A TEAM from Aberdeen recently clinched victory in the DF Communications Business Golf League, raising £520 for charity in the process.
Aberdeen Business Network (ABN) won the tournament, which was held at Trump International Golf Links, while also helping to raise funds for Cash for Kids - a charity that helps disadvantaged children and young people.
Stephen Burt and Duncan Leaper, who represented ABN claimed the top prize on the day in the Texas scramble format over the famous Balmedie course.
It was the 10th annual event to be held but the first in two years due to Covid-19.
Other companies to make it to the final were Intermoor, AJT Engineering, Stuart Thom Wealth, David Jack Associations, Bruhan IT, Bon Accord Kitchens, Fintech Recruitment Solutions, Trump International and North Star Shipping.
Alan Tait, Scottish golf professional and a former European Tour player, was the special guest on the day.
ABN won with a score of 64.15, ahead of Bruhan IT who finished on 65.45. Fintech Recruitment Solutions finished in third place with 68.45.
The nearest the pin competition winners were Duncan Leaper and Craig Mackenzie of Fintech.
Craig Forsyth, sales director at DF Communications, said: “This year's golf league was fantastic - it was great to be back. It was tremendous to see a host of local companies take part in what has been a fun-filled, competitive league. There’s no better way to network.
“Congratulations go to ABN, who played very well to secure the title. It was great to have Alan Tait join us on the big day. He has a wealth of knowledge, and we all enjoyed his talk. The venue – from the food to the course – was also simply outstanding."
A total of 30 teams from across the north-east played across a number of local courses between April and September. The DF Communications Business Golf League is played in a fourball format with five or six teams in each division at this stage.
