De Vere Mottram Hall in Cheshire has delighted that Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed to become the Honorary Captain of the Golf Club.
The recently retired Manchester United legend was presented with his title at the Gala Dinner to mark the resort’s re-launch last month, following the major £6 million makeover which has transformed the entire resort.
Ferguson has been an active member at Mottram Hall for a number of years and is one of the many sporting stars to regularly play on the par-72 championship golf course.
The announcement comes ahead of an exciting summer season for the resort, as it prepares to host the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship for the first time from the 6-9 June.
Sir Alex Ferguson recently announced his retirement from football management, following an illustrious career which places him as one of the greatest managers of all-time. His 29-year management career started in Scotland before he took up post at Manchester United in 1986. He went on to become the longest serving manager in the club’s history, winning a stunning 38 trophies, including 13 league titles and two Champions League crowns.
In his down time, Ferguson has always enjoyed golf and residing in the stunning countryside near Mottram Hall, and has been a regular face at the Cheshire resort for many years.
“We are delighted to welcome Sir Alex as Honorary Captain of the Golf Club at De Vere Mottram Hall. An association with someone who has achieved so much and been so ever-present is testament to the grand plans that we have for the resort,” commented Daniel Hodson, De Vere Director of Golf.
“His achievements at Manchester United and throughout his career are unlikely to ever be matched and we are honoured to have him on board. He has seen a number of changes and upgrades at Mottram Hall since he first started playing here, and he will be the perfect ambassador for the resort going into the exciting summer season.”
