17th-18th June 2026 – Seniors Trip to Shaw Hill

Another year, another brilliant two days weather! Sixteen of our seniors enjoyed a couple of days golfing and watching England play football on the annual trip to Shaw Hill. The course wasn’t easy and high scoring difficult, however there were many individual highlights.

David Parr enjoyed his two ‘2’s, one on the really tough second hole the highlight.  ‘Staffo’ sparkled with a ‘2’ on the 12th and a birdie on his opening hole on the final day, whilst Pat, with all players watching on the final hole, on the last day, came home with a ‘tap in’ birdie.

On Wednesday,  Graham Hadfield, Nigel Thorpe, Mike Howard, and Phil Pearson won with 81 points, and in second place with 76 points were Ian Harding, Neil Stafford, Alan Goodall, and Dave Rose.

The winning team on Thursday with 76 points were Keith Wright, Neil Stafford, Chris Hall, and Phil Pearson, and coming second with 73 points, Graham Hadfield, John Downes, Alan Goodall, and Clive Garside.

It’s the last time Clive Garside will be the organiser of the Shaw Hill trip, and everyone expressed their appreciation to him for all the work he’s put in over the years.

June 18th 2026 – A First for New Mills Ladies’ Section!

Lady President, Jo Coull, decided to organise something a little different for the Ladies’ Section this year…….. A Ladies’ Day at Ascot!

The ladies all supported her by finding their best clothes & hats & arrived at the clubhouse ready to place their bets! The big screen in the Robert Palmer Suite was the focus for the King’s Parade & four races. Peter Coull was an excellent, well-organised bookie who took the bets & paid out the winners.

After the races, Kirsty served a tasty afternoon tea & Brenda Grimshaw organised a couple of ‘party games’ to complete the fun of the afternoon.

Many thanks go to Jo for organising the event, Peter for supporting her, Brenda for the games and Kirsty & her staff for serving the afternoon tea.

17th June 2026 – Ladies Exchange With Ashton Ladies

On Wednesday 17th June, 12 ladies from New Mills Golf Club, ventured to Ashton Golf Club, braving heavy traffic & traffic jams on the way.  

The weather was kind & all enjoyed a 1,2,3 Waltz competition. Some of the holes were challenging, long Par 5’s & tricky Par 3’s but all  played well & there were some good scores.

Joyces Hadfield & Bennett & Jo Coull came second & the winners, with 77 points, were Ann Brown, Celia James & Jean Taylor. After the game, Ashton served a tasty two course meal. 

Thanks to Joyce Bennett for the organisation & Jo Coull for sorting the handicaps & cards.

2nd June 2026 – D&C vs Marple (Home)

The Millers entertained Marple, who were on the back of a great result away at Romiley. Debuts were given to Lewis Harding & Albert Hall.

On a typical windy night at Shaw Marsh, which seems to be the norm at the moment, the Millers kicked off with some early wins with Shaun Marchington 7&5 and Lewis Harding 3&2. Steven Worrall continued his 100% winning form & Darryl Hall battled for a half. Albert Hall narrowly lost, however the Millers seemed in complete control of this match 4 ½ to 1 ½ .

Paul Holland had to dig in deep, giving 3 shots away but got back to winning ways 2&1. Ben Williams returned with a win 4&3, after being 2 down after 2. The wins just kept coming with Chris Ashton 2&1, plus Chris Lees, Mark Brookes, Stuart Milner & Elliott Brownsword all maintaining their 100% records. A mention for Matt Gibbons who had stepped down over recent form & he came and captained the side whilst Darryl played instead.

A convincing win & performance 23pts to 3pts. This season is looking like away wins are going to be crucial for quarter-final qualification & the Millers have two tough away fixtures coming up. Romiley away on Tuesday 16th June & Marple away on the 23rd June.

Our Derbyshire & Cheshire League team have beaten Reddish Vale 6.5-5.5 at Cavendish Golf Club in the D&C final to retain the Trophy they won last year! The only other team to do the double was Shrigley Hall in the 80’s.

In the final, Baz Lawson led the Millers out and gained a half, Steve Worrall battled through for another half, then Tony Hall recorded the first win to make it all square. Another two losses and the Millers are behind, then James Ignotus pulled one back. Paul Holland romped in with a win! Another loss and the Millers were behind. Elliott Brownsword got it level with one match remaining. “Lucky Brooky” (Mark Brooks) was 2 down with 5 to play, but managed to level his match and then went one up with one hole to play. With nerves playing a big part on the night, he looked calm rolling in a 4ft putt for the match on the 18th green!!! So we won 6.5 to 5.5 – an amazing effort by all in involved!

Thanks to this years squad for making the club very proud. Elliott Brownsword, Chris Wood, James Ignotus, Sean Moore, Ben Williams, Steve Worrall, Stuart Milner, Barry Lawson, Mark Brooks, Jordon Worrall, Paul Holland, Tony Hall, Chris Ashton, Chris Lees, Gary Murray, Matt Gibbons, Gethin Evans and captain Darryl Hall.
