SATURDAY GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL GOLF FUNDRAISER

Dave Wilson, spoilt by home advantage, was first on 44 points. A count out on 42 points saw Dickey Thomas second and Donald Whitebooi third. The final prizes went to Bonolo Modise and Luchmen Poonawassy, both on 41 points.

In the Ladies Bogey competition Dalina Schoeman was first and Noreen Anne Crozier second.

In the Seniors event, the not so old versus the not so young, it was experience that prevailed.
