A grand day beckons

THERE will be new names on the GMWN Trophy roll of honour after this weekend’s grand finals day at Marple Golf Club.

Last year’s winners and victors from previous years have all fallen by the wayside in the qualifying rounds in 2007, although once more all have enjoyed taking part in a competition which grows in popularity year on year.

It is the eighth playing of the competition final and once more there has been a new record entry with nearly 100 ladies enjoying the match-play rounds looking to make the last eight pairs onto the first tee at Marple.

The men’s singles competition has proved equally popular and they are down to the last 20 players who will be looking to win the top prizes at Marple.

There were members from over 70 clubs involved in the competition and next year this will increase again as clubs from the Trafford area will be eligible to enter the fray.

For the men’s singles and ladies pairs there is the great prize of a superb golfing trip to South West Ireland on offer, courtesy of the competition’s main sponsor Peter Walsh of Fairway Holidays.

The runners-up will win a round for four at Mere Golf and Country Club and the third prize winners will receive vouchers from Made2Measure Golf equipment.

In addition there will be other prizes on offer on what will be another great day.

Thanks for great help and sponsorship go to Marple Golf Club, Styal Golf Club, Mere Golf and Country Club, Made2Measure Golf, Ryan PGT for supplying the winners’ trophies, and WGTB Golf for the organisation of the competition.

Last year Marple Golf Club hosted the GMWN final and it proved to be a big hit with players as the club concluded with a buffet and prize presentation.

Marple officials will be out in force to ensure that all players once more enjoy a day to remember.
