Final day of the brilliant Welsh Classic at North Wales
Everyone had a really enjoyable days golf at this fantastic holiday links course- North Wales, what a gem.
There were a few jaded faces this morning as the Llandudno Blue Elephant curry house took its revenge on more than one team.
I went out for a posh meal last night in a bistro with the senior Knutsford team which included the President and three past Captains. I must have had a few too many drinks as I faintly remember telling them what great players they were.
I think they actually believed me and full of confidence they recorded a season best 80 points today – well played chaps. Even Stuart Blake drained a long putt for a birdie two.
Pete Dorans team had breakfast at the Golf Club this morning and ordered three well done bacon sandwiches and one crispy one. I thought I had misheard them but they repeated the order.
I am not too sure what the difference between a well-done bacon butty and a crispy one was but everyone seemed happy enough when the food arrived.
There is a sign outside near the patio warning players to watch out for seagulls stealing food. There needs to be a sign in the clubhouse warning players to keep an eye out for Colin Roberts who helped himself to a couple of my chips when I was distracted.
The final day saw a few teams making a big move with Andy Taylor, Mick Mahon, John Owen, Paul Fell, Steve Schofield and Neale Laurents teams all making big moves through the field. Excellent.
Steve Schofield put his good performance down to a half time snack made by team mate and Welsh host Alan Gibson. They were hoping for a welsh minted lamb wrap but had to settle for an egg butty. But the energy boost saw them race through the field from into 8th.
Today saw Neale Laurents(12) Dukinfield team taking the daily prize with a solid 88 points. Darren Burgess(8), Paul Butler(6) and Chris Burnett(8) all contributed really well.
Winning the overall team event was Jim Clarkes(9) team of Pete Ledger(14), Graham Jackson(8) and James Joyce(4). The prolific team were already been docked 2 shots each for next years Portugal event. These are 4 lovely guys but two wins and podium finishes in all five events together now means a three shot Maxitours reduction each to ensure a nice spread of winners. They are gentlemen and fully understand. Well played chaps. Excellent golf from four very, very good and very competitive golfers! Congratulations on a terrific win.
Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance once again. Incredible.
Yours in golf and friendship.
