Shafts know how to ‘par-tee’

Fun, friendship and a dash of competition, the Shafts annual mini golf day was a hit at Uvongo River Resort.

One of the highlights on the Shafts’ (Self Help Association for the Seniors) calendar is the annual mini golf championships.

Players tackled the tricky, but ever so pretty, course at Uvongo River Resort.

Joan D’Arcy (61 pts) dethroned reigning champ Barrie Willis by a single shot to claim victory.

However, for Shafts, fun is always first and foremost on their minds, not winning or losing.

Shafts’ chairperson Colleen Haggard said what fun was had at the resort where the management team led by Carien and Hannes Dippenaar literally rolled out the ‘green’ carpet to make Shafts welcome.

The association holds a monthly braai at the Uvongo Tennis Club on the last Sunday of the month.
