Davis wins tight handicap final

THE final of the Handicap Championship for 2025 was finalised last Wednesday at the Mount Gambier Golf Club, played in rather cold and windy conditions.

After a marathon game, with only one hole difference all day, Davis was able to get over the line on the 24th Hole and became the 2025 Handicap Champion.

The Match was adjudicated by club captain Bernie Jennings and both players were to be commended on the spirit in which the match was played.
