Club Championships

The Club Championships 2023 were held over the weekend 8th & 9th July. As the players took the tee on both days they were briefed and then announced by Bill Forrester. He has been doing this for many years and it does make every player feel special. The first round of the Men’s Championship was played in windy conditions accompanied by heavy downpours and the scores reflected this with Sam Chapple the overnight leader shooting a creditable 77. The top 30 made the “cut” and found that the course continued to play tough on day two ending with Tony Biggerstaff and Barry Cole tied on a gross score of 159. The sudden death play-off took place over the 18th hole resulting in a one-shot win for Tony, thus becoming the Club Champion for the third consecutive time and fourth time overall, congratulations, Tony!

The men’s nett competition was won by Carl Ingram with an excellent five under par beating Phil Neville by three shots.
