Team BFKA clinches alliance league trophy
Perhaps their strategy to incorporate a different fourth each month paid off?
DESPITE the bucketing rain all morning, the golfing gods saw fit to provide the perfect rain-free window between 12pm and 4pm for the field to get the last instalment of the 2019 Alliance League completed.
Those who opted not to play, given the threat of rain, missed out on a perfectly still day, one of the best we’ve had in weeks.

Scores were, as to be expected with heavy conditions, on the lower side, but the Umkomaasters managed to win the November round with 87 points, with nearest rivals ‘3 Hacks and a Gill’ counting out three others on 80 points.
Nearest the pin prizes were donated by Derek Airey and were claimed by Dave Castleman (4th), Barrie Taylor (9th and 13th) and Natalie Singer (17th).
The ultimate prize, for the most successful team all year was awarded to the BFKA team of Bruce Sutcliffe, Francois Rossouw, Kuben Naidoo and ‘AN Other’.
Perhaps their strategy to incorporate a different fourth each month paid off? Well done, gents.
The ever-consistent Umkomaaster Team (Barry Taylor, Nelson Moonsamy, Jacques Kirstein and Saga Reddy) came second, followed closely by the Southern Lights (Wally Kent, Neil de Villiers, Ken Koster and Derek Airey).
Conditions last Wednesday were sublime as the scores reflect, with 25 players competing the Individual Stableford.
First place went to Francois Rossouw on 41 points, by one from Warren Taylor.
Third place went to Willy Boucher on 38 points.
The ladies section hosted annual Christmas Alliance is scheduled for Saturday, December 14 and everyone is welcome.
Any combination (men/women) team can compete in the fourball alliance format.
There are fantastic prizes, snacks and live music after prize-giving so it promises to be festive.
