Christian Hamilton said, "At the same time our Sandhurst Members will be playing in their weekly midweek Thursday competition, our Sandhurst / China Challenge will take 26 pre-registered Sandhurst Club members playing at Sandhurst Club and our 26 members playing the Olazabal Course and create a live competition between the two venues.""The technology with the competition management systems allows us to enter scores in China and appear live in the Clubhouse leader boards at Sandhurst some 12,113kms away simultaneously as our Sandhurst members enter their scores."
Mr Hamilton said the winning team with the highest combined Stableford score will win the Sandhurst China Challenge Cup. A trophy that will remain at Sandhurst for future trips to play for.
