Japan Society Golf Tournament 2022 - Winners and Pictures

Japan Society Golf Tournament 2022 - Winners and Pictures

Congratulations to Nick Packer for his victory in the annual Japan Society Golf Tournament for the Asprey and Garrard Plate. This year's tournament was held on 28 June at Essendon Country Club on the par 73 New Course, which opened in 1992 and stretches over 6,700 yards. The New Course was inspired by Japanese design with two greens on 16 of the holes, one suited for summer playing conditions and the other for winter.

The players enjoyed a wonderful summer day, with perfect golfing weather, sunny but with a cooling breeze.
 
Winners:
  1. Nick Packer
