The Men’s Championship Final was held Saturday 26th August on the Bracken course at England Golf’s headquarters , Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire.Â
Â
There were initially 58 qualifiers from the 5 regional finals held in July, with 55 teeing off on Saturday, ably started by NAPGC Secretary, Stuart Cella.
Â
The Bracken course was in great condition with quick greens, coupled with tricky pin positions, posed a very difficult test and the subsequent scores proved that.
Â
David Watson (Rickmansworth) held off the challenges from Rod Gallagher (Hoebridge) and Doug Rae (Farnham Park) to become the Gross Champion.Â
Â
The Nett competition went right to the end. Mau Patene (Haste Hill) registered a very good nett 72 early on and was leader in the clubhouse right until Lawrence Long (Hoebridge) came in one last groups with a nett 71 to win the Nett Champion title.
Â
The other Winners were :
Rod Gallagher (Southern Area)
Steve Green (Midlands Area)
Reiss Curtin- Farrel (Division 1 Gross)
Mau Patane (Division 2 Nett)
Glenn Clifford (Division 3 Nett)
Thomas Clark (Division 4 Nett).
Â
Congratulations to all our winners!

We would like to thank everyone at England Golf for the use of Woodhall Spa as a venue, especially Lisa Brown for assisting in setting everything up on the day.
