Sweepstake While Shane was doing his thing at Royal Portrush, the R&CPGC patrons were following it intently to see how their sweepstake team was getting on. As to be expected a dropped shot or a birdie here and there would have a drastic effect on the sweepstake. Once all the toing & froing had settled down, we finally found ourselves a winner...somebody who has cornered the Bonus Ball in recent weeks has up scaled to sweepstakes now. The winner was Ray Pooley (queue the groans) with a winning team of Jon Rahm, Shane Lowry, Danny Willett & Graeme McDowell. Ray's ProShop account has taken a huge boost and is ready and waiting for him to spend. If you were wondering how your team got on, take a look at the final leaderboard here.
Open Pro Am Before Lowry's heroics, we had the R&CPGC Open Pro Am where the attached professionals went head to head with 3 R&CPGC members making up the rest of their team. A much smaller event than the usual Pro Am but just as competitive. The team prize was a 3 man team as one of their players had to drop out last minute which makes their winning score of 18 under par even more impressive, as they had to take the best 2 scores as well! The winning team were Sam Shearer, Mike Puddy and their Professional Jack Colegate. Sam and Mike won an Under Armour outfit and Jack bagged himself some cash. There was also an Individual Professional prize, 7 Professionals all shooting out for £175. Our winner was Jordan Godwin with an awesome 64, 7under par, even better considering he wasn't sure he could complete 18 holes due a back injury...beware the injured golfer! Big thank you to everybody who played in the inaugural event and hope you can make it every bit as successful as this year! Another big thank you to Danny & Dale for using our event to showcase their BBQ skills and I think I speak for all involved when I say it was fantastic and the food went down a treat!
