Owen snaps up Anniversary Trophy
22 members played at Northenden GC on a bright and sunny afternoon. We were competing for the Anniversary Trophy , donated for our 30th anniversary some 11 years ago.
John Owen obviously enjoyed the sun as his golf showed the way with a faboulous 39 stableford points to claim victory. On a high scoring day Jim Goldthorpe won 2nd spot on a CPO over Duncan Yellen with both carding 37 points.
The course is showing signs of a comeback after the horrific flooding in January this year, and the club looked after us all well, in fact some of th ebest food after the round in a while. Great choice.
Colm Buteux collects Rose Bowl at Lymm
One of our new members for 2025, Colm Buteux, won his first and second piece of TAGGS silverware at Lymm GC. We were playing for two trophies on the day, Rose Bowl and The Pairs Trophy.
Colm scored a very impressive 43 points on the day and stormed the rest of the field and duly collected the trophy off Steve Occleston and a handicap slashing off Rick Hudd. Mark Tyrer came in 2nd with a fine 38 points and Ira Washer 3rd with a par round of 36.
Colm was partnered with Andrew Courtney-Smith in the pairs trophy and they romped home to collect that particular trophy too off Steve. Great day at one of our more local courses, and with the recent good weather, the course looked magnificent.

Ian Milligan has fun in the sun...
Our 2nd day out for 2025 saw us compete for The Jubilee Trophy at Dunham Forest GC. Bathed in spring sunshine the course looked resplendent and we were well looked after by staff too.
On a day where the average score was 31 points, Ian Milligan came home in the last group with a majestic 41 points to pip the clubhouse leader, Steve Coulton. Ian collected the trophy and a reasonable hacking off our handicap secretary, Rick Hudd.
A great day out at one of the regions finest courses, well organised by our Captain Steve Occleston.
Occy wins Memory Cup
Our 2025 Captain, Steve Occleston, collected the first piece of silverware in 2025, The Memory Cup. 18 members played at Pike Fold GC, where we were well looked after and the course considering the time of year was in decent conditions.
Steve had an A1 consistent round of golf, 18 out followed by 18 in, to record a trophy winning 36 points. 2nd place was decided by a card play-off between Dan Dunn, ACS and new member Colm Buteaux. Dan won this and pipped the runner up spot. Great day and a great start to the season.
