WELCOME TO THE MEN’S SECTION
The Men’s Section is a very well supported and key feature of our club. Throughout the year there are a variety of opportunities to play golf in a friendly but competitive atmosphere.
During the summer there is a full programme of competitions designed to test players abilities, all of which count as handicap qualifiers. There are competitions each Saturday and Sunday. They include Medals and Stablefords with a variety of different formats. There are also midweek Medal and Stableford competitions, usually on a Wednesday. The above competitions also include the Ladies section.
Prestigious Men’s “board competitions” include the Hibbert Cup, Bramhall Trophy, Anderton Bowl, Shaw Marsh Trophy, Rigby Trophy, Club Trophy, Bosworth Trophy and Captain’s Day. There are also singles and doubles knockout “board competions” played throughout the summer.
During the winter there are weekly Saturday competitions, plus a thriving Winter League on Sundays, so that golf can be enjoyed all year round.
Whatever your ability, you can rest assured that you will be given a very warm welcome and have the opportunity to play with many different members of the club. We do hope you will join us.

20th October 2024 – New Mills Taskers Team Make It A Clean Sweep!
On Sunday 20th October the New Mills Taskers team played in the national final in Nottingham. This fixture was re-arranged from last month due to bad weather and it wasn’t much better on the day!
The team took on Denton at Beeston Hall Golf Club. With the pressure of the D&C team winning the league and the juniors winning their Golf sixes league, the Taskers guys needed a win to make it arguably one of the most successful years for the club.
Captain Chris Marshall picked out a strong team, i.e. Steve Yates, Graham Ardern, Mark Brooks, Phil Ardern, Nigel Garside, Gav Shields and Paul Holland.
The team won 5.5-1.5 for a convincing win and another fantastic achievement for the club. Many thanks to all the other players who were involved during the season to get the team to where they were.
The Taskers Trophy is an event for “over 50s” men, which supports junior development. As a reward the club will receive a donation to put towards the junior section.

The “Millers” first D&C League final for more than 35 years – on another miserable afternoon for golf and on a difficult Disley track. The Millers set off against firm favourites Tytherington with unbelievable support from Sam, Kirsty & Steve, the Management Committee and members.
The final score in the individual singles matches was 6-6, thus requiring a sudden death playoff involving the lowest handicap player from both teams. The Millers Jack Sidebottom, off 2 handicap, birdied the first playoff hole to give the Millers the win!!
A dramatic end to an incredible season for this newly formed, young but talented Millers D&C team, i.e. Jack Sidebottom, Elliott Brownsword, Ben Williams, James Ignotus, Steve Worrall, Barry Lawson, Sean Moore, Jason Warhurst , Paul Holland, Oli De Rosenwerth, Tony Hall and Mark Brooks, plus team captain Darryl Hall.
A remarkable achievement to all involved. Commiserations to a talented Tytherington team, but this was the Millers year!!

Captain’s Weekend Away at Carden Park April 22nd -24th 2022
Last weekend the 2022 Captain’s weekend, hosted at Carden Park near Chester, was a HUGE success. 60 members headed over to play three games with a two night stay. This time due to Covid it was hosted by Steve Yates and Mike Bennett.
On Friday we played a betterball stableford which was won by Russ Pearson and Mark Brooks with 45 points, and on Friday evening we had a lovely meal followed by far too many drinks and a night out in Chester.
Saturday saw a few sore heads and missed tee times, however Paul Coverley, Baz Lawson and Scott Mccaskie managed to triumph as a three ball while 4th player Paul Taylor failed to get out of bed after a heavy night in Chester.
On Saturday evening we had the famous Captain’s dinner followed by the prize presentation. Darryl Hall and Jason Warhurst were crowned Winter League winners followed by one of the best speeches I’ve heard. Fair play Darryl.
On Sunday we played a Texas Scramble won by myself, Scott McCaskie, Kirky and Olly France.
Overall it was a huge success.
