The second Twa Bridges Open was held on Sunday 1st May with 66 players representing 24 Scottish golf clubs taking part. In a reversal of the 2021 competition proceedings started at Carrbridge and concluded at Abernethy, Nethy Bridge. Thank you to all who took part and especially to all those involved in organising and running the event. It was much enjoyed by all.
In the Gents competition, several clubs were represented with Logan Chisholm, Newtonmore, the overall winner, as well as being the best Junior. Gordon MacDonald, Kenmay, was second and Craig MCandlish, Rothes third. In the Ladies, Abernethy were well represented with Sheena Hendrie the overall winner with Jean Gordon and Rona Smith, both also Abernethy, taking 2nd and 3rd places.
The gents winner at Carrbridge was Mark Street, Carrbridge, and Abernethy winner was Peter Rawlinson, Kings Club. The Ladies winner at Carrbidge was Laurna Stobo, Aigas, and at Abernethy it was Shona Rankin, Carrbridge.
Many thanks to our sponsors of the longest drive and nearest the pin competitions, Cairngorm Gin. Mark Ferries and Sheena Hendrie (longest drive) and Charles Legge and Amanda Shepherd (nearest the pin) all took away a bottle of Cairngorm’s product!

Abernethy Ladies enjoyed a soup and scone lunch before the Pauline Trophy on Monday. There was a great turnout and members were incredibly generous in raising £100 for the Basma ‘Hour’ appeal aimed at providing funds to help Ukrainian refugees as they arrive in Strathspey. All agreed that it was good to see the clubhouse full again. We look forward to repeating this on competition days in the future.
Abernethy and Carrbridge Golf Clubs have joined forces again to host the second Twa Bridges Individual Open. Play 18 holes on two beautiful 9 hole Highland courses in one day.

Abernethy Golf Club members kicked off the 2022 season with a hearty toast to the club on raising the flag, followed by a match between the Club Captain Sheena Hendrie’s team, and the Ladies Convener’s Heather Bantick, team in a four ball better ball format.
In all 24 players took part and the result went down to the last match, after which the Captain’s team were declared the winners.
The flag was raised by Sheena and her Vice Captain, Steve Gannon.

Huge congratulations to Team GB in the mens curling at the Winter Olympics. Team GB (Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardy, Bobby Lammie, and Hammy McMillan) won GB’s first medal of the Games. They won the silver, having had a tough and tense game against the Swedish team. Both teams played well and it all went down to an extra end to decide the final outcome. Nerve-shredding stuff.
Skip Bruce Mouat is a previous member of Abernethy Golf Club and his father, Bob, is a current member. Well done Bruce and team, we’re proud of you.
