His and Hers tourney crowns DesChamp and Hannah 2023 champs

The Rupert golf club enjoyed near-perfect weather to welcome 39 couples to town June 24 and 25

It was the young guns who prevailed in the His and Hers golf tournament June 24 and 25 at the Prince Rupert Golf Club.

Local youngster Arlen DesChamp partnered with Kitimat’s Chalaine Hannah shot a two-day 150, or 10 over par, to claim the overall low gross title at the par-70 course.

The overall low-net title went to Don and Janis Malkow from Smithers. The Malkows, playing to a combined handicap of 21.6 in the second of three flights, shot 173 gross for a net of 129.8.

The format of the tournament is a modified alternate shot in which each member of the couples tee off and then select a tee shot and alternate hitting from there until the ball is in the cup.

The club enjoyed an almost perfect weekend for golf with no rain and moderate temperatures throughout.

Combined handicaps were calculated by adding 60 per cent of the handicap of the person with the lower handicap to 40 per cent of the handicap of the person with the higher handicap.

Prizes were given for overall low gross and net, as well as for first, second and third low gross and low net in each of the three flights.
