ALEXANDRIA GOLF CLUB

A good turn-out last Wednesday, in lovely weather, saw Hilton Delport dominate proceeding­s with 37 individual points, followed by Pierre Schoeman on 33 points. The Alliance was won by Hilton, Brad van der Riet, Leon Naude and Trevor Hyson, while Jan Stark won the Jackpot holes. After the forecast for rain on Saturday changed to just cloudy and cool, Owen Putzier was streaks ahead of the field with 37 points, with Dave Nicoll second on 28 points and Likhona Fina third on 26. In the Bonus Ball Alliance Owen, ChristoBos­man and Dave Nicoll prevailed, with Owen winning the Jackpot holes.

This Saturday the Club is hosting the Alexandria Methodist Church Golf Day. It will be played as a Betterball­Stableford and the cost will be R200. This will include a halfway house and a light meal after golf. Bookings can be made with Hanli on 046-6530207. The Bokke take on the All Blacks at 5pm that day, so it should lead to a festive day.
