As the excitement of the Ryder Cup subsides, Provo Golf Club is bracing itself for another two days of high drama. This weekend sees the Turks and Caicos Islands’ best golfers gather to do battle for the honour of being crowned club champion. And if previous tournaments are anything to go by, it promises to be a keenly contested affair, with more than 45 members taking part. “The big events are coming thick and fast, and this weekend should be fascinating,” said Director of golf Dave Douglas. “What is nice about the club championship is that it takes handicaps into account, and so it is so hard to predict where the winner will come from.” Along with the Ryder Cup, the Turks and Caicos Amateur, the President’s Championship and the Rizzoli tournament, this is one of the club’s biggest events of the year. The 36-hole championship will feature six men’s flights and three women’s, with competitors teeing off between 8.30 a.m.-11 a.m. on both Nov. 19 and Nov. 20. Defending the men’s title will be Jumphol Srinark, who shot a two over par 146 over 36 holes last year, while Chris Pretorius (170) will be out to regain the ladies crown. “Jumphol and Chris are expected to do well again, but the format means high handicappers can really compete with the lower handicappers,” Douglas said. “That makes for exciting golf, and I’d urge anyone interested to come down, watch the action and enjoy our fantastic facilities.”
