NW Golf Day report and photos

Date:

30 APRIL 2012

Rain and hail greeted golfers at the ICE NW Golf Day on 19 April at Ashton-in-Makerfield Golf Club in Lancashire.

After tee-off in fine conditions, golfers were faced with half an hour of the worst weather the event has seen in years.  At the height of the downpour one competitor observed that it would have been better sitting in a warm, dry car on the adjacent M6!  
 
The Birse 2 team of Andrew Leach, Dave Rimmer, John Addis and Steve Capstick took the team prize. Paul Reeves took the overall ICE/IHT and competition prize and was awarded the W H Schofield Trophy.
 
John Boyd took the ICE/ IHT individual prize, Steve Capstick the individual prize and Chris Tollitt had the longest drive.  Paul Reeves and Jonathan Meacher won the nearest the pin prizes.
 
Organiser Chris Davies said, "Despite the conditions, we enjoyed a good game of golf and look forward to the next fixture - the ICE Northern Regions Event at Penrith Golf club . Thanks go to our sponsors Hill Dickinson and Up and Under."
 
Chris is also pleased to confirm that the Penine Raider match against ICE Yorkshire Region will be held for the first time for several years in September.
