Leeton Golf Club 2021 Handiskins Championship 

Blue skies greeted our finalists for the fourth instalment of the Leeton Golf Club Handiskins final this year. And just like all previous years, it was a terrific dogfight for the dollars.

After Kellahan grabbed the first skin, Gary Schmetzer got off to a flier taking out 6 of the first 7 skins. From here last years finalist Mark Delgigante and Adriu Tagilala took more control with a see-sawing battle for the lead. When Tagilala grabbed the $100 Jackpot on the 16th, a gap had formed and with the final holes tied, he was able to hold on to be crowned the 2021 champion.

Adriu Tagilala picked up almost half the prize money winning $272.50 from Mark Delgigante $172.50, Gary Schmetzer $112.50 and John Kallahan $42.50.

Some amazing golf was played and all 4 should be proud of how they played and the spirit the final was played in.

Well done everyone. We hope to see you at the Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines in 2022 on the Gold Coast. 

All four finalists received a Bridgestone Golf Cap and fought it out for their share in $600 of Club Vouchers. 

National Championships Qualifications 2022

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 2022 Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort next May. Given the great spirit shown in today's club final, we are sure all four finalists would be in with a chance to claim the silverware and be crowned Handiskins National Champion. The 2022 event will be held from Wednesday 4th – Sunday 8th May 2022.

Jacqui, Rod, & Chris - it's time to work on your short game!

Jacqui Walsh, Rod Emerson, and Chris Doolin are all now in a position 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 them all spending an extended amount of time around the Leeton Golf Club chipping greens in the coming months. All three players have scored an invitation to contest the Yamaha Chipping competition at the 2022 Handiskins Championship Week. The winner will return to their club as the owner of a brand new Yamaha Golf Cart - just like our lucky 2021 winner Shane Gray (watch below).
