist and Tegan taking her
match down the 19th.
Rachel, just recently returned from college in Florida,
adapted very well to the colder climes and playing some wonderful
golf made it through to the semi-finals. With Linda, Sheena and Kimberley all making it to the
semi-finals of the Clark Rosebowl we were guaranteed at least one
Aberdeenshire member in the final and as it turned out we got two,
with Sheena and Kimberley winning through.
The final then became a rematch of the County Championship
semi-final. I did
wonder if this was going to be another marathon event but this time,
no extra holes were needed, with Kimberley beating Sheena 2 and 1.
Many congratulations Kimberley on winning yet another trophy
and well done to all the girls who played such great golf.

County Championship at Kemnay Golf Club
|
|
|
|
We have just had a
wonderful weekend at Kemnay golf course where this year`s County
Championship was held. The
course, as ever, was presented beautifully and was enjoyed by all
the participants. Kemnay
made us very welcome and I would like to thank the Captain, Ken
Manson, Ladies` Captain, Caroline Gordon, the Council and Kay Law,
Administrator, for all their support and assistance.
We were treated to
three days of excellent golf. After
Friday`s qualifying round Sammy Leslie of Aberdeen Ladies emerged as
the lead qualifier with a superb gross 73.
The matchplay rounds produced some very exciting games
several of which went the full distance and beyond.
The semi-final match between last year`s Champion, Sheena
Wood of Aberdeen Ladies and Kimberley Beveridge of Aboyne broke all
the records. Sheena
showed her amazing matchplay nerves of steel when, one down playing
the 18th, she sank her 8 foot putt for a two to
Kimberley`s three. So
off down the 19th. The
Kemnay members who were just about to tee off were extremely
gracious and gave up the tee to allow our girls to continue their
match. These same
gracious gentlemen were again just about to tee off when I appeared
with another plea. The
Handicap Final between Kemnay Ladies` Captain, Caroline Gordon and
Kemnay member Yvonne Moir was also tied after 18 so another match
was off down the 19th. Caroline and Yvonne continued to battle it out halving
holes until eventually Caroline prevailed at the 23rd
hole. Many
congratulations to Caroline, who becomes the third winner of the
County Handicap Championship. Meanwhile,
our intrepid semi-finalists had halved the 19th, 20th,
21st, 22nd , 23rd, 24th,
25th, until at the 26th hole Sheena
finally ran out the winner. I
have checked the archives and spoken to several people and we think
it is a record in the annals of ALCGA.
After such a thrilling contest Sheena then faced lead
qualifier Sammy who was the other finalist.
With a display of immaculate golf which included some
exceptional iron play Sammy became the 2013 County Champion beating
Sheena 6 and 4. Many,
many congratulations to Sammy, a very worthy winner and to Sheena, a
most gracious runner-up.
After a day of such
high drama I felt quite exhausted and emotionally drained and I
wasn`t even playing! Well
done to the girls who played so beautifully and with their usual
wonderful sportsmanship. Aberdeenshire
County is so lucky to have these talented and sporting golfers.

Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Scottish Ladies` Open
Tour
|

Many of the girls
involved in the Championship had little time to recover as they were
off the next day to sample the delights of playing at Trump
International in the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Scottish Ladies` Open
Tour. Our congratulations to two of our young up and coming
stars, Shannon
McWilliam of Aboyne and Tegan Seivwright of Deeside.
They each produced wonderful scores, going round this
exceptional golf course in 79.
Sheena Wood, our runner up in the County Championship showed
that she still had some energy reserves, coming in with an 82.
Very well done girls.

I
am by nature optimistic and try to be positive thinking so
as I once again find myself sitting in a golf club house
drinking coffee, looking out at ever larger puddles forming
in the middle of fairways, I am concentrating on the fact
that the daffodils are finally struggling into bloom in my
garden and the sky over Aboyne yesterday was bright blue
with little white fluffy clouds.
Next
week sees the start of the County season proper with our
first County Open at Ballater.
Always a very popular venue, I do hope all who have
entered have a great day and the cobwebs which have formed
on the odd set of clubs are finally swept away.
For
our County Training Squad the season has already started,
with three coaching sessions at Murcar Links Golf Club under
the knowledgeable eye of our County Coach, Gary Forbes.
The girls attended on three Sunday mornings –
Sunday 17th March (sleet, wind and freezing),
Sunday 31st March (cold, dry and with a gathering
wind) and Sunday 14th April (wet, very windy and
cold). This
year our squad was made up of the following players:

Sophie Alexander
Kimberley Beveridge
Zibby Brown

The
girls stuck to their task magnificently, practising under
the most trying conditions with hands, which at times, were
virtually frozen to their clubs. Our resident expert photographer, alias Super Secretary
Karen, was on hand and has produced the attached
photographs.
Virtually
all the coaching squad will be in action at this year`s
County Championship, held at Kemnay Golf Club from Friday 3rd
May to Sunday 5th May.
I am delighted to report that we again have a full
field of 40 entrants and am looking forward to another great
weekend. If any
of you who have not entered are free over that weekend it
would be lovely to see you at Kemnay, cheering on your
particular favourite.
In
the meantime enjoy our first County Opens, Ballater, 26th
April, and Aboyne, 2nd May, followed closely by
Banchory on 9th May and Fraserburgh, 11th
May.
All
good wishes for an enjoyable and successful golfing season.

A
rather belated Happy New Year to you all and a huge thank you to
all of you who turned out for our AGM in November.
Courtesy of Karen`s excellent photographic skills, I hope
you enjoy the images of last season`s prizewinners.
Since
the AGM, golf matters have not been very high on my agenda with
Christmas preparations, flooding and now snow preventing even the
hardiest of us from testing our skills in winter conditions.
However the days are getting longer and I`m sure Spring
will appear before we know it and with it, some great golf.
Karen is in the process of finalising the details of this
season`s fixtures but here is a sneak preview of some of the
events.
The County Championship at Kemnay GC on Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th and
Sunday 5th May
The Watt Duffus at Ballater GC on Monday 10th June
The North of Scotland Championships at Deeside GC on Monday 8th, Tuesday 9th
and Wednesday 10th July
The Lyon Foursomes at Murcar Links GC on Monday 5th and Tuesday 6th
August
The Commonwealth Spoons at Peterculter GC on Monday 12th August
In
addition I am delighted to announce that we are able to continue
with the `Fun Four Ball ` this year and am especially grateful to the
Captain and Council of Inverurie Golf Club who have granted us
courtesy of their course. The Fun Four Ball will be held at Inverurie GC on Friday 19th
July.
The County Jamboree is being held at Tain GC this year from Saturday 15th
to Monday 17th June.
The girls are always very pleased to see some yellow clad
supporters so if anyone would like to combine a short holiday with
supporting County Golf we would love to see you.
In
the meantime keep cosy and I look forward to seeing many of you
during the golfing season which I hope is a warm, sunny one.
I think we deserve it.
