Debbie on a long weekend golf charge

One of Dundee’s most enthusiastic lady golfers, Debbie Catlett, was the eventual individual winner of The Battery Centre tournament played over the long weekend at Dundee Country Club.

Debbie had an exceptional round of 42 points on Friday and followed that up on Saturday by playing to her handicap and scoring a further 36 points to give her an overall total of 78 individual stableford points.

Club Captain, Marc Bradbury, was the runner-up for the second consecutive year, scoring two identical rounds of 38 points to finish with 76 points for the two days. The third position was determined by a count out as four players finished the two rounds on a total of 75 points.

Sifiso Kunene won the count out to finish third followed by Sydney Zulu, Jo Khumalo and Henk Booysen. Friday’s Multiplication Stableford competition was won by the father and daughter pairing of Danie and Sonel Von Mollendorff on 82 points only just managing to count out the “The Streakletts”, Rob and Debbie as they also scored 82 points.

The novelty prizes for nearest the pin went to D Von Mollendorff on hole no. 4, SJ Zulu on the 8th hole, W Maritz on the 12th hole and S Sithole on the 16th.
The longest drive on the 15th hole was won by D Von Mollendorff for the men and his daughter, Sonel, won the ladies prize.

Saturday’s Combined Stableford competition was also a closely contested affair which saw John Zulu playing as a pivot for both L Govender and G Potgieter, ended up taking first and second position when scoring 77 and 76 points respectively.

There were once again novelty prizes up for grabs on the par 3’s and these went to, L Govender on the 4th, G Robson on the 8th, SJ Zulu on the 12th and C Mkhwanazi on the 16th hole.

The longest drive was on the 10th hole and Jo Khumalo won the men’s prize and, not to be out done by her elder sister, Lindi Von Mollendorff won the ladies prize. The Club and all the golfers who competed over the weekend would once again like to extend their thanks and appreciation to Richard Catlett and Battery Centre for an enjoyable weekend of golf.
