Alliance Ace for Jon

Warrington is one of Cheshire’s top courses and a regular favourite for The Manchester and District Golf Alliance’s and county competitions and there was a waiting list for the latest one sponsored again by Warrington member and Alliance supporter Anton Johnson.
The course was in immaculate condition and enjoyed by a full field who were also delighted by some excellent weather with plenty of top scores.
The highlight of the day was a stunning ace on the 152-yard par three 13th by Cheshire legend Jon Beesley.
Jon has been a key member of the Cheshire Men’s team and also the team Captain for several years.
Jon is a member at Mere and Warrington and he was delighted to record the seventh hole-in-one in his illustrious golf career.
Jon said: “I used a wedge and it was probably the best strike I hit all day.
“My playing partners Jordan Massey. Luke Higgins and Lewis Gottlieb all shouted ‘go in the hole’ as it was in the air and then went mental when it went in!
“My previous aces were four at Mere, one at Adlington and the other one on the 12th hole at Warrington and I was rewarded for the seventh ace by Alliance President Ian Brooks who presented me with a box of balls for my ace which was suitably celebrated at the 19th.”
