Aphrodite Hills May Open Tournament Results

The Aphrodite Hills Golf Team hosted the May Open Golf Tournament on Saturday 11th May. A full field of 76 players battled it out over the 18 holes, playing in a stableford format. This month’s winner was Marinos Stefanou. 

A relatively new golfer, having only played golf for a little over one year and a new Off-Peak Member at Aphrodite Hills… but Marinos is no slouch when it comes to fitness and co-ordination. Marinos is a highly qualified martial arts trainer and he showed his potential with a magnificent 42 points! Well done Marinos and we hope this is the first of many trophies!
