Proserpine Golf Club 2021 Handiskins Championship 

As the field assembled for the 2021 Handiskins Championship at Proserpine Golf Club today It was an experienced line up with 2018 Champion Rod Wecker, and two past finalists  (Kercher & Tuck) lining up for a shot at glory.

But it was the 2-handiscapper, and first-time Handiskins finalist Matt Bower that set the leaderboard alight upfront, winning the first 2 skins outright before bagging a monster 7-skin jackpot on the 10th for a solid lead. 

Lewis Tuck clawed back some momentum with 3 skins and a Nearest the pin to put some scoreboard pressure on Bower, and things began to Tense up. There was no further skins won outright on the final 6 holes as all four players kept each other in check - and Bower was crowned the 2021 Champion. An awesome day with all four finalists bagging a few bucks along the way to spend in the pro shop.

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 $1200 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.
