  • Sandiway Oak

  • Wallasey - Frank Stableford
  • Bromborough Bowl
  • Prestbury Open
  • Wilmslow Crow
  • Stockport Salver
  • Eaton Talbot
  • Mere Trophy
  • Warrington - Hill Warren Trophy

The Order of Merit is calculated on the current playing year with a cut-off of 20 September.

The winner will receive his award at the Cheshire Golf Annual Dinner.
