Top 3 – Clive, Steve (winner) & Mark
Our May event was rearranged at the last minute because Redditch G C being waterlogged we managed to play at Hollywood G C just south of Birmingham, I enjoyed the course and will return there again one day, On form Steve Gibbons took the winners slot again to cement his place at the top of the championship table
July we headed to Wells G C in Somerset, Weather was atrocious and we had to end the event at the 12th green due to the flooded greens, leader of the pack at that point was honourable secretary Richard Tookey who gladly took his first win for 23 years
September we moved up north to Stand G C near Manchester again Steve Gibbons came out on top to deservedly win the 2023 DIGA Championship title, Congratulation Steve G who has been a runner up numerous times in the last few years,
