On May 25th-May 27th the 1st tournament of the Eimskip Series took place at Golf Club Su\u00f0urnes (GS) in Keflav\u00edk. \u00a0On the Eimskip Series which is a Series of 6 tournaments organized by the Icelandic Golf Association participants get points according to their outcome in each tourment, most 1500 points for winning a tournament. \u00a0Two of those tournaments are the Icelandic Championship in Stroke Play and the Icelandic Championship in Match Play. Each tournament is a 54 hole tournament.<\/p>\n

In the Eimskip Series only Iceland\u00b4s best participate i.e. those with the lowest handicap.<\/p>\n

This year, there was a delay due to wind on the first day and scores rather high due to the windy conditions. In the end this 1st tournament of the Eimskip series was shortened to a 36 hole tournament. Many participants had just returned from College Golf in the States or from tournaments in Europe and were getting used to the harsh Icelandic weather and slow greens. Scores were rather high.<\/p>\n

The winners in this 1st tournament of 6 in the Eimskip series were our professional golfer\u00a0Birgir Leifur Haf\u00fe\u00f3rsson<\/strong> and \u00d3laf\u00eda \u00de\u00f3runn Kristinsd\u00f3ttir<\/strong>, who a.o. plays golf with the Wake Forest golfteam in North Carolina.<\/p>\n
