Winter Alliance at Hanging Heaton Results

Despite many clubs in the area being snow covered last Tuesday morning Hanging Heaton was clear for the 36 pairs competing in the first Alliance event of 2010.

With only three pairs in the Pro-Am the winners were the home pairing of Gareth Moore (scr) and Terry Link (15) with 40 points, winners on a close count back from Woodsome Hall’s Chris Hanson (scr) and Steve Tooby (7). Both pairs had four gross birdies and Chris scored on 17 holes.

The Am-Am winners were the Castlefields pairing of Nick Kelly (6) and Ryan Joyce (3) with 41 points. Runners on count back up were Mark Campbell (6) and Ben Adamson (2) of Crow Nest Park with 40 points from S.Hobson (9) and G.Broadbent (11) of the same club.

The course played it’s full length from the back tees with little run on the fairways and the greens were in excellent condition for mid February. Highlights of the winners round included Joyce driving the green on the 257 yard uphill first hole, spoiled by four putting, and eagling the 523 yard ninth with a driver, 3 iron and a chip-in. He also had a birdie on the 589 yard 18th although the bulk of the pair’s scoring was done by Kelly.

The next meeting is at Crosland Heath on Tuesday 2nd March. You can see all the remaining fixtures and up-to-date order of merit tables in our Alliance section.
