2017 CIGA President's Trophy men's winner - Daniel Fortune with Brian Esau.
More than 60 players hit the course at the North Sound Golf Club on 25 November to contest the Cayman Islands Golf Association (CIGA) President’s Trophy, as the local body marked its 25th anniversary.
The tournament presented by Cayman National Bank on Saturday was a stroke-play handicap event contested over one round of 18 holes, with the winners being determined as those with the lowest net score.
It was a diverse field as the ages of competing golfers ranged from 12 to over 70, while their handicaps ranged from +4, an almost professional standard, to 36.
