Nessling and Hill collect PGA Prince’s 27

Paul Nessling (Cooden Beach) and Nick Hill from KRL, one of the PGA South’s leading sponsors, are the new PGA Prince’s 27 champions, shooting a 10-under-par total in the PGA Prince’s 27.

Played over all 27 holes at Prince’s, the Pro-Am pairs play three different formats on each nine: Foursomes on the Shore nine, Greensomes on the Dunes, and Four-Ball BetterBall on the recently re-imagined Himalayas.

Pipped to the post by the winner’s 98 stroke combination of 33, 34, and 31 over the three nines, were Lea Cooper (Tilgate Forest) and partner Joel O’Hara by a single shot, with Paul Creamer (No. 1 Junior Golf Academy) and Ollie Lane two further back.

This is yet another event where The PGA is showing how golf, in a Pro-Am format, can be both enormous fun and still very challenging for any calibre and age of golfer, and that golf’s as much about people playing together as playing as individuals.

And of course, where better to make that point than the stunning links of Prince’s three loops of nine holes…especially after the two year project by top golf course architects Mackenzie and Ebert to redevelop the Himalayas, and make some subtle changes to the Shore and Dunes, about which the feedback is nothing short of outstanding.
