Golden Brown, Simon Has Won!
A wonderful day on the Irish Sea coast in North Wales sees Scotland’s Simon Brown make sure that all Celtic based tournaments in 2023 have been won by Celtic players.
For the home team, Marton Geda achieved his second podium of the year with third place. He was really happy with his position and enjoyed a tense final round with the added experience of playing in the final group. Richard Jones was in a tie for sixth, Martyn tied 9th and Balazs Tompa 21st – all three managing one really good round and not quite finding another.
We were also pleased to have three North Walians making their BMGA debuts. Course owner Christine Jones (with a course putter) scored two 33s on her way to tied 9th, winning our Best Local Player cup and also Cat 2/3/4 after a playoff with Matt Dodd and James Hollinrake. Dave Gallimore in 16th and Dave Pumford 19th were both in the one good round club ahead of the other local Peter Jones in 20th.
Club Captain, Martyn Williams, described it as ‘a great event which could not have been possible without Richard’s organisation and the wonderful hospitality from Christine at the course. It also seems fitting that our very first Club Captain gets his first tour win here in Wales. Well done Simon and thank you to everyone who made the journey to the beautiful side of the border.’
