Evans' bright start in Nest victory

Regular Halifax-Huddersfield Alliance winner Gareth Evans came up trumps again at yesterday's Meltham event.

The Crow Nest Park player scored the bulk of the points on the front nine and his clubmate Steve Aldeugeur (12) did likewise on the back nine for a winning 44 points in the pro-am section.

It was a similar story for Crosland Heath’s Toby Garrett and Paul Crosse (12), who were just one point back on 43.

Crosland Heath’s Rob Booth and Geoff Newton (7) came next with 40 points.

Scoring was even better in the am-am section with Dewsbury’s Adam Crum (1) and Jordan Hammond (9) carding 47 points to win from Neil Paxman (8) and Tony Baier (13) of Meltham on 46 and James Dix (5) and Graham Thornton (20) of West End on 45.

The front nine was played to the temporary greens with oversize holes due to the overnight frost and all holes were played from the winter tees.

Most of the winning scores came from the later tee times, maybe helped by the softer conditions.

Drizzle in the morning was followed by a sunny spell after lunchtime and then light rain for most of the afternoon.

The easiest hole was the first with two gross and 11 nett eagles and a net albatross by Crosland Heath’s Michael Illingworth.

The much shortened par five seventh produced three gross and four nett eagles and in total there were 36 four pointers or better.

The next Alliance is at Halifax Bradley Hall on Tuesday, March 22.
