The Bolton Championship

Philbin takes title for the 3rd time

Tim Philbin (Hindley Hall GC) won the Bolton Golf Championship on the 17th hole of a tense final against Rob Taylor (Bolton GC).
A large number of spectators followed the final on a lovely Thursday evening at Bolton Old Links. The golf was steady without too many surprises. Rob Taylor failed to find his putting touch on the slippery greens which lead to Tim finally having a short putt on the 17th to take the title.

Bolton Old Links Golf Club hosted the 36 hole qualifying for the Bolton Championship on Saturday the 20th June.
The weather was mixed throughout the day with heavy showers, thick rough and fast greens making scoring difficult. After a tough day the leading qualifier was Tim Philbin of Hindley Hall Golf Club, a two time previous winner of the Championship.

The golf course was considered to be in excellent condition and the test fare even though weather conditions made things a challenge.

The semi finals finished in a win by Rob Taylor in extra time with a birdie on the first extra hole and a walk over win for Tim Philbin due to Gareth Hasties' Open Championship qualifying commitments.
Why not come and see some exciting golf in excellent surroundings followed by some Old Links hospitality

Due to torrential rain the semi finals were completed a day late on Wednesday 24th, the final will be played on Thursday 25th commencing at 5.15pm.
