Irene Country Club was in great condition and proved to be a good test for the players at the 2023 GNGU Silver Salver.   However, Irene’s own Tristan Leonard showed true form with a convincing win, finishing on -14 for the event, 7 shots ahead of nearest competitors.

Thank you to Jondo and Duca Del Cosma for your contributions to the tournament.
