A big thank you to all the members who sponsored the individual hole challenges.

Sunshine, a shotgun start and 93 golfers made this year's Captains' Day a memorable one. The day, which is a Major Board Competition, took place on Saturday 25 July.

Apart from the golf, there were numerous other fun activities happening on the day, including a BBQ by the 15th tee box area serving traditional South African ‘Boerewors Rolls’ and loads of liquid refreshments being available at various locations on the course.

As we have become used to in the recent past, the golf course was presented in great condition despite the difficult dry and hot weather conditions we experienced during the summer.

To start the prize giving on the day there was a presentation to Moira who decided to retire on the 1st of August after managing the halfway house for 16 years where she ensured we were all well fed and hydrated during our rounds of golf.

Overall, it was a fantastic day with some great golf being played and loads of fun being had by everyone who participated. Most importantly, a large amount of funds was raised for the captain’s charity, Princess Alice Hospice, made possible by the very generous donations from members of the club on the day.

The results on the day were as follows:

2nd place: Laurence Charter – 40 points

3rd place: Eddie Later – 39 points

4th place: Sean Thomson – 39 points

This all culminated in the now traditional shoot out from the veranda to the 18th green of which the overall winner was Jake Rowe.

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone that participated and to those who worked so hard in the background and behind the scenes to make the day the success that it was.
