2008 Events at Denver Golf Club

We have listed on these page some of the events that we have held in 2008, so that you can get an idea of the range of events that we put on at Denver.

"Hawthorn Open" Competition - 2008

This is a knock-out competition played during 2008 for a new trophy. All players play from scratch (i.e. no handicap) in matchplay format. The first round matches will need to be played by 20th January 2008, so please register your name and contact details with us at Reception before 5th January 2008.

It is planned that the second round matches should be completed by 3rd February 2008, so that there will be two weeks available in which to play each round. As the competition is a knock-out, we will not know when the final round will be, as that is dependent on the number of competitors who start.
