The annual golf tournament for staff of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and councillors was held in mild and fine weather on Keili Golf Club<\/a> in mid-August. Nearly 90 staff from various council departments, as well as councillors, signed up to play and gave it their all. The tournament is a traditional stableford competition with handicap and a stroke play final for the golf champion. Competition took place on both the 18-hole Hvaleyrarvellir course and the 9-hole Sveinsskotsvellir course, and both beginners and avid fans of the sport were encouraged to take part. Nearest the pin prizes were awarded on all four par-three holes at Hvaleyrarvellir, and on the 1st and 9th holes at Sveinskot, in addition to a prize for the best course management, based on the fewest strokes.<\/p>\n

            Participation this year exceeded the brightest hopes and expectations, and this year's tournament was the best-attended one to date. Whether this indicates a growing interest in the sport of golf, or the increased skill and enthusiasm of the staff, is for others to judge. The staff golf tournament is here to stay, and a large group is already looking forward to next year's event and planning their winter training. It also helps that Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is home to one of the country's finest golf courses. <\/p>\n

            Congratulations to this year's winners and thanks to the whole group for a fantastic tournament! <\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
