Longest Week on 34: Peter Rinaldi Overall winner of the Syd Hart-Davis Cup: 49 – Don Howarth Runner-up: 49 – Dudley Kieser Ladies’ Results September 27: A particularly cold and gusty wind was already blowing by the time 29 members of the ladies’ section teed off in a threeball stableford alliance for the Captain’s Prize, with two scores to count.
Wendy Counihan, Lizzie Lambrechts and Joy Altson teamed up to card 82 points and win the afternoon’s proceedings.
Ronel Hough, Ingrid Griffiths and Bettine Hattingh, and Jean Austin, Lillian Neave and Lynette Harbrecht came second and third on 77 and 76 points respectively.
Yvonne Hill and Harbrecht were the winners of the longest drive competitions on the eighth in the low and high handicap sections respectively.
Hill holed the only two-club of the afternoon (eighth).
Counihan was closest to the pin on Top Carpets’ sixth, Glynnis Renecle on the eighth, Lambrechts on Wimpy’s 11th and Austin “nearest-for-two” on Camelot Spa’s 13th. The competition on October 11 will be an individual stableford sponsored by Viv Jordan. FRESH STOP PORT ALFRED MIXED October 1: Once again, cold westerlies pervaded the course, keeping players well wrapped up.
A total of 21 players were drawn into three mixed threeballs and four mixed fourballs, to play the usual twoto-count stableford alliance.
The “bachelor” team of Tim and Greg Shanks along with Eric Segers and Andy Manson coped best with the conditions and carded 90 points to win the competition.
Bridget McNellis, Sandy and Paul Fryer came home second, one point in arrears with 89.
Mo Marsay, Glynnis Renecle and Terry Harris had a poorer than average day, scoring just 80 points, ending with the much to be avoided receipt of the sponsor’s energy boosting drinks.
Sonia Reynolds was closest to the pin on the eighth to win a bottle of wine. She went on to birdie the hole.
Other two-clubs were sunk by Mike Brown (eighth) and Bryan Robinson (11th).
Shanks’s 66 was the best nett round of the day followed by Brown and McNellis, both on 68. KGB RESULTS Tuesday September 27: Stiff and cold winds swept the course on Tuesday morning, but failed to deter 30 players from entering the usual two-to-count stableford alliance.
The field was drawn into six four-balls and two threeballs.
In an unprecedented KGB situation, the covey scoring the most points was disqualified due to two of its members playing off the forward tees while being handicapped off the mens’ normal white tees. Thus the winners of the morning’s play were Neil Loundar, Matt Chadwick and James Lobban with 87 + 5 = 92 points.
They were just one point to the good of runners-up Tommy Meyer, Chris Niebieszczanski, Wilton Adcock and Cecil Grobelaar.
The Hamer en Sukkel went to Barrie B Brady, Hugh Holmes, Graham Findlay and Len Bohnen, after the latter two were found to be suffering from the unique malady of blue and white colour blindness.
John Crandon holed the only two-club of the morning (eighth).
The day's best net rounds were shot by Wilton Adcock (66), Andy Manson (67), Matt Chadwick and Lobban (69). Friday September 30: The day saw 36 players turned out to be drawn into nine four-balls to play a two-to-count stableford “â la Portuguese” with a bonus point available on any hole, where three net birdies were recorded.
(1) Jan Immelman, Tommy Meyer, Gerald Churchley and Mike Brown and (2) – Mark Warren, Barrie B Brady, Cliff Roberts (aka Cliff Richard) and Hugh Holmes both carded 93 points to become joint winners of the morning’s proceedings.
At the other end of the points list, Mick Rushmere, Richard Laing, Martin Lambrechts and Heinz Czepluch could only muster 77 points, thus having the indignity of sharing the 19th hole with the infamous Hamer en Sukkel trophy.
Gerald and Richard Farndell both birdied the eighth, the only two-clubs of the morning.
Both Lobban and Gerald Churchley shot superb nett 64s and Hugh Holmes (68), Barrie Brady and Mark Warren (69) would have been pleased with their contributions to their covies.
