A day of sport, fun and fellowship
The golf competition was played as a ‘Combined Stableford’ event, and this format of the game requires both players to score consistently well for a good result
The MSC Agencies / Harvey World Travel Sports Day was held at the Country Club on Saturday.
A full field of golfers and a number of bowlers took part in this well organised and sponsored day of sport, fun and fellowship, topped off by a superb dinner and fund-raising auction. Thanks to Magda, Cassidy, Belinda and all the staff of MSC Agencies and Harvey World Travel for their excellent arrangements, fine array of prizes, and a truly successful sport & fun day at the club.
The golf competition was played as a ‘Combined Stableford’ event, and this format of the game requires both players to score consistently well for a good result. Winners of the competition with an excellent score of 78 points were Carla Craffert and Gerhard van der Westhuizen. The second place count-out on 76 points was won by Gerald Boardman and Vernon Naidoo from Bransby Niemach and Stephen van Tonder. Fourth place went to Leon Petersen and Patrick Pieterse with 74 points. ‘Nearest the Pin’ winners were Trevor Jacobs, Charles Elworthy, Patrick Pieterse and Wynand Wessels. Jane MacKenzie won the ‘Longest Drive’ and Gill Hoffman the ‘Longest Putt’. Five golfers carded two-clubs, but mention must be made of Patrick Pieterse who managed to score three two-clubs in the round. The ‘Longest Walk’ prize went to Belinda Meyer and Adeline Jacobs.
The bowls competition was played as a pairs event and the winners were Gavin Livingston and Jane Duncan, with Marx Zaayman and Jill Holding in second place.
The fund-raising auction that followed prize-giving was extremely well supported and raised a substantial amount to be donated to a local charity. Well done to all!
The 10th round of the Mortimer Toyota League was played on Sunday morning, but only eight teams participated to accommodate our Indian golfers who were celebrating Diwali over the weekend.
This means that the results after this round will only be available after the remaining four teams complete their matches this coming weekend.
The golf Business League, sponsored by Ferobrake, gets underway today (Thursday, November 7).
This is a very popular nine-hole competition over a number of weeks and, with the evening bring ‘n braai, is great for fellowship.
This Saturday is a Club Multi-Sponsored Individual Stableford competition and Saturday is the November Monthly Mug.
Sunday is the LCC Mixed Trips, sponsored by Ntokozweni Development, and we look forward to a full bowling green for this popular bowls event.
The Friday evening ‘100 Club’ draw was won by Dr Mags Magan who was present to collect his winnings, so this Friday’s draw reverts to one-and-a-half grand.
