The Bramhall Golf Club

S

unday the 16th July, Bramhall Golf Club held the grand opening of the new clubhouse. With the sun shining hundreds of people flocked to the course to join in the fun. We caught up with Bramhall’s Captain Ian Hazlewood to find out more.

“We had a great day, thankfully the weather was on our side so members and non-members turned up in their hundreds. A big thank you to ex European Tour winner (and former Bramhall Assistant Professional) Andrew Murray for doing the honours, we were delighted to have him back” “Along with Andrew, Paul Barrington was on hand with his wonderful golf trick shot show, I think the Vice Captain can confirm that he is a very talented golfer”. (see picture with golfer lying on the ground)
