Playing in pleasant conditions, 12 players took part in a Port Alfred Mixed Competitio­n.

Winning the competitio­n with a score of 89 points were Len Bohnen, Rick Hill, Guy Cash and Martyn Weaver, who took home vouchers from Spur.

The runners-up were Barrie Brady, Fanie Smit, Brian Reid and Margie Reid, on 84 points.

Taking the longest walk with 80 points were Glynnis Renecle, Derek Sinclair, Tim Shanks and Greg Shanks.

Margie Reid ’ s nett 67 was the best of the day and won a voucher from Skippers Catch.

Derek Sinclair was nearest the pin on the 8th and Fanie Smit had the only two-club of the morning and won a Fishaways voucher.

Overcast skies with warm temperatur­es as the morning broke saw 48 players drawn in twelve 4-balls to play a Stableford Alliance 2-scores-to-count with the Portuguese twist.

Peter Reed, Russell Warren, Rick Hill and Dave Curran made light of conditions to post 90 points in first place.

Last covey into the clubhouse, John Ralph, Quentin Hogge, Fanie Smit and HeinBarnar­d finished in second place on 88 points.

Peter Sinclair, Peter Longhurst, Jan Immelman and an early retiring Derick van Harmelen claimed the Hamer en Sukkel with 75 points.

Andy Stembridge birdied the par three 6th to lay early claim to the 2-club pool but Russell Warren ensured that his covey took all the monetary spoils available on the day with his 2club on the 13th.

Individual noteworthy scores were in short supply with John Muggeridge and Quentin Hogge, the only players worth a mention, both shooting nett 70s as individual rounds of the day.

Friday January 15

A still, warm morning without a breath of wind initially before a light easterly made its appearance, saw 36 players drawn in nine 4-balls to play in a Stableford Alliance 2-scores-tocount competitio­n.

Running out comfortabl­e winners on 90 points were Mark Warren, Sheena Warren, Nick Oosthuizen and Arnie Schultz slightly ahead of the 88 points realised by Len Bohnen, Fanie Smit, Bob Shaw and Maureen McGarvie who finished in second position.

Jenny Ralph, Andrew White, John Abbott and Kevin Maree failed to reach expectatio­ns or their hidden potential as the heat exerted its influence and they melted home on 78 points to claim the Hamer en Sukkel.

Birdies on the par threes were in short supply and though Len Bohnen birdied the 8th, the 2-club pool was scooped by Nick Oosthuizen with his birdie on the 6th to ensure his covey took all the financial rewards available.

Good individual rounds were enjoyed by Arnie Schultz and Yvonne Hill, both with nett 70s; Len Bohnen and Rick Hill both with nett 69s; and Nick Oosthuizen with a nett 68.

Nick also had the best individual gross of the morning with a 78, to complete a satisfying round.
