 Former Scotland international and winner on the Ladies European Tour, Julie Forbes from Aboyne has returned to the North-east of Scotland after 13 years in Ireland.
"I enjoyed my time as a golf teacher and coach in Ireland but I felt it was time to come home to my roots," said Julie.
She has joined the staff of brother Gary who is the club professional at Murcar Links Golf Club.
"Julie has already stood in for me as coach to the Aberdeenshire ladies golf squad when I was away playing in an indoor bowls tournament (Gary is international class at this sport), so she is available to coach, not only girls and women, but also males and not only with the Murcar Links club," said Gary.
"It's great to have her back. I've been telling her to come home for years."
Julie was Aberdeenshire women's country champion in 1989 and turned pro in the 1990s. She won a LET event in France but eventually settled down to a teaching career in Ireland, based at Drogheda.
