GOLF WEEKLY
Alexandria Golf Club
Last Wednesday saw a good turnout playing an individual stableford and alliance, 2 to count, competition. Willie Groenewald once again put in a tidy round to win on 35 points from Dave Nicoll and Likhona Fina on 34 points.
The Jackpot was won by Rendo Nell. The 4-ball of Dan Swart, Likhona Fina, Owen Putzier and Trevor Hyson came up trumps on 79 points, with Willie Groenewald, Dave Woods and Dave Nicoll coming in with 77 points.
Saturday saw a good field support the Sunshine Coast Hospice Golf Day in windy, cool conditions. Hospice is a wonderful organisation doing extraordinary work and they deserve every support.
Played as an individual stableford, Timothy
Mahlangu from the East London Golf Club shot a nett 74 to score a whopping 45 points off an 11 handicap to win the day. Second was Pete Andrew on 35 points and third Andre Macdonald on 34. Closest to the pin on the 3rd went to Jan Engelbrecht and on the 8th to Albie Neeley. The men’s longest drive was won by Mike February and the women’s drive by Santjie Nell.
The monthly “Joker Draw” was conducted on Saturday evening, with Dave Woods winning the R 500 consolation prize when his turned card did not reveal the elusive joker!
