An extra day of golf was held on Friday 31st August after the Championships at Royal Pines Resort which is one of the courses in contention for the second golfing venue in 2008’s Championship which was enjoyed as a wind down after the event.
The non-handicappers event is for those golfers that do not hold an official Golf Australia or Golf Access handicap. Non-handicappers will play in their own separate event with equally fantastic prizes and will be handicapped via the Double-Perrier system (no social club handicaps are permitted).
Champion Australian Social Golf Club, State of Origin and Individual Championship titles were also up for grabs and were hotly contested!
To be eligible to enter the Champion Australian Social Club event you must field a minimum of three players from your social golf club. The three best daily scores out of your team of four will count toward your tally. You may enter as many teams as you like eg: Palm Meadows A, Palm Meadow B etc.
