The players from Macclesfield family business PR Jones Jewellers came out on top holding off the challenge of 15 other teams.

All were competing for the prestigious Mactex Trophy which has been running for 37 years.

The big winners were East Cheshire Hospice which received a bumper donation of £14,562 from the tournament.

The event always raises large sums for the Hospice and is the flagship competition on Prestbury’s charity golf calendar.

It is organised by John Davies, Director of Mactex Properties Ltd, and ex-golf professional Nigel Preston, from Interflex.

Main sponsors were again estate agents Holmes Naden.

John said: “We’re delighted to have raised another magnificent total and would like to thank all the businesses and volunteers who helped make it possible.

“Supporters included Amanda Cross from Sphere UK, Victoria and Georgina Devon, Paul and Nick Bianchi and Claire Gorton, Luke Hughes, Emma Bate and Sarah Elvin from the Hospice.

“Prestbury Golf Club are wonderful hosts, boasting excellent facilities and one of the finest courses in Cheshire.

“The Hospice need to raise £9,362 a day so the contribution from the golf day is a welcome addition to its funds.

“We’re aiming to make our 2026 golf day another big success.”
