Dempsey & Newey win at Todmorden

Todmorden Golf Club presented the course in excellent condition for the latest HHDGA Winter Alliance meeting and the contestants welcomed the fast greens. The weather was more like June than April with warm sunshine and a light breeze.

Dempsey & Newey with Vincent Korobczke

The am-am section was closely contested with Adam Walker (3) / Aaron Schnake (1) Longley Park / Ind Huddersfield with 42 points on a card with 4 gross birdies and no bogies for a gross 4 under par round looking likely winners. However they were then headed by Mike Dempsey (10) / Pete Newey (15) Ind. Huddersfield with 43 points. A further 43 point card was returned by Terry Makin (10) / Michael Hartley (10) Todmorden who lost out on a back 9 countback.

A poorly supported pro-am section was won by Darren Arber / Steve Boustead (17) West End with 39 points. The Ronnie Parkinson Trophy was presented to Dempsey and Newey by Todmorden Captain Vincent Korobczke.

There is no change to the lead in the Pro Order of Merit with Rob Booth on 63 and Gareth Evans on 56.
