Monday 24.8. – New and old champions

Yesterday this year's LoG stroke play championships were decided. The format is unforgiving, and there's no room for big mistakes. After the first day, the situation at the top was tight in every category, so the second day started in an exciting atmosphere. The players starting from the lead held their ground well, and only in the junior category did first place change hands after the second day of play.

The short-game championship was also decided over the weekend on the par-3 course, with new names taking home the women's and men's short-game titles. Congratulations to everyone who did well and to everyone who took part! Here are the winners by category:
