17th September 2026 – New Format For Winter League! 

The Winter League sign-up sheet is now up in the locker room.

After having split opinions over the different formats we’ve trialled over the last couple of years, Sam has come up with a format that we hope gives everyone a chance to get involved in a way that suits them.

1. Matchplay Winter League
Every other Sunday, we will run a traditional Matchplay Winter League, with a fixture list provided at the start of the competition.

2.Singles Stableford – Order of Merit
On the alternate Sundays, we will run a Singles Stableford competition over 13/14 holes. This will also form an Order of Merit throughout the winter, with your best 5 scores counting towards your overall total. At the end of the winter, the top 20 players in the Order of Merit will qualify for a Finals Day.

You can play in both formats or just one — the choice is entirely yours.

[Full details of this year’s Winter League format and rules can be found under Members->Competitions->Winter League or by clicking here.]

3rd August 2026 – Seniors Marcliffe Cup

40 players took part in the second of this year’s Seniors “board competitions”, the Marcliffe Cup, on a warm, sunny and breezy morning. Many congratulations to the winner, Colin Skeen, with a score of 37 points.  The players in 2nd, 3rd and 4th places also scored 37 points(!!), the placing being decided by a card playoff. John Samme was in 2nd place, Jeff Stewart was in 3rd place and last year’s winner Clive Garside was in 4th place.

Well done to all the prize winners!

We were all extremely sad to learn of the recent passing of Cliff Ardern, who founded this very popular competition many years ago in memory of his first wife, Marjorie. Most years, Cliff came up to the clubhouse to do the “rocket start” for the shotgun and then presented the trophy and other prizes after the event. We held a minutes applause in Cliff’s memory. We fully intend to keep running this competition in Cliff’s memory in future years.

Further information and photographs can be found on the Seniors section of the website.

In 3rd place was Mike Richardson on 138, who beat J Marshall (4th) and Nick Standring (5th) on a card playoff. The best gross prize was won by Elliot Brownsword with a total of 141.

14th July 2026 – D&C vs Chapel Away

The Millers last D&C match this year was away at Chapel,  the Millers going there knowing they needed 5 wins to guarantee making it to the quarter-finals. If Chapel limited New Mills to less than 4 wins they could mathematically qualify, so a tense affair. Unfortunately the Millers could only get the 4 wins out of the 12 matches  leaving them one win away from qualifying, which wasn’t down to the Chapel match. The Millers know the 2 points could have been picked up in any of the previous matches.

Well done to Steve Worrall, Paul Taylor, Elliott Brownsword & Lewis Harding for winning on the night. We couldn’t get the treble this year but we have matched the only other team that has achieved a double that was Shrigley Hall in the 80s. All the players enjoyed the new format of home & away and we go again next year.

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.

18th June 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.

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.
