Skukuza Golf Club once again played host to the Joke of the Lowveld competition, with golfers flocking from around the country to the world’s wildest golf course for a week of golfing fun.
The Joke of the Lowveld Tournament was launched at Skukuza Golf Club for the first time in 1979, as their own version of Mbombela Golf Club’s Jock of the Bushveld tournament.
It’s been an important feature of the golf club’s annual calendar since then, attracting many golfers to the course over the years.
This year’s competition was special in that it marked the first time it would be held since Skukuza Golf Club underwent its major renovations in 2023. It was held over four days, from May 4 and 7, and featured morning and afternoon winners on each day.
There was, however, an overall winner crowned on the final day. The winner of the 2024 Joke of the Lowveld Tournament was Nardus Visser who took home the crown with 78 points to his name.
The winners for each day were:
• Wednesday May 4
Morning: Neels Venter
Afternoon: Louwrens Labuschagne
• Thursday May 5
Morning: Morne van Berg
Afternoon: Nardus Visser
• Friday May 6
Morning: Riekus De Jager
Afternoon: Gerrit Meyer & Gavin Goldman
• Saturday 7 May
