15/06/2024 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Hacker's Challenge - 9:00am

The Hackers Challenge is a hotly contested competition between the Miranda Social Golf Club and the Engadine Hackers that has been in our playing calendar since 1997. As is the usual case the games were played in good spirits and all involved in the competition appeared to enjoy the experience. 

Miranda was defeated by The Hackers 6 to 2 with one drawn game. Congratulations to The Hackers for an outstanding effort to defeat the Miranda boys. MGC will now look forward to the rematch in 2025.

21 players from Miranda Golf Club and 18 from The Hackers teed off on a cool morning with rain drizzling for most of the morning.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was a bit long but in good condition.

The greens were in good condition with a thick mat of grass making putting challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Darren Welsh

2nd Place:         Fred El-Daher (38)
