- Toowoomba Golf Club Middle Ridge: There was only 4 shots between these 4 finalists and all of them were A-graders. In the end a $360 jackpot hole was enough for Ben Walker to finish on top winning a total of $440.
- Woodford Golf Club's Robert Mather hadn't won a skin until the 13th Hole and ended up with $615 to take the 2023 title. It just goes to show that if you hang in there it will eventually come.
- Gosford Golf Club played Saturday 13th May 2023. A very close game between our 4 finalists with Eddie Rogers coming out on top winning $475.
- The Stirling Golf Club played host to their first ever Handiskins competition and the 4 finalists had a great day and experience. Oscar Baulderstone just finished on top winning $325 from Mark Bouman ($305).
Well done everyone. We hope to see you at the Handiskins National Championship at Palm Meadows Golf Course in 2024 on the Gold Coast.
All four finalists from each club received a Bridgestone Golf Cap and their winnings above in Club Vouchers.
National Championships Qualifications 2024
All four finalists have now also qualified for the national championship and are extended an invitation to contest Australia's best Amateur golf championship at the 2024 Handiskins National Championship at Palm Meadows Golf Course next May. Given the great spirit shown in this months club finals, we are sure all four finalists would be in with a chance to claim the silverware and be crowned Handiskins National Champion. The 2024 event will be held from Wednesday 1st May to Sunday 5th May 2024.
Non-qualifiers can still join the fun of the National Championships
For those who weren't lucky enough to qualify for the National Championships but want to join these finalists and other club-mates on the Gold Coast each year, take a look at the amazing packages that we have available for the Peter Lehmann Wines Golf Challenge - A social Stableford championship for those wishing to join the fun of Handiskins National Championship Week. Player Packages and non-playing partner packages are now open. Find out More about the Peter Lehmann Wines Golf Challenge here.
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).
See you again in 2024
