Glamorgan County Presidents Cup

By Mountain Ash Golf Club • October 22, 2024
Congratulations to Rhys Carhart on his impressive victory in the Glamorgan County President’s Cup today at Cardiff Golf Club! Rhys secured his place in the final after a hard-fought 1up win against Tom Peet of Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club in the morning’s semifinal.  The final turned into an all-Mountain Ash showdown as Rhys faced off against fellow club member Ian Flower, who had already earned his spot. It was Rhys’s day to shine, as he triumphed with a 2&1 victory over Ian. A huge well done to both players for representing Mountain Ash Golf Club with pride once again! In the first photo, Rhys is pictured alongside Glamorgan County Golf UnionPresident, Ednyfed Morgan, after claiming his well-deserved title.
