The story of the title
Aaron Gentle takes the title
On Chalgrave Manor’s notorious 'Card Wrecker', a hole so long it could have its own time zone, Aaron Gentle teed up a drive that thundered into legend—346 yards to be precise. While others wrestled with the sloping fairway and tricky angles, Aaron’s ball soared, leaving Matt Richards and Gal, whose efforts amounted to a brisk morning stroll by comparison, contemplating whether to blame their drivers or simply the laws of physics. Job done.
The hole behind the challenge
Hole 9: Hole 9
The Card Wrecker
The longest hole on the course and a monster test of power and placement. The second shot is key: stay left to open the angle, or go right and you face a sideways, sloping lie into a green surrounded by trees. On a good line—down the left—you can still be left with a demanding third and a tight, precise green entry.
