kicking off with the one, the only - The Old Course 🤴⛳️

Did you know...

▪️The Old Course is considered the oldest golf course in the world

▪️The infamous bunkers originated in St Andrews because of sheep burrowing from the harsh wind, Tom Morris decided to leave them in when designing holes

◾️ Tiger Woods will only stay in room 269 at The Old Course Hotel when he stays in St Andrews. The reason being that 269 was the number of strokes it took him to win his first Open Championship in St Andrews back in 2000

Wishing everyone a weekend full of eagles, birdies and 250 yard + drives 🏌🏼‍♂️⛳️☀️🍻

Introducing ‘South America’ - hole number 10 at Carnoustie Golf Links🏌🏼‍♂️⛳️

Caddie’s Tip for playing this hole:

“Avoiding the three right hand bunkers is essential if you hope to reach this green in regulation” (easier said than done!!)

What an epic final day of golf on the Old Course. It was a fantastic way to round off a spectacular Father & Son tournament 🏌🏼‍♂️⛳️

19/04/2023

The results ARE IN‼️Drum roll please…

It is Team Gattorna that takes the crown at this year’s tournament! 🏆

🥇 1st: Team Gattorna - 175 points
🥈 2nd: Team Hassoun - 170 points
🥉 3rd: Team Choate - 162 points

After a convincing first round performance, just one point behind the lead, the Father and Son duo from Australia, put in a resounding performance at Kingsbarns to propel them into the lead in the second round.

They were able to keep hold of their first place status after two further strong performances at Carnoustie, and again at The Old Course today.

Alex Maurer also get a very honourable mention as he was nearest the pin on both Hole 8 and a Hole 11.

Another incredible tournament, and congratulations to all that took part. That’s it for another year!
