Hello golfers,
Pro-Am Success
As the good weather continued into December, we took advantage of our Barometer right here in the ProShop and organised a last minute Winter Pro Am. Teams travelled from across the region to take advantage of what I described as one of Cheshires' most challenging layouts with picturesque views and pure greens.
19 teams in total we received and not one man let us down. It was a full field with some extremely talented professionals present. On the morning of the event (3rd December) a light frost sat stubbornly, with the sun being so low it refused to move. All wasn't affected though and it certainly didn't impact the scores in anyway with blistering scores in both categories being posted. The general consensus was all positive with the visitors enquiring for future events. All were extremely grateful for the use of the full course and even enquired if they would be welcome back.
Pros individual score:
Steve parry - tied 1st 41 points (-5)
Graham Cox - tied 1st 41 points (-5)
Danny Wardrop - 3rd 40 points (-4)
Team scores
Team Wardrop (Stockport Gc) - 93 points
Team Finan (Stamford GC) - 89 points
Team Corfield (Regents Park) - 89 points
Several pro's asked me to pass on thanks to the members for the use of the course, the Greenkeeper for his efforts presenting the course & all organisation. We managed to make a healthy profit from the event and created some superb press coverage.
Congratulations to all prize winners and we hope to have them back here at Stamford in the not too distant future.
