The competition was a stroke play event which required a different level of thinking as opposed to the usual stableford format, players would have to control their ball rather than just go all guns blazing, no chance of skipping a hole if you can no longer score this time every shot counts.<\/p>\n<p>The course was in lovely condition and the greens running smooth and true; with the sun also shining all was right in the world of golf.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue and Silver courses where the nines in play for this event with the competition level running very high;&nbsp; There would only be one winner in this format unlike the usual Majors where we have multiple prizes.&nbsp; The first winner of this completion which was held last year was Rhucha Ford, but on this occasion there would be no repeat performance from the past champion.<\/p>\n<p>In the first group and first to post a score was Nigel Harris who on countback lead with a 73 net ahead of Roan McLeod who played well but struggled with his driving.<\/p>\n<p>As the groups slowly came into the club house Nigel was still holding onto the lead however Keith Salmon came in with a 72 net score.to take the overall lead.<\/p>\n<p>It was looking like a Keith Salmon victory until Ian Higgins came in with the low score of the day, a net 70 was good enough to take the win and the title of Champion of Champions for 2016.<\/p>\n<div id=\"footable_parent_5255\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"5255\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Competition Report (Full Net Result) - Champion of Champions - 26 June 2016.csv\"            id=\"footable_5255\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_1486376958_5255\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_5255 ninja_table_unique_id_1486376958_5255 ui table  nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped vertical_centered  footable-paging-right\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_3 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second ever CGS Champions of Champions event was staged at the Shropshire Golf Club with 20 past major winners in attendance.&nbsp;
