Alford Golf Club

We were entertained last night by local talent Stuart Veitch.

Stuart played a mixture of his own original songs along with covers of hits by the Beatles, Snow Patrol, Proclaimers, Belinda Carlisle, Don MacLean, his version of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' and many more.

A great night was had by all who attended and we look forward to another evening soon.

We wish Stuart every success in his studies in Glasgow and his music career.

Carole West and her friends play our Ladies Greensomes Open in fancy dress every year for charity. This year they raised £335 for "Befriend a Child", helping children aged 5-16 not coping with life due to different reasons.
Well done ladies and delighted you enjoyed your day.

Small charm found in the car park today, if it’s yours let us know

Congratulations to the victorious Kemnay team, well played guys.

Massive congratulations to our young team who narrowly missed out in the defence of the GDL trophy they won last year.
They lost out 3-2 today in the final at Kintore against a strong Kemnay team.
The matches were played in great spirit and the team were a credit to the club.

Congratulations to Kemnay who played well and were deserved winners on the day.
