6-7 September, Albury
Bruce Bennet won on his first visit to Aberdeen, beating John Henderson (holder) in the final.
ACCC held its annual AC Tournament for the Aberdeen Quaich on 6/7th September at Albury Community Sports Hub. Eight players entered: John Owen (-½), Stefan Colling (1), David Houston (3), John Henderson (4), Bill Strachan (7), Bruce Bennet (14), Dave McLaughlin (14) and Robert Bell (16). It was strange not to see Roger Staples playing, having supported the event since its inception, due to health problems. I wish him well for the future.
23 August 2025, Meadows
Meadows CC hosted the first Scottish D level GC tournament and what a lovely friendly day it was with all the matches played in great spirit. The tournament was particularly aimed at less experienced players of handicap 11+ and everyone played well with all the players taking at least one win. Now they know they can win games at a tournament we hope they will go from strength to strength next year! The winner Was Mike Minieka, the runner up Ann Dinnie and newbie Geoff Parsons was third (only been in the club 8 weeks!). Many thanks to George and team for the lawns, Willie and team for the super-straight white lines, to Alison for the cakes, to all who BYOB’d, to Kenny our Captain for helping out with hoops and presentation and to GE Awards for the lovely medals.
