The 2019 Southbroom Amateur Classic was once again a wonderful golf tournament.
A big thanks were extended to Barry Elliot and Hibiscus Brokers for their on going sponsorship.
Barry and his guests put up a very good performance, with Red Shuttleworth and Chris Naidoo finishing in eighth place, counting out Richard Mills and Mike Anthony.

There were 144 men enjoying a great week of golf in a combination of really easy and really tough conditions.
In the end, it was a very good win for Fox brothers, Greg and Andrew (son of Dave and Solange), who made 43 points on the last day in the worst conditions.
They finished on 171 points, three ahead of past champions Robbie and Melchior Botha, who are always competitive, especially in windy conditions coming from Mossel Bay.
Last year’s champions Ig Erasmus and Rudie Venter ended up third with 164 points, closely followed by a number of teams, so it did go down to the wire.
