On the last weekend of October, Tuusula Golf Club hosted the FDG Association’s championships, bringing together members of the association and golf enthusiasts from all over Finland. The two-day competition offered unforgettable moments for both players and spectators as the Finnish autumn displayed its best in bright yet chilly weather.
Day One: Two-Person Scramble
The event kicked off on Saturday with a scramble team competition sponsored by Intersport Jumbo, where FDG members formed two-person teams. The event wasn’t just a competition; it was a celebration that combined teamwork, strategy, and humor. In the scramble format, each player takes a tee shot, and the team chooses the better ball position to continue from together.
The competition took place on the picturesque autumn course of Tuusula Golf Club, known especially for its challenging back nine, which tests even the most experienced players. The autumn conditions added their own twist to the game, as dewy greens and cool air demanded precision play.
FDG teams faced off against teams formed by other players, and the atmosphere of the competition was supportive and warm from start to finish. Intersport Jumbo rewarded the winners with great prizes, and a total of 44 teams participated in the tournament. For FDG members, the event was also an important opportunity to build community and share their passion for golf with both new and experienced players.
