Canterbury Men’s Champion of Champions

The Canterbury Men’s Champion of Champions Tournament was played at Bottle Lake Golf Club recently in cold, wintery conditions, fortunately with the rain not setting in until the players had just finished. The course was in great order considering the recent weather, with Andrew and the greens staff to be commended, especially for their efforts on the greens before play commenced.

A field of 75 players from 25 Canterbury Clubs braved the conditions, which was a credit to them and their clubs.

The Team Gross Stableford Competition was taken out by the Ellesmere team (Pictured above) of Mike Berry, James Geddes and Bill Marshall (absent) with 79 points.

The Team Net Stableford Competition was won by Coringa’s Gil McKinnon, Matt Vieceli and David Kim with 93 points.
