The defending Swedish and European champion Uppsala BGK opened the Elitserien season 2008 with a narrow victory over BGK Jönköping in second place and Södertälje BGK in third place.

Tantogården BGK was left fourth in the match points, despite playing the second best total score of the weekend at the eternite course of Kungälv, Sweden.

The best player of the competition was Gustav Björnberg of Tantogården BGK (average score 20.71), followed by Anders Olsson and Carl-Johan Ryner of Uppsala BGK.

Sweden does not have separate minigolf leagues for men and women at the moment. Two women played in this opening weekend of Elitserien 2008: Charlotte Ryner for Uppsala BGK, and Sandra Weaver for BGK Jönköping.

In a public vote at Swedish minigolf forum bangolfsnack.se, earlier this month, teams were ranked nearly perfectly in the same order as they played in the first weekend of the season. Results of the vote “Who will win Elitserien 2008?”:
