With bushfires ravishing the entire east coast of Australia it was a daunting haze that greeted the finalists at the RACV Royal Pines Resort Club Handiskins Championship of 2019. One lady made the final against 3 men and came out on top. David Hogben the director of Golf at Royal Pines said Miran Kim played an amazing game of golf to finish with a tidy $600, edging out Barry Rhodes, Bronson Powe and Noel Mewett. Mewett was extremely unlucky having squared 4 of the 18 holes, he was unable to take a hole outright, showing just how cruel the game of skins can be sometimes. Watch out for these four at the Handiskins National Championship at RACV Royal Pines 29th April to 3rd May on the Gold Coast, as they will have a strong home course advantage.
All four finalists received a Bridgestone Golf Cap and fought kit out for their share in $1200 of Club Vouchers. The final standings were:
- Miran Kim - $600
- Mick Phillips - $360
- Gavin Britten - $240
- Aaron Amos - $0

All four finalists have now also qualified for the national championship and are extended an invitation to contest Australasia's best Amateur golf championship at the 2020 Handiskins Australian Championship at RACV Royal Pines Resort next year (Wed 29 Apr - Sun 3 May 2020). Given the great spirit contesting today we are sure all four finalists would be able to claim the silverware and be crowned Handiskins National Champion.
