Two perfect weather days and a wonderfully conditioned golf course were an excellent setting for the 2017 Manakiki Course Championship.
David Sotka of Chardon completed a wire to wire win, facing down several strong challengers in a two shot victory.
Ten players earned their way into the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship, to be played right here at Manakiki August 11 – 13th.
