Chipping along merrily with a Margate Country Club ‘legend’
The veteran golfer is an inspiration to many.
Margate Country Club’s special club matriarch Chiappini Boshoff celebrated her 90th birthday at the course last week and a squeal of joy resonated over the fairways when she parred the 14th hole.
She had hip surgery three months ago but this has not dampened this incredible sportswoman’s spirit.
She is an inspiration to many and Margate members are particularly proud of her.
