New Alliance record set at misty Whitefield

Sponsored by Simon Naylor (Print and Signage Solutions)

Whitefield Golf Club provided a super course and excellent support and hospitality which was reflected by some high scoring in all sections.
Alliance President Ian Brooks is sure that the combined scores for the Pro Am and Am sections on the day were the highest in the 100 year history of Manchester Alliance golf.

Phil Archer (Poulton Park) has been enjoying a great season in the PGA Legends Tour and other competitions and he kept this up with his regular partner Mark Pasquill (Leigh GC) as they set a hot early pace posting 49 points in the pro am section.
It was only threatened by the usual sting in the tail from Davenport’s Jamie Howarth and Paul Robinson with 48 two more than Harry Doyle (New Mills) and Kris Gittings (Romiley.

Jamie pipped Phil in the Individual pro section with 44, adding more points to his OoM tally, putting him one clear of Phil who had 43 alongside his Poulton Park colleague Alex Pritchard and in-form Josh Crumplin (Disley).

The new Alliance record of 49 points in top spot in both divisions was set by last year’s MDGA
Captain Don Milligan and his Ashton-on-Mersey colleague Mark Sellers in the am am section.
They finished six clear of Richard Margrave (Stamford) and Paul Traynor (Saddleworth) with Ian Fearns (Stamford) and Paul Ralph (Hazel Grove) next in after winning a cpo on 42.

The Nearest the pin winner was Cheadle pro Tom Clancy and Chorley’s Graham Moores was again a bobby dazzler in his stunning shirt.

Manchester and District Golf Alliance

"Friendship Through Golf"

Welcome to The Manchester & District Golf Alliance

The Manchester and District Golf Alliance is the largest of its kind in the country consisting of over a 100 golf clubs from the Manchester area.

It was formed in 1924, with two main aims. Firstly, to provide additional income throughout the winter months for Professional golfers, but primarily to forge 'Friendship Through Golf'. Our motto "Friendship Through Golf" forms the basis of everything that we do.

We are a non profit making organisation with all our revenue being returned to golfers as prizes. Whilst providing an income for professional golfers MDGA has expanded over the years to include amateur golfers and inter club knockout competitions. The Dunham Forest Trophy is our most prestigious event, however the competitions also include The City Glass Mens Foursomes, The Archie Preston Mixed Knockout, Seniors Team Knockout and The BMW Junior Team Knockout..

Any member of a golf club that is affiliated to the Manchester & District Golf Alliance is eligible to play in the weekly MDGA competitions which take place each Wednesday from September to December and February to May.

The Wednesday competition is in fact three competitions in one. There is an individual competition for the professionals as well as a pro/am and an am/am competition.

The events are held on a different course each week and are open to any member from the affiliated clubs. Check out the fixture list on the Winter Series tab to view the fixtures and also to book on-line. If preferred, bookings can also be made by contacting the Assistant Secretary at mdgajimcunliffe53@gmail.com.
