TGA Cleveland Open 2011 - Results

A beautiful spring day to mark the first event of the TGA Twilight League 2011, and the course looked fantastic on the drive up with its lush green fairways. Unfortunately as the game got underway it was apparent that the greens did not match the quality of the fairways. Recent spiking meant that the slow bobbly greens would make it difficult for the TGA players, and this was Evident in the scorecards, with no one managing a net par, or under score.
The player rising to the challenge however was 2010 Tour Champion Chris Brown, who carded 7 pars and a birdie en route to victory with a +1 net total. With the Victory becoming the first TGA player with 4 victories to his name and makes a significant move up the 2011 leaderboard in the process.
Paul Jewitt put together a great back nine that included 3 pars and birdie on the par 5 finishing hole to finish 1 back, and Tony Smith with 3 pars and birdie finishing 2 back, was the winner in the 19-27 handicap category. Mark Wilson won longest drive for the second game in a row with a 300+ yard monster, Mally Grief scored his first extra point of the year with nearest to the pin on Hole 6 and Colin Northmore hit the flagstick on 17 and bounced to within a couple of feet for the second nearest to the pin prize.

Greens aside, the day was great, the course was decent, the company outstanding, the sun was shining and hopefully we're all looking forward to Aldwark Manor in 2 weeks time. See you there.

Longest Drive: Mark Wilson
Nearest to Pin #6: Mally Grief
Nearest to Pin #17: Colin Northmore
