Having been excellent supporters of the Alliance for many years, Meltham pair Neil Paxman and Tony Baier proved very popular winners at last weeks Alliance meeting at West End.
In another high scoring and tight competition, Paxman and Baier (pictured below with West Professional David Rishworth) scored an excellent 43 points to claim top spot and end a 10 year drought since their last win.
Being one of the later pairs to complete their round they overtook long time clubhouse leaders Dave Rollinson and Frank Roby from home cub West End. Two other pairs matched Rollinson and Roby’s score of 42 points but it was their excellent 22 points on the back nine that grabbed them second place.
On an interesting note, every Alliance event has specific local rules relating to the course and conditions on the day but this is the first time that Alliance officials have had to have a rule in for balls lost through birds stealing them. In fact on the day some dozen golfers reported balls vanishing from the course!!
In the PRO-AM Bradley Hall professional Rob Booth and his partner Andy Hare (pictured below) claimed first position with an excellent 41 points that included four birdies. In second place, after a card play off, were David Astin from Woodsome Hall and his partner John Gumbley from Hebden Bridge with 39 points.
In what was a welcome return to West End after 10 years, the weather could not have been any better and with the course in excellent condition the day proved a huge success, highlighted by the fact that this was a record field for an event at this time of the year, for which the Alliance would like to give thanks.
James Washington, one of the Alliance's organisers commented, "The service and hospitality received at West End was excellent and many complimented the meal afterwards. The Alliance would also like to thank West End Golf Club, and in particular David Rishworth for his efforts in helping to organise the day and for conducting the presentation with Barry Isles so professionally."
The next event is at Meltham Golf Club on Tuesday 10th November.
