F ormercounty golfer Dave Peel has played all over the country, but apart from his home club, Stockport, where he enjoyed his first proper swings, nowhere has he racked up more rounds than Royal Liverpool – more often know as Hoylake.
During his 22 years representing Cheshire, Peel accumulated a number of prestigious titles, including the County Championship, the Birkdale Silver Goblet and the Gerald Micklem Cup at Sunningdale. He’s never happier, though, then when teeing it up at the famous Open venue, where he enjoyed many a good round competing in the British Amateur, British Mid Amateur and English Amateur.
“I’ve just fallen in love with the place,” he says, and it’s something many golfers do. His fondness for the historic links was established well before he won the Club Championship at Royal Liverpool in 2022, his first year as a member. Peel’s love of Hoylake wasn’t even diminished
