The KGC’s Andries Kori fired a two under par gross 70 to take the final round of the Diamond Sub Union strokeplay series played at the Hartswater Golf Cub on Saturday. Riaan Coetzee from Hartswater and Anton Boyce from Jan Kempdorp were second and third, each a shot back on gross 71.
Kimberley’s Stiaan Hugo, winner of the full strokeplay series, was announced player of the year. The Diamond Sub Union Team was also announced and included KGC Members Stiaan Hugo, Hermus Venter, Gareth Murray and Pieter Botes as well as Piet Langveld and Koos van Niekerk from Douglas, Riaan Coetzee from Hartswater and Anton Boyce from Jan Kempdorp. Teams from all four sub unions will now compete at the Sishen Golf Club. AP Botes from Hartswater will Captain the Diamond Sub Union side.

SATURDAY 22 AUGUST 2015 KGC
Three events were run concurrently at the KGC on Saturday. The main competition, the Annual SPCA Golf Fundraiser was an IPS in which the extraordinary value of the prizes was almost matched by the extraordinary winning scores, nine players recording 40 points or more. Ultimately it was Morne Ebersohn who was first his 44 points comfortably clear of the field after a personal best gross 81 off his seventeen handicap. This included a two over par 38 on the inward nine. Not only did he win an office chair, HNA also presented him with a brand new handicap. A count out on 42 points saw Jasper Kroep second and Jaco Janse third. Four prize winners followed on 41 points – Neville Alexander, PJ Gerber, Alistair McKenzie and Sandra Nel – deemed fourth to seventh respectively.
In the Ladies Bogey competition Susan Alexander was first on +2, Susan Ferreira was second on +1 and Noreen Anne Crozier was third on 0.
In the Senior Society outing Gavin Schafer and Wedge Crozier returned a winning 47 betterball points. Attie van Niekerk and Dave Wilson were second on 45 points in a count out from Lennie Allen and Willie Uys.

FRIDAY 21 AUGUST 2015 SUN FLAMINGO NINER
Top scores marked the Sun Flamingo Niner Friday evening. 22 points was the leading score.  And it was Brian Daniels, who, coupled with a tied count out and a lucky draw, claimed the first prize. Losing that draw, in second place, was Mali Manana. The remaining prize winners all returned 21 points – Parks Mashaboa, Bonolo Modise and Peter Salo.

FRIDAY 21 AUGUST 2015 CTCS SNOWBALL DRAW
Brian Daniels went one further Friday night when his number came up in the CTCS draw to claim R1 700.

THURSDAY 20 AUGUST 2015 KWV POWERPLAY NINER
Ant Crozier produced a big six at the par three 14th and a total of 24 points to win the KWV Powerplay Niner on Thursday. Deuce Leburu was second on 23 points after a big six at the par four 15th. Kat Swanewpoel was third on 21 points, no powerplay required.
Thuso Dichaba and Nic Ross also added a big six ticket each to the Roodeberg and Rump draw.


WEDNESDAY 19 AUGUST 2015 DARSHA INSURANCE BROKERS IPS
Harry Welham underlined his current form in posting 41 individual stableford points to win the Darsha Insurance Brokers Monthly Competition on Wednesday. Wide awake to this the ever present HNA system has snapped three shots off his handicap in reasonably quick succession. Such a score was needed, however, as no less than four players followed on 40 points. The count out deemed Wikus Kok second and OJ Maimane third. First reserve was Tenderson Manyetsa and second reserve was Frans Smith.

COMING UP THIS WEEK
This week the KGC offers the Tuesday Cleveland Golf sponsored Super Six Tournament, the Annabell’s BBS on Wednesday and the Under 23 Spur Challenge and the KWV Powerplay Niner on Thursday.

Weekly Newsletter 4 - 11 August 2015

Five separate events Friday through to Monday generated some 450 rounds of golf and a high energy feel at the KGC for the long weekend.

Top billing went to the very first NCGU Senior Open, a stroke play tournament over 36 holes that attracted a remarkable response from many of the top ranked Senior golfers throughout the RSA who were no doubt also encouraged by the fact that the results counted towards the national rankings. Taking the honours was Duncan Neill from Germiston Golf Club. He posted two successive 70s to finish on a four under par gross 140, eight shots clear of the field. Gorden Wessels from Wingate Golf Club was second on 148. Three players followed on 150 this included two players from the NCGU – Frans Smith from Kimberley Golf Club and AP Botes from Hartswater Golf Club – as well as Ramon Rahme of Glendower Golf Club. The overall success of the tournament was underlined by the many favourable comments as well as the commitments to return received from the visiting golfers.

The weekend commenced Friday evening with the Sun Flamingo Niner in which Flexx Rantoa posted the winning score, 22 points. Fred Wyngaardt was the runner up on 21 points with Adrian McLaren third on 19 points. Cedric van der Ross was fourth on 18 points in a count out from Donald Whitebooi.

The Saturday morning IPS saw JP van Rooyen first on 39 points. Dries Mostert was second on 38 points with Yusuf Kana third on 37 points.

Sunday had the return match between the Free Sate and the NC Senior Societies for the Blacklaws Cup. And it was a rear occasion for the home side in which they never lost a match, drawing two and winning seven, thus claiming the cup 8 and 1.

On Monday, Woman’s Day, the KGC Ladies Section hosted the day. Fritz van Dyk posted the winning score an outstanding 43 individual stableford points. Andre Williams was second and on 41 points in a count out from third placed Joanie Herselman. Dickie Thomas was fourth, alone on 38. Luchmen Poonawassy was fifth on 37 points. Four prize winners followed on 36 points – Neil Langley, Adrian McLaren, Ivan Coetzee and Susan Alexander.

Earlier in the week Neville Alexander enjoyed a convincing win in the KWV PowerPlay Niner Thursday. A powerplay six pointer at the second coupled with a a personal best 39 gross on the nine saw him return the the highest KWV Niner score to date – 26 points. Dave Benade was second on 22 points in a count out that included an eight pointer on the par four 13th. Dave Wilson, who lost that count out, was third.    

Gavin van Zyl returned the top score, 39 points, to win the Leon’s House of Liquor monthly IPS on Wednesday. Three players returned 36 points. The count out deemed Kevin Collings second, Johan Herselman third and Dries Du Plessis first reserve.

Flex Rantoa set a new Tuesday Super Six record when he posted 16 points, two short of a full house, for a narrow win over Peter Salo who was just one back on 15 points. Jehaan Richards was third on 14 points in a count out.
