Club de Golf Championships 2020
These took place at Camposol Golf Club over two rounds on 23rd September and 1st October. This is the first time we have held the club championships over 36 holes and it proved an intriguing and compelling challenge for those that took part.
It’s with great pleasure that we announce our new ladies’ club champion as Hayley Barker and the men’s club champion as Dave Hopkins. Congratulations to you both for putting two good rounds together over both days and very well played!
With prizes for the best scores for each round, nearest the pins, longest drives on both days and of course, the club championships, there was plenty for everyone to play for, even if they weren’t in contention for the overall title.
