Three down, seven to go for the Lowvelder Golf Challenge

The third edition of the monthly Lowvelder Golf Challenge was held at Mbombela Golf Club on Wednesday April 17 with great success. A great time was had, and a brand-new winner was added to the list of names to have won the competition so far.

Yet another successful Lowvelder Golf Challenge was hosted at Mbombela Golf Club on Wednesday April 17, with a new winner crowned after another great day of golf.

The greens at Mbombela were full of enthusiastic golfers, looking to throw their hat into the ring among the already existing challengers in the Lowvelder Golf Challenge.

A series of 10 monthly golf days, the Lowvelder challenge kicked off with the first edition in February, and will be held every month until the final in November.

Competition days are played in the individual Stableford format, which evens the playing field significantly as players need to rack up points instead of aiming to shoot the lowest score possible.

It also makes things a bit easier for the higher handicap golfers to compete. Each golfer’s five best rounds will be counted to determine the overall winner.

Hosted by Lowvelder, the golf days are made possible through sponsor partnerships with Octopi Smart Solutions and Du Toit-Smuts & Partners Attorneys. Their incredible contributions help to make every golf day simply unforgettable for everyone taking part.

They were of course back on board for the third edition last week, which added yet another new winner to the growing list of golfers to emerge victorious on the Lowvelder Golf Challenge days.

Garth Snyman added his name to the list by scoring a total of 43 points over his 18 holes. Franchoa Gilomee placed second with 40 points, while Reno Kruger was third with 39 points. The next and fourth edition of the Lowvelder Golf Challenge will take place on Wednesday May 15.
