- It was a ladies day out with Lynn Delahey winning a whopping $780 at the Wanneroo Golf Club final. Lynn also won the Made by Fressko re-usable drink containers valued at $130, so you can say that Lynn has cleaned up this year.
- One of the Lynwood Country Club finalists unfortunately had to pull out due to illness which created an opportunity for the next person inline (Patrick Barlow) to step up and play in the $1,200 final. Some holes were a comedy of errors others were won with great birdies. Two finalists had a great day out and the other two whilst winning money could have won a lot more. Greg Climpson held on to finish as the highest money winner with $520 just from Stephen Crawford $500. Whilst Joel Brown had to pull out he will still get an invitation to play in the National final next year.
Well done everyone. We hope to see you at the Handiskins National Championship at Palm Meadows Golf Course in 2024 on the Gold Coast.

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).
