The Final event in the Stuburt Winter Order of Merit took place at the lovely Knutsford Golf Club yesterday. Mark Dingle and his team managed to get the course in great condition despite torrential rain yesterday. Thanks also to new stewards Ceri and Rhiannan who looked after us so well throughout the day.

There was some great golf played at this nine hole gem.

Barry Jacksons team turned up two hours early to warm up properly. Do you want a Theakstons or a Guinness? He asked his dedicated team as they got their third pint in each before play.

Dave Wainwright loves playing at Knutsford and he loves the close proximity to the idyllic Tatton Park. In fact he enjoys it so much he actually decided to visit it three times in his first two holes.

Richard Woan is also a ‘fully paid up member of the Bad Slicers Club’ but he managed to stay out of Tatton Park today on his way to 4th spot with 37 points pipping Dr Munro Donald on the back nine.

Paul Dalby and Phil Maher took 2nd and 3rd spot respectively with 38 points each.

First prize went to New Mills Steve Worrall who picked up 42 points playing off an eight handicap. Steve used to be Cheshire’s wicker keeoer and he had very safe hands as he coolly rolled in yet another excellent par at the tough final hole.

Ex- Fireman Phil Mahers high finish was good enough to win the Stuburt Winter Order of Merit ahead of talented regular Barney Ross (Endurance top). Phil wins a pair of fantastic Stuburt Endurance shoes.

Congratulations Phil you have played great golf this Winter and are a lovely man at the same time!

Thanks to Steve Grant at Stuburt for his terrific Sponsorship. Gareth Bradley and Paul Dalby shared 3rd place and both receive a lovely Stuburt Endurance top . Full Order of Merit Results will be sent out this weekend.

Thanks to all whom played today. I hope you enjoyed my wonderful Club.
