Bribie Island Golf Club 2020 Handiskins Championship 

Well we finally got there. Bribie Island Golf Club had originally scheduled their $800 2020 Handiskins Club Championship Final for the 19th December 2020. But with the heavy rain and flooding that hit the region that week it had to be shifted to Saturday 30th January 2021.

Whilst the four finalists were all set to go for the new date - Unfortunately Joseph Clouch had to pull out of the final at the last minute. Whilst disappointing for Joseph, secretly we are sure the other finalists saw the opportunity to share les of the spoils, and it only fuelled the competitiveness of our remaining finalists to be crowned the 2020 champ (... even though the final played out in 2021 🤔)

Sudha Hamilton ended up the deserving victor, winning 2 jackpot hole and NTP's finished with a handy $440 from a fast-finishing Jonathan Monro ($320) and  frustrated Ashley Naylor ($40). Naylor played good golf, picking up two early skins and forcing the tie on five other holes - but sadly he just couldn't get his fair share of the cash. That's Skins golf for you, and we are sure Ashley will come back hungrier when the 2021 comp kicks off in August.

Well done everyone, 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 $800 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.

Graeme Douglass - Time to work on your short game!

Graeme Douglass 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 Graeme Douglass also spending more time around the Bribie Island Golf Club chipping greens in the coming months. Graeme Douglass could be contesting both the Peter Lehmann Wines Golf Challenge on the Gold Coast, as well as having 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.
