“ The Unearthing of a Jewel…”
Those were the words used by an appreciative golfer on Sunday February 5 as he called a fellow golfer during his round of golf at the Ironshore Golf & Country Club course. Sunday Februari 5 was the first in the series of tournaments scheduled by Ironshore Golf & Country Club for the 2012 calendar year and was an Individual Stoke Play. The day saw 24 locals and one tourist coming out to vie for top spot and fantastic prizes being offered by the tournament sponsors: Appleton Jamaica Rums; Mystic India ,Profumo Duty Free and Bonafide Men’s Salon all at the Whitter Village as well as Parkway Supermarket & Catering.
After four intense hours of play on a course that has improved significantly so that local golfers now refer to it as “Possibly the best greens in the island” Winners for the day were:
George Watt with 1st place Net Score of 63
Opeton Marshall with 1st place Gross Score of 69
Manu Chandiram with 2nd place Net Score of 64
Glen Lawrence with 3rd place Net Score 65 points
The closest to the pin prizes were shared by Patrick Allen and John Adcock a visitor to the shores- who score at holes number 4 and 12 respectively.
Sean Morris, a member of the Jamaica Amateur Golf Association, commented “I regret not having played in the tournament today... but I had great reviews from fellow golfers and had to come see the state of the course for myself.” After touring the course and doing a practice round he conferred with his fellow golfers that indeed Ironshore Golf & Country Club course is a jewel being unearthed. Grab your clubs or rent a set at their club house and go experience for yourself the jewel in the west.
