The Clwydian Merit Qualifying events always attract heavy rain and this year was no exception. However, whilst our ‘C’ Team players JohnP & Gay at Denbigh had rain all day long, at Bryn Newydd near Prestatyn, our ‘A’ Team players Shan & Ian had to put up with sudden but extremely heavy showers. Our ‘B’ Team players, TomC and GaryB, who both got through to the second round, were at Rhyl. Ian did the Club proud by winning all his games so qualifying for the Final rounds on Monday at Min Y Don.
The Closing Fours Competition took place yesterday – the final home competition of 2023 – with pairs competing for the prestigious trophy. The Final was played between Bob & SteveR and Rog & JohnF. It was a hard fought game with Bob & SteveR the victors. Congratulations to all the players, the finalists and the winners. Some more photos to appear in a few days.
The Closing Fours Competition takes place today. Please turn up at the green by 1:00pm if you intend to play. Hopefully the weather will be kind and it will also give you some good practice on the green if you still have ladder matches to play.
Congratulations to the two Opening Fours pairs, due to play their Final today, which has been declared a draw due to previous commitments that prevented all the participants from playing. Clare & Shan versus Chris & Diane – perhaps each one will take home the trophy for 3-months each?
Remember too to pay for the End of Season lunch so whilst you’re at the Club today, please collar DaveH and let him have it.
