Stockport Golf Club, nr Manchester, once again hosted the Millennium Salver competition, and being near Manchester it rained of course!!

The first 3 ball teed off at noon, however by the time they reached the 9th the weather had eased and the later starters had the better of the conditions.


The winner of the competition was Tony Cooper (Erewash Valley) playing in the last 3 ball. He returned a score of 39 points winning from Peter Taylor (Bondhay) also 39 points over the last 6 holes. A close 3rd came from Phil Langham (Ormonde Fields) 39 points as well but with an inferior back nine.

Arnie Bennett (Cavendish) won the Seniors Prize and John Weselby (Matlock) received the prize for Best Veteran.

The Alan Marchington Millennium Salver was presented to the winner by the Society Captain for 2009 John Carr (Cavendish), congratulating Stockport Golf Club for the superb facilities afforded, and concluded by thanking the Officers of the Society for the arrangements and card marking assistance.
