Vale keeps up the great recent record of MDGA

Sponsored by Paul Dalby of MTM

After enjoying some excellent weather and courses in top condition the Manchester Alliance again enjoyed an excellent day at the superb Reddish Vale Golf Club which has been drawing rave reviews for the quality of its historic Mackenzie course throughout the year.

There were again tight finishes in all three divisions with the top individual pros Josh Crumplin (Disley) and Richard Booth (Hale) both on 40 points, one more than OoM leader Jamie Howarth (Davenport).

Josh made his a double as he received excellent support from his partner Chris Jackson (Tytherington) to amass 45 points and top the pro am section ahead of Craig Daggitt and Gary McCoy (Bramall Park) 44 and Ben Thompson and Matt Foster (Werneth Low) and Jack Wiggans and fashion model Graham Moores (Chorley).

It was even hotter in the am am section with a cpo on 42 going in favour of Ian Fearns (Stamford) and Paul Ralph (Hazel Grove) from Nick Griffiths and Mike Peters (Disley) and Ashton-on-Mersey stars John Aikenhead and Gary Denman,

The nearest the pin prize was won by Sean Blinkhorn (Leigh).

Alliance President Ian Brooks gave deserving thanks to all of the players for their excellent golf and co-operation to his small team of organisers and all at Reddish Vale for their friendly welcome, help and service on the day.

"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.
