I had the pleasure of handing out a 5-year tie to our committee member / photographer Craig Davidson keep up the great work Craig . We had a total of 64 players 4 of which where guests 1 prospective member Sizwe Khumalo and 1 southern natal nomad Chris Brooks I think everyone that a great day the golf Couse was in fantastic condition all be it got a bit chilly in the afternoon and I would like to thank the green keeper who is all so a nomad and committee member Mark ( Wobbly ) Ward Able .
