11: Dardanelles
Par 5 S.I. 2
A 551 yard par 5 that has been rightly described as one of the most difficult par 5 holes in Europe. The drive must be hit accurately across a shallow valley to a rising fairway that narrows and curves to the left, between woods over the brow of a hill. If the fairway is found off the tee, the second shot will be played through the gap between the woods, often using the distant war memorial as the line, otherwise a lay up between the woods may be the only option. Having negotiated the shot between the woods the approach will be taken from a sloping fairway some 150 yards or so from the green. The green, guarded by front bunkers, has some subtle borrows to keep the player wary.
Stornoway Golf Club gratefully acknowledges the sponsorship of the 11th hole “Dardanelles” this year by:
Well done to Colin with gross rounds of 70 and 68 - 138 to win the Thompson Bruce Trophy with Oliver in 2nd place with rounds of 74 and 69 - 143
Tyson winning the nett competition with rounds of 66 and 63 - 129, with Oliver again in 2nd place with rounds of 69 and 64 - 133 ⛳️ 👏
In the Hero Cup this week, James Macrae pipped Molly on backward count both having 37 points each, great competition in the trophy this year. Top 3 scores over the season wins.
Apologies for lack of photos as some have clearly avoided me, but I will catch them up 📷 😅🤷🏻♀️⛳️👍
After Round 1 of the Thomson Bruce Trophy, Lewis leads in the net competition with an excellent 65, one shot ahead of Tyson.
In the gross competition, Colin leads with 70, 3 shots ahead of Lewis.
Top of the tables are pretty close as you can see with all to play for today.
Good luck to everyone ⛳️👍
