Cammeray Golf Club 2020 Handiskins Championship 

Whilst 2020 has been a year to forget for... well just about everyone in the world, there was one proud fella at Cammeray Golf Club who can take something positive out of the year. After dominating Cammeray's qualifying rounds (and taking home a swathe of Peter Lehmann Wines, Bridgestone Golf Balls, and Leuk the Duck Driver Covers), Mark Ohlsson arrived to perfect golf conditions to finish the job in the Handiskins Final, and despite some tense moments in the final, he didn't disappoint.

In a skins round that had an amazing thirteen tied/jackpot holes, it seemed that Mark Ohllson was destined to be cursed by his qualifying round form. But a massive jackpot hole on the 16th was the only one he needed to take out the title, but he also added a couple of 'nearest the pins' to take home a handy $272.50 of the $600 on offer. 

Fellow finalists Jim Webster ($182.50) and Jase Carr ($132.50) were also in the money, it was an unlucky Iver Christiansen who played well-enough to tie-up seven of the skins holes, only to miss out on winning any skins outright, to only pocket a cruel $12.50 payday. Its a cruel game sometimes (but also why we love it).

Well done guys, we hope to see you at the Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines in 2021 on the Gold Coast. 

All four finalists received a Bridgestone Golf Cap and fought it out for their share in $1200 of Club Vouchers. 

National Championships Qualifications 2021

All four finalists have now also qualified for the national championship and are extended an invitation to contest Australasia's best Amateur golf championship at the 2021 Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort next May. Given the great spirit contesting today we are sure all four finalists would be able to claim the silverware and be crowned Handiskins National Champion. The 2021 event will be held from  Wednesday 28th April – Sunday 2nd May 2021.

Non-qualifiers can still join the fun of the National Championships

Time for Greg Sinclair to work on his short game?

Greg Sinclair will be in a position to clean up at the Handiskins National Championships Week. After taking out the the nearest the pin challenge in the first round of qualifying, don't be surprised if you see Greg Sinclair also spending more time around the Pacific Dunes chipping greens in the coming months. Not only can Greg be contesting the Peter Lehmann Wines Golf Challenge, but he has also earned the the opportunity to contest the Yamaha Chipping competition at the 2021 Handiskins Championship Week. The winner will return to their club as the owner of a brand new Yamaha Golf Cart.

Thanks Cammeray Club for a terrific tournament in 2020 - we can't wait to see you all again in 2021
