Closest to the Pin
Gal took the Closest to the Pin challenge, landing a shot a mere 5 metres from the target. The 6th hole—generously sized—still had to cope with Gal’s unerring aim and, possibly, some self-satisfied strutting.

Gal takes the title
Gal emerged triumphant in the Closest to the Pin battle, parking a dimpled sphere just 5 metres from the pin on the 6th hole—a fairway noted for its impressive girth (the hole’s, not Gal’s). Gal’s effort offered the sort of accuracy that normally comes only from satellites or very eager snooker players. With the cash prize secure and the ball surely still basking in its proximity glory, Gal can claim the day’s precision bragging rights—and likely won’t let anyone forget it over dinner.
