2024 Men's Club Championships
Well, Club Championships are done and dusted for another year, well done to all that have participated in all rounds of the event and even.
The Finals were held Sunday 27th in almost perfect weather for our players and for the small crowd that had gathered to wish the players well and see the start of their Match Play games.
Those competing for the coveted title of Champion of their respective grades were:-
Men’s Club Champion (A Grade) - Yung Bok Kim vs Chantha Kong – 36 Holes
Men’s A1 Grade – Jin Su Park vs Luke Montgomery – 36 Holes
Men's B Grade - Ray Saxby vs Rory Cho – 27 Holes
Men's C Grade - Sham Sharma vs David Carmichael – 27 Holes
The matches were well contested and played in very good competitive spirit even though some of the results might indicate solid win’s achieved by some.
The Men’s A1 Grade match kept the gallery well engaged for the full 36 holes until we could anoint the winner.
The Men’s Club Champion match was fitting of the title clearing out past 36 holes to continue on to hole 39th before this epic event was finalised.
For those in the gallery we witnessed what were 2 acts of absolute brilliance on the 36th hole when Yung Bok chipped in from off the green handing the challenge on to Chantha to sink a long range put to match Yung Bok’s birdie.
Chantha proved to be a man with ice in his veins and cooly poured the put into the cup to hold off celebrations for a little longer.
After the 3rd additional hole the match was concluded which was fitting because we were running out of sunlight.
Winners for 2024 Championships are
Men’s Club Champion (A Grade) - Yung Bok Kim
Men’s A1 Grade – Jin Su Park
Men's B Grade - Ray Saxby
Men's C Grade - Sham Sharma
Congratulations to all our winners and we look forward to formally presenting their trophies at the Champions event later in November, so please come along to join in the celebrations.
Thanks to all those who helped out on the day to ensure the event was a success.
