Day 2 of the fantastic Welsh Classic at windy North Wales
North Wales is normally a great holiday course where a good score is to be made but a stiff breeze and a torrential thirty minute downpour today meant another tough test was in store for my players.
It was so windy Simon Hemsley drove through the par 4 eighteenth green. Hard to believe but true.
Best score today went to the Paul Fell team early in the day with an excellent 79 points. Stuart Smith, Nigel Ashton and John Williams all contributed well.
The overall team event was always going to be closely fought. Chris Adams team and Jim Clarkes team were both lying second after day one at Conwy and both posted very solid 77’s with Clarkes 40 on the back nine winning the card play-off.
Simon Ashtons Hazel Grove team had a six shot lead but also had the worst conditions to contend with so it was always going to be close. They needed a level par round to secure victory but could only manage a battling 70. They dropped a heart-breaking three shots on the 16th hole but still came off smiling.
Congratulations to Norrie Erwin, Pete Ledger, Jim Clarke and very rounded personality Graham Jackson on a terrific win. Well played chaps.
Thanks to everyone for your amazing support. I hope you enjoyed the tournament.
Next years event is booked in slightly later 16th and 17th June. Get your accommodation booked.
