Friday June 5th 2026 - Bramhall Golf Club

June's meeting was at the BRAMHALL GOLF CLUB near Stockport, and we were fortunate in having a dry afternoon in the middle of this damp spell of weather.  In fact it turned out to be a lovely afternoon, which started with an excellent putting session from Andrew Murray (former tour player and BBC golf pundit) arranged by Secretary Chris Edwards. The session was excellently presented and provided tips and advice to improve our skills. And of course everyone put it into practice in the afternoon on the tricky but generally excellent greens.

The course was a pleasure to play, very attractive visually with lovely tree lined fairways, and a sprinkling of water hazards to catch the unaware.... ie many of us! 

The Results:

Winner of the June Trophy on a card play off:    Carl Cross 34 pts

                                                            2nd           Mike Stammers 34 pts

                                                            3rd            Michael Simonsen 32 pts

Mention should go to new member Rob McNulty who scored 35 pts but is ineligible for a prize until he has completed 3 rounds with the Society.

After the golf we enjoyed one of the best chicken dinners we have had anywhere, beautifully served by the staff at Bramhall in their lovely dining room. The tiramisu completed the dinner excellently.

John Wilson reported after the funeral of recently departed member Alan Dean, who died suddenly after a short illness. Alan was an excellent golfer, winning 2 trophies in 2025, and was a perfectionist in everything he tackled, which also included motor racing.  His passing was a shock to all of us and he will be much missed.
