Result- PGA Blue Tee Team Scramble. Sunday 6th July.
Update -
Dear All,
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the inaugural PGA Blue Tee Scramble!
With just 4 strokes separating all the teams, it was a tight contest from start to finish. Tackling nearly 7,300 yards from the blue tees proved to be a true test of stamina, skill, and—let’s be honest—optimism. The scoring reflected just how well everyone rose to the challenge. Even the mighty 618-yard 9th hole couldn’t be tamed; not even by our resident big-hitting whippersnapper, Mr. McGill, who discovered that sometimes, even two mighty wallops aren’t quite enough (though his second shot was tantalisingly close).
Congratulations to the winning trio of Messrs Cantlay (Jnr), Fletcher, and Penman, who carded an impressive 71! Well played, gents—clearly, you’ve set the bar high (and the rest of us are still looking for ours somewhere in the rough).
Here’s hoping that next year I’ll be fit enough to join in the fun—and that it’s every bit as enjoyable as this year’s event. Until then, keep practising those long drives and questionable putts!
