Umdoni Golf Course was the venue for the last game of the year for the Village Eagles and 64 Eagles were in attendance.

The golf course was in immaculate condition, and this is reflected in the high scores attained.  As usual the rough was long and this reminds you to play on the short stuff which many did as the lost ball count was on 77.

A special thanks to the staff of Umdoni Park for providing us with the privilege of competing at Umdoni. Another special thanks to the lady in the pro shop for registering the golfers which enabled us to get everybody off on time.

Best Lady was Stella Scott on 46 individual points and Patrick Sheehan took the men’s prize on 44 points. To confirm the opening statement, the winners on the day were Jeremy Boyd, Keith Findlay, Ian Mackenzie and Steffi Podmore on an alliance score of 103 points. The second placed team of Stella Scott, Kas van der Merwe, Sarel Swart and Clive Melville scored 102.  The longest day and collecting the Stones Trophy was Harry Podmore, Barrie Ainslie, Ken McKenzie and Ghost on 80 points.

The results were calculated by Stella Scott, Kas van der Merwe, Clive Melville and Sarel Swart.

After the presentation of the results by Dave Geils in the evening and a message from our chairman who is in Australia, we had an entertaining fines session by the master himself Derek Hodge, and I am sure all present were more than happy to pay their fine/s. We then proceeded to enjoy our Christmas dinner party provided by the Umdoni Golf Club, the food was excellent, the live entertainment by ‘Just Magic’ provided a lot of great tunes, and we enjoyed some singing and dancing into the night. On behalf of the committee, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year.

Our next game will be held at Umkomaas Golf Club on January 3. See you all there.
