Annual Finals Day

We recently hosted our annual Finals Day, with the Club Championship serving as the highlight of an exciting day of golf. The 36-hole final saw Clayton Gore, making his debut in the championship, take on seasoned competitor Ian Flower, who was competing in his18th final. Ian, a familiar face in the finals, had only previously been defeated by Luke Thomas, Rhys Carhart, and Stuart Manley.

The match proved to be an entertaining contest, with Clayton finishing the first round 2up.Both players elevated their game in the second round, putting on an impressive display for the spectators. In the end, Ian Flower clinched victory with a birdie on the 18th hole, securing a 2up win.

This marks Ian’s 15th Club Championship title atMountain Ash, further cementing his legendary status in the club’s history. His golfing resume is truly remarkable, featuring aClub Championship win at Aberdare in 2007, a Champion of Champions title, multipleGlamorgan Order of Merit and County Championship wins, a Glamorgan CountyPresidents Cup, KO Cup victories, course records at both Mountain Ash and Caradoc, and the distinction of being one of only three players to represent Glamorgan County over 100times in their 96-year history. Ian was also part of a Welsh Team Championship victory and was awarded life membership at Mountain Ash Golf Club in 2022 for his outstanding achievements and dedication to raising the club's profile in Welsh golf.

Congratulations, Ian! The question now is, how many more championships are still left in the tank?

End Of A Great Golf Season

By Richard Watts • November 21, 2025

Celebrating a Fantastic Season at Mountain Ash Golf Club Presentation Evening 2025 After a long and busy season out on the course, it was brilliant to see so many of us come together for our annual Presentation Evening . This night is always one of the highlights of the MAGC calendar, a chance to celebrate the golfers who’ve put in the hours, supported the club, and delivered some incredible performances throughout the year. This season has seen some outstanding golf across every section of the club. From nail-biting finishes and first-time winners to more seasoned players showing exactly why experience counts, the competitions have been as exciting as they’ve been memorable. Every trophy handed out represents commitment, consistency and, above all, a shared love of the game. Presentation Night isn’t just about medals and silverware though, it’s about recognising the spirit of Mountain Ash Golf Club . Our competitions are the lifeblood of our club, the traditions that connect long-standing members with new faces, and the heartbeat that keeps our community thriving. Seeing the room full of smiles, stories and well-earned celebrations reminded us why MAGC is such a special place to belong. As we look ahead to the next 12 months, we’re genuinely excited about what’s to come. Work is already underway to continue improving the course, refining how our competitions run, and making sure every golfer, whether you’re chasing scratch or happy just to get up the hill on hole 5, gets the best possible experience. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended, everyone who competed this year, and everyone who continues to support the club in so many ways. Here’s to another brilliant season, more improvements, more memories, and, of course, more great golf at Mountain Ash Golf Club. See you on the course! ⛳️
