The story of the title

Gaz/Chalk takes the title

Chalk didn’t just pick up the Singles crown—partnering up with Gaz to take the Pairs title as well. Double duty indeed, and no wonder Chalk came home feeling on top of the world, like a golfer who’s finally found a marker that doesn’t rub off after eighteen holes.

Toughest holeHole 66.50 average gross. The field found its sternest examination here. Best scoring chanceHole 142.13 points average. The clearest scoring opportunity arrived here. Turning pointHole 12A magnificent and striking hole. Tee view dominated by a chalk face or causeway hazard to cross on the approach. A fairway metal sets you just right—left is the preferred side for the approach; anything short or right may find trouble.
