The final of the extended competition due to course closures experienced in July from the excessive rainfall, was played on Sunday, 4 August between Michael Caldwell / Michael Williams and John Gabor / Michael Schnabl.
Huge congratulations to Michael Caldwell and Michael Williams for clinching the Pollock Memorial Shield for the first time! 
It was an incredible day filled with great shots, tough competition, and superb camaraderie.  The difference on the day was Michael Caldwell who played exceptionally well and took full advantage of his handicap on the holes where it counted.  The victory was sealed on Hole 17, with the two Michael’s winning 3/1.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the event.  There were some challenges with the persistent rain delays.
