Prestwich Golf Club showed off their refurbished clubhouse and superbly revamped course to great effect to a busy field of Teams of Four from across the region in the latest competition.
The players enjoyed great weather and the new course lay-out and none more than the fab four of Swinton Park GC professional Dave Smith and his club colleagues Jimmy O’Reilly, Alan Leigh and Matt Hughes (Marriott Worsley Park). (Pictured above)
They racked up a super haul of 88 points to finish six clear of Knutsford pro Tim Maxwell’s team of Simon Maxwell (Styal), John Tusselle (Knutsford) and Joe Kirwan (Bramhall) who won a cpo from Alliance Captain Gary Brown (Glossop) and his team of Luke Siddall, Ed Hartshome (Glossop) and Malc Siddall (Chapel).
The top individual pro was John Brown (Ellesmere), making his debut, with 36 points ahead of Andy Palmer (Chorley) 34 and Dave Smith and Matt Kay (Ashton-under-Lyne), both 33.
Dave Smith made it a good day for himself as he also won the nearest the pin prize.
