With their victory, both clubs qualified for the European Club Trophy.
This year’s league was particularly interesting thanks to the performance of some of the best Croatian players and national team members and their outstanding results. Leo Zurovac, who finished the sixth round with an excellent score of -6, as well as Ivan Ninković with -5, stood out.
The Croatian Golf League is further attractive because the results of the best players are counted towards the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) in both men’s and women’s competitions, which contributes not only to their personal ranking, but also to the overall rating of Croatian golf on the world stage.
The Second Men’s League serves as a qualifying competition for entry into the First Men’s League. Although the goal is promotion to a higher rank, the Second League competition is valuable to many clubs because of the exciting competitions and the opportunity for unity among the players and strengthening the competitive spirit of the club.
This year, due to the withdrawal of GK Maksimir and GK Imotski at the beginning of the season, four places were opened for placement in the First League instead of the usual two. The following qualified with their results:
GK Zagreb 1929
GK Split II
GLK Zagreb II
GK Savudrija
The following were relegated from the First League:
GK Pula
GK Albatros II
After the award ceremony, the Croatian Golf Association also organized the official distribution of equipment and jerseys to the Croatian national team members in the men’s, women’s and junior competitions, including symbolic gifts usually exchanged at international competitions. All equipment and jerseys are in accordance with the new visual identity of the Croatian Golf Association.
