Champion Tony takes the double!
Swish-sponsored Tony Lloyd
(AKA @shortarmgolfer) took
the double by winning both the
European and French Opens.
Previously, Tony’s best placing
had been 5th in any European
Disabled Golf Association tour
and he wasn’t expecting to win
category 2 in the AA St. Omer,
Open de France an EDGA
PREMIER Series tournament
– but he did by an amazing 12
shots - quickly followed by his
winning the European title just
two weeks later.

“I knew I’d played well at
the French Open,” said double
Champion Tony who is sponsored
by Swish Window and Doors
Systems. “But I didn’t realise that
I’d won until after the final hole.
“It was a tough course. Last
time I played it spanked me so to
go back and get some redemption
was brilliant!On the final day
my opponent was my friend,
Miroslav Lidinsky. He ended up
second and it felt good standing
on the podium with him.”
Jon Ski nner, joint MD of Swish

Window and Door Systems,
added: “This is a brilliant
achievement. The whole team
follow his progress and this is a
superb result.”
