The unpredictable weather has once again played the leading role in our recent golfing events. While competition has been significantly impacted, we managed to get in some play, albeit much less than usual. This disruption has thrown our calendar into disarray, forcing us to reschedule events for March, subject to further weather conditions. Despite the challenges, a few competitions took place last week, and we are pleased to announce the results of the games that did go ahead.
On Wednesday, February 19th, 17 players participated in the PGC Stableford competition. Adam Davies emerged as the men’s winner with a solid 40 points, followed by Gary Scotford with 34 points. In the ladies’ category, Lyn Muller took the top spot with 31 points, just ahead of Elspeth Scotford with 30.
Thursday, February 20th saw another round of the PGC Single Stableford, where Nic Apruzzese claimed victory in A Grade with 37 points, edging out Matthew Muller. In B Grade, Mitchell Whitton led with an impressive 41 points, with James Devery taking second place with 38.
Friday, February 21st featured the Metropole Run, a front 9 event, where Tom O’Brien scored 21 points to secure the win. Jared Leaman followed as runner-up with 20 points.
Sadly, the weather forced the cancellation of the competition on Saturday, February 22nd, with no play taking place and the course was also closed on Sunday.
Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about the upcoming fixtures for the week ending March 2nd, with plans for social play, stroke and stableford events, and the Metropole 9-hole run on the calendar. However, all events remain dependent on weather conditions and as always, full results can be found on Golflink, and we’ll continue to keep our fingers crossed for better weather moving forward!
The course in 2023, when similar weather hit the area like that of this year.
