A total of 48 golfers travelled down to the Gold Canyon Course with only one managing to get lost on the way. All 12 teams managed to get away on time with 6 off the front and 6 off the back nines. While visibility was low due to mist/smoke it did cut down on the heat for at least 9 holes. The course while starting to brown off was mostly in good shape, the greens had been cored and sanded but as they only did half of each green and placed the flags on the uncored half it did little to upset play as the scoring on the day indicates. It appeared that we were the only ones on the course and all groups completed their rounds in just over four hours.
There was some extremely good scoring on the day with the long driving of some individuals being described as ‘Gorilla’s in the Mist’ and also with some very close ‘nearest the pins’ but unfortunately this time no ‘holes in one’. Chip in birdies it seems were shared by most teams. The winners on the day were ‘Team Wired’ (Wales,Ireland,England,Denmark) Keith Taylor, Kieran Savage, Mr.B.Lucassen & Len Sparrow with a Gross 68 Net 57 with the runners-up being Awesome Australia Gross 68 Net 59 and G-Bag (Great Britain) Gross 70 Net 59 and Team USA & Team Asia tied but just out of the prizes.
From all reports everyone enjoyed the day and it only remains to thank not only all those who participated on the day but especially the committee for all their work on a job well done.
