Steve Gerrish from Stroud and Simon Lee from Brockworth will be cracking open the champagne after being crowned national American Golf Adventure Golf Champions at Ryder Cup venue the Belfry.

The pair took on qualifiers from all over the U.K. across 3 rounds on the Ryder Legends course before winning the matchplay final over adventure golf experts Richard Gottfried and Peter Jones from Stockport.

Gerrish said: “American Golf have put on a great event. Everyone’s been involved, families, kids, it’s nice to see, it’s been brilliant. I’d especially like to give a huge thank you to Bristol golf centre for allowing us to practice on their Pirate Bay adventure golf course.”

After the exciting final, Daniel Gathercole, Director of Marketing and Communications at American Golf said: “When we thought about what events could get more people playing the game, Adventure Golf was top of the list. So to see players from five to sixty, playing, competing and loving every minute has been a fantastic endorsement of the power of Adventure! I’ve been amazed by the standard of putting on show and am delighted that everyone has enjoyed the opportunity to play Adventure Golf at the Belfry where Ryder Cups have been won and lost.”

All of the Championship finals will be shown on Sky Sports across October and November.

The American Golf Events series is a vital part of American Golf’s drive to get more people out playing golf more often.

In its fourth year, the Championships go from strength to strength and with the quality of golf and personality on show through this year’s qualifiers and finals, golf with American Golf has a very bright future.
