South Coast golfers make merry as lockdown is eased

Golfers have made the most of some beautiful winter weather to get back out on the golf course after a very, very long break forced by the lockdown.

For some the break seemed to make no difference with Zuanru Coetzee and Santhos Baskali both recording a hole-in-one at Port Shepstone Country Club.

Zuanru enjoyed his outing back onto the golf course and celebrated with an ace at the 17th, despite 79 days off.

Santhos, Sheppie’s captain, aced the 5th hole.

There was some decent scoring at Southbroom Golf Club last Saturday, with a two scores to count alliance won by Mario Santos, Werner Duggan, Urs Diethelm and Andy Bossard on 85 points.

Runners-up on 84 points were Norman Jeffery, Peter Kupisiewicz, Rob Meydell and Andrew Leckie. In third place on 83 points were Olliver Ransome, Chris Miller, Mike Lig and Paul Lawson.

The previous Wednesday’s competition was won on 46 points by Dave Neilson and Peter Kupisiewicz. There was a five-way tie for second place on 43 points, shared by André Ollewagen and Craig Treherne, Lynn Blackstock and Janet Humphrey, Allyson Thomas and Jill Webster, Chris Ledden and Geoff Skelton, as well as Clive Miller and Malcolm Greenland.
