Each year our friends over at McLintocks Chartered Accountants organise a golf league for the local professionals of Chester and the surrounding area.
The league takes place at Chester Golf Club, over three separate rounds of golf between professionals from Banking, Wealth Management, Accounting and Solicitors.
Last year, the title was won by Jonathan Seddon of Seddon Wealth Management and he was keen to retain his crown this year.
Here is a brilliant little piece written by McLintocks to sum up the final day of competition:
The final round of the McLintocks golf league took place on Thursday 17th July at Chester Golf Club in sweltering heat on the same day as the first day of the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. Talk around the practice putting green was all about Rory McIroy’s impressive first round score of 66 in the morning as everyone was trying not to think too much about their own game and the 27oC temperature!
Lots of friendly banter was exchanged on the first tee as the competitors were all trying to gain a mental edge. Louie Middlehurst from Allington Hughes, the leaders hit his tee shot out of bounds on the first so some of it must have worked!!. Jonathan Seddon from Seddon Wealth Management and Neil Chaddock from McLintocks had a great front 9 and carded an impressive 22 points. This put Seddon Wealth Management into the overall lead going into the back 9 by 2 points. When Jonathan Seddon chipped in on the stroke index 1 13th hole for 4 points Allington Hughes were rattled and thought their chance was gone. Could the defending champions win for a second year?. Then Louie Middlehurst rose to the challenge and even though he was behind a tree on the 16th hole he managed to hook his second shot around the trees and onto the green to 10 feet, shot of the day!!. He duly rolled his putt in for birdie and four points to regain the overall lead.
By the 18th everyone was gasping for a cold pint and we were all hoping that the power was back on in the clubhouse. Fortunately it was and the presentation was made by Mike Caputo and Neil Chaddock from McLintocks to the champion Louie Middlehurst from Allington Hughes who finished with an impressive combined score of 120 points 1 ahead of last years champions Seddon Wealth Management.
Allington Hughes would like to thank McLintocks for all of the effort that goes into organising the league, it truly is a fantastic event. There must also be thanks to all of the competitors who support the league on each occasion and make playing in it so much fun, there really are some great friends and associates made.
Bring on Next year!
