Last Saturday, June 13 the annual Sanlam Cancer Challenge took place with a good field participating. Richard Ford, representing Sanlam, as well as Ruan vd Berg and Andrew Bainborough were welcomed. The competition was divided into three divisions.

Winner of the A Division was Phiwe Mabaso on a count out from Wilfie Laatz both on 34 points. Third with 33 points was Luke Schriever. The B Division winner was Carlo Piagesti also on a 38 point count out from second placed Deejay Ramdhav. Lional Laatz was in third place on 36 points.

Another count out was required in the C Division to give Harry Koovarjee the winning spot on 39 points from Viren Omardath. Third place went to Moekie Ghasitha on 38 points. Carlo was closest to the pins on numbers three and 16 greens and the only two club of the day was on number 12 by Philani Mabaso who kindly donated his winnings to Sanlam.

Various items were also auctioned, which together with the golfers contribution amounted to an amount of R6 000 towards the fight against cancer. A big thank you to all the golfers who made this possible! There will be a competition today, Wednesday, June 17 and on Saturday, June 20 will be a Four Ball Alliance comp with two scores to count and scrambled drive.

This comp is kindly sponsored by Gerry’s Motors and Estcourt Wagon Works. All golfers are requested to support our sponsors by entering this comp as well as on Saturday, June 27 when Midlands Beer Distributors will be sponsoring a BBBS comp entitled “The Milestone,” which has a rather interesting scoring format.
