We recently hosted our annual Finals Day, with the Club Championship serving as the highlight of an exciting day of golf. The 36-hole final saw Clayton Gore, making his debut in the championship, take on seasoned competitor Ian Flower, who was competing in his18th final. Ian, a familiar face in the finals, had only previously been defeated by Luke Thomas, Rhys Carhart, and Stuart Manley.
The match proved to be an entertaining contest, with Clayton finishing the first round 2up.Both players elevated their game in the second round, putting on an impressive display for the spectators. In the end, Ian Flower clinched victory with a birdie on the 18th hole, securing a 2up win.
This marks Ian’s 15th Club Championship title atMountain Ash, further cementing his legendary status in the club’s history. His golfing resume is truly remarkable, featuring aClub Championship win at Aberdare in 2007, a Champion of Champions title, multipleGlamorgan Order of Merit and County Championship wins, a Glamorgan CountyPresidents Cup, KO Cup victories, course records at both Mountain Ash and Caradoc, and the distinction of being one of only three players to represent Glamorgan County over 100times in their 96-year history. Ian was also part of a Welsh Team Championship victory and was awarded life membership at Mountain Ash Golf Club in 2022 for his outstanding achievements and dedication to raising the club's profile in Welsh golf.
Congratulations, Ian! The question now is, how many more championships are still left in the tank?
