Derek Horsey Charity Competition 2013
19 hardy seniors took part in the Derek Horsey Charity competition on Tuesday 2nd April 2013. Despite it apparently being spring the players had to withstand a biting easterly wind and for those out first, even flurries of snow! Mike Howard with a net score of 68 was the winner of the competition with Steve Price just a shot behind in second place. Graham Elliott with 71 and Tom James with 72 completed the top spots. Mike and Steve go forward to represent the club in the knock out stages of the competition against winners of other clubs’ competitions throughout the North West. We wish them luck and hope they progress all the way to the final! |

Ladies invitation to SeniorsMonday 1st October 2012After the recent spell of heavy rain we were fortunate to have had such a nice morning for the Ladies invitation to Seniors.
Thirty one people took part in the event which was played as a Stableford off ¾ handicap over 13holes, in either teams of four with two men and two ladies in each team with the best score from the ladies pairing and the gents pairings to count or as teams of three with the best ladies and gents scores to count off full handicaps.
Winners were Jean and Rod Taylor along with Phil Smallman with an impressive 58 points, whilst the runners up were Lady Vice Captain, Mr. President, Margaret Palmer and Tom James.
A very enjoyable morning’s golf was rounded off with soup, sandwiches and chips provided by Liz and John.
Many thanks to Jean Taylor and Graham Hawkins for organising the event. |

THE GEORGE SCOTT TROPHYMonday, September 11th. The George Scott Trophy has been in existence for 15 years and is named after former Club President George Scott. George worked for many years as the foreman of the mechanics at the former Strines print works. The competition is an individual, Stableford competition played of full handicaps and is open to all Club members.
This year we enjoyed blue skies, sunshine and the course at its best - near perfect weather for good golf. So there was no excuse when only one player came in below "par"! Shot of the day was undeniably Clive Garside’s brilliant second shot on the par 4 3rd hole which produced a superb eagle.
Winner of the beautiful Caithness crystal trophy was Peter Christian with 38 points. Second was Mr President with 34 points whilst Alan Blakeman took third spot after a card playoff with Tom James with 32 points. |

Despite the atrocious summer the event was blessed with good weather with no rain and no wind which meant playing conditions were ideal. The competition was played as a Stableford event off 7/8 handicap.

Derek Horsey Charity Competition - 2012Report by Tom James Sadly Phil Smallman and Tom James were knocked out in of the second round of this competition on Monday 18th June. Playing away against Rochdale Golf club the pair knew it was always going to be tough playing on a course neither of them had played before.
The Rochdale pairing of Dean Brackenbury, playing off 9 and Nigel Donnelly playing off 23 meant that Phil and Tom received 5 and 6 shots resepctively but Nigel took full advantage of his 11 shots none more so than on the par 3, SI 11 where despite Phil parring hole a par from Nigel meant a half just when Phil thought he had won the hole!

Seniors League Match vs Shrigley Hall 8th May at Home Having won the first 4 matches of the season against Chapel, Disley,Glossop and Mellor, we followed up with 3 losses against Buxton, Reddish Vale, and Stamford. We were then faced with playing Shrigley Hall, arguably the best team in the League for several years past, and one we have never beaten in my memoryl However the whole team were really zoned in on this one and played extremely well. All 4 of the "League" games went to the 18th, but we actually won in the end by winning 3 and halving 1. We also won the overall match by 6 games to 1 and 1 half. Congratulations to every team member for an outstanding performance, and one that will live in my memory all season. Even the sun shone for us on the day. Phil Smallman |
