The Hackers
Challenge is a
highlight of the Miranda Golf Club playing calendar is a hotly contested
competition between the Miranda Social Golf Club and the Engadine Hackers that
has been in the MGC 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.
To evenly balance the
opportunity for each Club to win the Challenge 2 golfers from MGC played as
Hackers to make 10 even groups of 4 (40 competitors).
The
Hackers defeated Miranda 7 and 3. Congratulations to The Hackers
for an outstanding effort. MGC will now look forward to the rematch in
2027.
Miranda has won The
Challenge 18 times since 1997 and The Hackers have now won 11 competitions.
25 players from MGC teed
off on a morning with mild temperatures clear skies and no wind.
The fairways had a
very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable
amount of 'run' and the grass in the rough was a bit long and wet making it
difficulto get a clean strike of the balls that had come to rest there.
There was a 6 inch
preferred lie on fairways.
The greens were in
good condition but fast making putting challenging.
Bunkers were in play
and contained a good amount of sand.
The Guzzlers Cup was
won by Peter Bull
1st Place:
Peter Bull (37 points)
2nd Place:
