The North West Primary Schools’ Golf boys’ team led all the strong provinces from day one of the SA inter-provincials. Unfortunately, with 15 minutes to go, Gauteng North overtook them by a narrow margin, forcing them to finish in second place. Central Gauteng was third and Ekurhuleni, fourth.
The Pecanwood golfer, Shivania Kalimuthu, was the overall girls’ winner after a fine performance.
The team consisted of Rorisang Nkosi (Pecanwood College); Janko van der Merwe (GHS); Jordan Goosen (Elandskraal); Leonard Bevan (Burhmannsdrif); Rialdo de Bruyn, Tiaan Wolfaardt (Dagbreek); Luan Vermeulen, Heinrich Janse van Vuuren (Saamtrek); Dandré de Villiers, Pedrie Snyman, Wian van Rensburg (Sannieshof) and Janré Brink (Vastrap).

Christiaan Burke, Charles Pieterse (both Potchefstroom); Nash de Klerk, Oliver Goldhill, Rorisang Nkosi (all Pecanwood); André van Dyk, Jaco Anderson (both Klerksdorp) and Rigardt Albertse (Rustenburg). Leon Bevan managed the team.
