North East Alliance - Cruden Bay Golf Club 22/01/2025
North East AllianceCruden Bay Golf ClubA tricky welcome for the early starters today at Cruden Bay. Hard overnight frost meant the shorter winter course was in play. Something more like ice hockey rather than golf for the first few groups as it was borderline impossible to control the ball when it landed.The greens however had decent surfaces but were also very tricky on some difficult slopes.Professional Philip McLean (Peterhead Golf Club) came out on top today with a strong finish to shoot a very solid round of 65(-2). Philip had 4 birdies at 4, 16, 17, 18 and dropped at 3 & 5.Philip won by one shot from the in-form amateur player John Borthwick Marshall Leisure - Craibstone Golf with a very good 66(-1).The players and committee would like extend thanks to Cruden Bay Golf Club and the staff for hosting today and providing excellent catering and hospitalityNext week the Alliance will visit Fraserburgh Golf Club

NE Alliance - Newmacher Swailend Golf Course / Wednesday 13th November 2025
Perfect golfing conditions again today at Newmachar Golf Club’s Swailend course. Nice temperatures and no wind made it a birdie fest among today’s leaders.For the third week in a row professional Liam Waldron (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) wins the alliance - this time with a sublime round of 64(-8). Liam reduced the course to nothing more than a pitch & putt with some massive drives of well over 300 yards and also a brilliant touch around the greens.With 9 birdies at 1,6,8,9,11,12,13,15 & 17 and his only drop coming at 2 it was good enough to win by only one shot from playing partner professional Philip McLean (Peterhead Golf Club) on an equally impressive round of 65(-7). Philip made a charge at Liam on the back 9 coming home in 30(-6) with a brilliant display of golf but it was not to be after just missing his birdie attempt on 18 to tie Liam.The Swailend course was in fantastic condition for the time of year with optional matts and preferred lies in operation.Next week the alliance will visit Peterhead Golf Club

North East Alliance - Aboyne Golf Club 23/10/2024
A perfect autumnal day for golf at Aboyne Golf Club today. A decent test for the players off the back tees with some tough and tricky holes but also a few birdies to be had as well.One for the amateurs today with John Borthwick (Craibstone Golf Club) winning with a nice round of 69(+1). John had birdies at the Par 5 7th & 10th holes and also at the Par 4 17th - with drops at 5&6 and also an unfortunate double bogey 5 at the 235 yard Par 3 18th hole he has still managed to stretch his lead at the top of the OoM.John won by one shot from one of the senior members - Iain Middleton (Royal Aberdeen Golf Club) playing off 2 handicap and shooting a very good round of 70(+2).Spare a thought for the leading professional today - Kevin Duncan (Deeside Golf Club) shot a 71 despite 6 penalty shots and a memorable 18th hole where his tee shot carried into the open door of the clubhouse kitchen and ricocheted off the fridge back out the door finishing 20 yards short of the green whereupon Kevin chipped to 20ft and rolled in the putt for an easy ParNext week the Alliance will visit Portlethen Golf Club
