2020 Handiskins Championship - McLeod Country Golf Club
McLeod Country Golf Club, in the leafy western suburbs of Brisbane, hosted their very first Handiskins final today, after some extremely competitive qualifying rounds that saw 59 players choke the leaderboard and force a countback to determine our finalists.
And the final mirrored the closeness of qualifying. After the first 9 holes were evenly shared across our four finalists - we knew it would come down to who would have the coolest heads heading into the big-money back nine.
As can often happen in pressure situations, the scratch marker Robert Spence was able to draw on his experience to come home with a wet sail winning a massive $515 from Ron Mientjes $275, Michael Salisbury $215 and Stephen Hanlon $195; all of whom went home with their heads held high and their wallets a bit fatter.
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 $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
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.

Time for Brian Keenan to work on their short game?
Brian Keenan 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 Brian Keenan also spending more time around the McLeod Country Golf Club chipping greens in the coming months. Brian Keenan 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.
See you again in 2021
Thanks McLeod Country Golf Club for a terrific tournament in 2020 - we can't wait to see you all again in 2021
