Does anyone have more fun at a Handiskins Final than the ladies at Cumberland Golf Club?
Often a fun but tense affair for amateur golfers when they make their club final, when their nerve gets tested on pressure shots, it is terrific to see the ladies at Cumberland taking it all in their stride with an impromptu photo shoot.
Looks like a lot of fun ladies! Keep up the good work and enjoy your golf. If you want to take a look at some of the shots head to Banners Golf Facebook Page below.

Don't forget the Yamaha Chipping Competition!
Don't forget that three players from each participating club also have the chance to clean up at the Handiskins National Championships Week. After taking out the the nearest the pin challenge in the first, third and fifth rounds of qualifying, don't be surprised if you see these qualifiers spending an extended amount of time around the club chipping greens in the coming months. All three players who took out the nearest the pin have scored an invitation to contest the Yamaha Chipping competition at the 2024 Handiskins Championship Week. The winner will return to their club as the owner of a brand new Yamaha Golf Cart - just like our lucky 2023 winner Peter Kirwin from Cowra Golf Club (watch below).
