Draw - Princes Pot Round 1. PGA. Sat 12th April.

Following on from last week’s endeavour on the PGA we’re back there again for round one of the Prince’s Pot. This is a two round Stableford event with the highest combined points total being victorious. David Mitchell is the current holder, and he is looking to retain for another year, so the challenge is to knock him off his perch.

We have 46 entries already, however there are still six spaces for anyone who still wishes to enter.

History:

The Princes Pot Trophy first awarded in 1986: Before the development of the PGA Centenary golf course Dun Whinny played some medals on the Glendevon Course and it was at the suggestion of John Rankin that at least two of the medals on the Glendevon course be moved to the Princes Course and he purchased a small trophy to be awarded to the best two round Stableford aggregate on the Princes Course. At that time the princes Course was 18 holes in length which then became known as the Wee Course and now known as the PGA Academy Course and is only 9 holes of Par 3 golf. The change came about when a substantial portion of the Princes Course was lost to the formation of what is now the PGA Centenary Course. In 1999 following approval from John Rankin the Princes Pot is now played as two rounds of Stableford Golf on the PGA Centenary Course.
