General Club Noticeboard

Thursday 16th June will be remembered by some for the torrential downpour we all experienced and Northern Ireland's historic win over Ukraine.

However at AEGC it will be remembered as the day the horses and goat were on the course.

Alderley Edge Golf Club is delighted to announce that they are the shirt sponsor for Max Penney, Golf Professional.

Max joined AEGC Junior Section in 2004 at the tender age of 10 years old.  He was following a long line of Penneys with both his Grandfather and father having been longterm members of AEGC.

Max turned professional on 1st January 2016 at the age of 22 and is playing  the UK Pro circuit and came 6th Yesterday at Warrington GC finishing on -3.

He is playing in the British Open Qualifer at the West Lancs G C on Monday 20th June with a tee off time of 12.34.  If you would like to follow him at West Lancs or on Twitter his address @MPenney4 and his facebook name is Max Penney.

We wish Max a very successful summer and further posts will be available on this website as he progresses.

Dave Slater and Stephen Saunders were the proud winners of The Beetlestone Bowl, one of the prestige competitions in the Senior's calendar.

Dave and Stephen won with an impressive 45 points but had been pushed all the way by their playing partners Trevor Rathbone and Malcolm Lowery.

However it was Don Crawshaw and Niall Golding who came in second behind the winners with 41 points
