MARK Bradley faces some tough competition when he defends his Lakes Classic crown at Windermere this weekend (Aug 21-22).
He claimed the title for a second time with a putter he bought from a member at Chorley where he is professional. And he’s still using it although he’s not won since!
A 47-strong field includes Andrew Barnett, Will Barnes and Barry Taylor who played for GB&I in the biennial PGA Cup against the United States at Loch Lomond resort The Carrick last autumn.
But the player who poses the biggest threat is David Shacklady who has already booked his place for next year’s revenge mission to California.
The Lancastrian, the most prolific winner on the North Region pro-am circuit, earned the privilege after going within a whisker of landing the £10,000 prize pot in the Glenmuir PGA Professional Championship at The Oxfordshire last weekend, losing to Ireland’s David Mortimer at the first extra hole.
Shacklady is also a past Lakes Classic winner, as is Huddersfield’s Paul Carman who is pursuing a record fifth title.
Local interest is provided by host club professional Simon Edwards and his predecessor Steve Rooke.
