UGC ladies take on SA Amateur Champs

Umkomaas Golf Club is proud of its two Silver Division ladies, Sabiha Baucus and Natalie Singer, who have travelled up to Gauteng to compete in the 2020 SA Amateur Championships.

History was made this year as it’s the first time that the ladies and men’s SA Champs take place at the same time, on the same courses.

Competitions take place on both the east and west courses at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington, which promises to be a tough challenge.
