Macc bolster development reputation
MACCLESFIELD Golf Club have always had a great reputation for junior development and they are undergoing a facelift for the new season.
Under the guidance of new junior organiser Paul Tovee they have been sponsored by local car dealership Chrome Motors who have supplied the junior team with shirts and jumpers.
The juniors responded well with a convincing win in their first team event of the season beating a strong Ringway team by 3.5-0.5 in the Mid Cheshire League.
Paul Tovee said: “The team are really pleased with their new tops and are grateful to Chrome Motors and club shop owner Christian O’Connor for supplying them with fantastic fresh new kit.
