SELECTING the winner of the upcoming Men’s Club Championship at Coff Harbour Golf Club is proving to be a difficult task.

When the major event tees off this Saturday, there is a strong field of contenders without a real standout as they are all currently playing off very similar handicaps.

Two-time winner Aden Louez has experience on his side but is no certainty when the other fantastic players in the field are taken into account.

Trent Jones, Cameron Pollard, Dave Newick, Logan Toms and Graham Richards are all in the hunt to win the coveted prize for the first time as are Mathew McKee, Luke Downey and Rogan Hickey.

Matt Allan, the Head Golf Professional at the Coffs Harbour Golf Club, said that whoever wins over the course of the next two weekends will need to play consistently right across the 144 holes.

“With the favourites so tightly packed this year it simply could come down to the winner being the player that makes the least mistakes,” Allan said.

The Club Championship is being played across four rounds with competition days being Saturday and Sunday over the next two weekends.
