Bramhall Golf Club has always been a very popular venue for the Alliance’s Winter Series.
The latest one was unfortunately reduced to 15 holes due to course redevelopment but despite this it drew rave reviews from a full field offering compliments for the magnificent condition of the course enjoyed by all.
Bramhall course manager Ian Kirwan was also in the playing limelight on the day as he helped his partner Alistair Waddell (Chorlton GC assistant professional) (Picture 2) to top spot in the pro am section with 42 points from Josh Crumplin (Disley) and Chris Jackson (Tytherington) 41,
In joint third place were Alex Pritchard and Ray Fogg (Poulton Park) and Craig Corrigan and Andrew Bannister (Hindley Hall) with 38 .
Josh added more points to his leading OoM total as he finished as top individual pro with 38, from Alistair Waddell 37 and joint thirds Daniel Croft (Huyton and Prescot), and Callum Blinkhorn (Leigh).
Josh added another prize to his collection on the day winning the nearest the pin prize.
In the Am Am section Cheshire GA Life Members Competition organiser Jerry Dixon (Knutsford GC) enjoyed a day off from administrating his hugely popular competitions to help Charles Herbert (Alderley Edge) (picture 3) to a winning score of 39 from Paul Traynor (Saddleworth) and Richard Margrave (Stamford) 38 and Tom and Elliott Kirton (Prestbury 37.
