18 Talk of the Town ADVERTISING / NEWSDESK: (046) 624 4356 Find us on Facebook October 6, 2016 Kenton-on-Sea Bowling Club LAST Wednesday, our women took on the Port Alfred Bowling Club ladies in the bi-monthly Doris Ford competition. The event was actually the August leg of the competition, which was postponed due to the heatwave we experienced at the end of August. It was evident that the Port Alfred ladies had recovered faster from the heat exhaustion than our ladies, as they won this leg by two matches to one. They also lead in the year-todate standing and with one more leg to go, are assured of winning the annual Doris Ford trophy. On Thursday, our six teams travelled to Kowie Bowling Club for the President’s Chair competition. This is a fun competition with mixed teams made up by the club captains. Our club’s president will have to remain standing as Kowie retained the colourful President’s Chair. They narrowly beat us with three matches, won by both sides. Kowie managed an overall shot profit of eight in the six matches and that ensured that their president can continue to enjoy his tea sitting down. Friday was draw night. The weekly attendance draw was held just after 6pm. Stuart Clarkson’s number was Get blown away at the Cannon Rocks Kiteboarding Classic Top athletes pumped for SA’s favourite event FROM today until Saturday, South Africa’s top kiteboarding athletes will be taking part in what promises to be another cracker edition of the Cannon Rocks Kiteboarding Classic. Over the years, scenic Cannon Rocks has made a name for itself by providing kiteboarders with world-class conditions. Nestled on the Sunshine Coast, it has much to offer for kiteboarders of all drawn, but as he wasn’t present, he missed out on the R1200 jackpot! Reminder: The attendance draw can be held at any time between 6pm and 7pm on a Friday night. The Club100 draw was won by Felicia Wolf, with runner-up Pippa Swift collecting the second prize of R140. Ivor Rule won the Club100 attendance prize, which was worth R200, with all the carryovers from previous months. Finally, our usual Whiskey Draw compère, Dave West, was absent but was rewarded by having his number drawn and winning this week’s whiskey. Saturday was Social Saturday. The greens had been aerated during the week and that caused some “crazy” bowls. However, it was an enjoyable afternoon and our club will enjoy the benefits of the revitalised greens in the weeks to come. This month’s prize was sponsored by Preston’s Bottle Store and the winners each walked away with a R100 gift voucher and a pen. It was an afternoon for the ladies as Ruth Low’s team were the victors, with Di Gruneberg’s team running a close second. Duties October 10-15: Ta b s cashier – Rob Smith, Bar – The Rule family. Next week’s events: October 6 – Seeff Supa Thursday; levels, and so does the contest. “This event has become the most stable and popular fixture on the South African kiteboarding circuit,” organiser Cedric Vandenschrik said. The contest, which is now in its sixth edition, has grown over the years to have more of a “fe st i va l ” feel, with everyone making the trek mostly for the vibe. The contest gives South African kiteboarders of all levels the opportunity to take centrestage and display their skills, within different c at e g o r i e s . The exhilarating action ranges from freestyle, big air, racing and wav e - r i d i n g , given the right weather conditions. “The Cannon Rocks Kiteboarding Classic has always prided itself on running a flexible event that fits in with given weather conditions, especially for the amateur c at e g o r i e s .

Port Alfred Bowling and Croquet Club The Doris Ford was played on Wednesday, September 28, and we won two games and lost one game by one shot. Well played! The Tommy and Rita Browne Trophy was hotly contested last Saturday, with 22 teams of trips taking part. Mufti and music was the order of the day and three rounds of bowls were played. Apart from a delay between the first and second round, all went well and fun was had by all. First was David Freeme and his team, second was Lionel Howar th’s team, third was Noel Heale’s team and fourth was Neill de Villiers’s team. Thank you so much to our sponsors, who have graciously announced they will sponsor the tournament again next year. The second round of the Ladies Senior Singles rounds three and four were to be played “It also allows the pros to show off their best in the best conditions,” Vandenschrik said. The festivities don’t stop on the beach. With great support from the local community and groups of riders from various provinces in South Africa, Cannon Rocks comes alive after a day at the beach.

Thursday we played our second round of the President’s Chair Competition, which is competed for between Kenton and Kowie Clubs. The trophy is a Bentwood kitchen chair that has been brightly painted with the Kowie Club lighthouse pictured on the s e at . The contest is between six mixed teams from each club and is open to all members. What a contest it turned out to be, with each club winning three games, and Kowie had the positive shot profit six points /+8. Lionel Howarth and his team were in fine form to take a full house eight off one of our teams. We did have an overflow of tabs bowlers on the day who played on the B green but I did not receive any cards for that and there was no competition for tabs. On Saturday, five Kowie trips teams went to the Port Alfred Club to participate in the Tommy Browne mixed trips competition. UPSIDE DOWN: Mike Engelbrecht, from Port Elizabeth, performing a spectacular manoeuvre at last year’s Cannon Rocks Kiteboarding Classic They could have ordered better weather for the day – but we all had a great day. It was all played over short games, of which we played three in the day, and only had entries from Kenton, Kowie and De We t ’s Dorp Club. Well done to Tommy and Rita for not only sponsoring the competition but also coming to Port Alfred for the week and playing in the competition. The winner was Port Alfred’s David Freeme’s team, with second place to Lionel Howarth’s and third to Noel Heale’s. Kowie’s best-placed team, in fifth spot, was Mike Tomlinson’s team of Jackie Kriel and Robert Wa l ke r. On Saturday, we also had tabs bowls at home for those who were not involved in the PA competition, and I am very pleased to report that EP president, Brian Buchanon, and his wife Moira, played with our guys on the day. There was no competition and a Snowball was done with No2 being drawn for the four ends. Lee Botma’s team of Basil Clarke and Lucia Nel won and shared the +/- R90 in the kitty.

Results: October 1: Total Whale Half Marathon, Her manus Carol Nepgen walked Spa’s 13th. The competition on October 11 will be an individual stableford sponsored by Viv Jordan. FRESH STOP PORT ALFRED MIXED October 1: Once again, cold westerlies pervaded the course, keeping players well wrapped up. A total of 21 players were drawn into three mixed threeballs and four mixed fourballs, to play the usual twoto-count stableford alliance. The “bachelor” team of Tim and Greg Shanks along with Eric Segers and Andy Manson coped best with the conditions and carded 90 points to win the competition. Bridget McNellis, Sandy and Paul Fryer came home second, one point in arrears with 89. Mo Marsay, Glynnis Renecle and Terry Harris had a poorer than average day, scoring just 80 points, ending with the much to be avoided receipt of the sponsor’s energy boosting drinks. Sonia Reynolds was closest to the pin on the eighth to win a bottle of wine. She went on to birdie the hole. Other two-clubs were sunk by Mike Brown (eighth) and Bryan Robinson (11th). Shanks’s 66 was the best nett round of the day followed by Brown and McNellis, both on 68. KGB RESULTS Tuesday September 27: Stiff and cold winds swept the course on Tuesday morning, but failed to deter 30 players from entering the usual two-to-count stableford alliance. The field was drawn into six four-balls and two threeballs. In an unprecedented KGB situation, the covey scoring the most points was this very tough half marathon, which started and ended at Hermanus High School. She finished in 2:51:08. October 2: Constantia Valley Grape Run, Constantia Carol Nepgen walked the half marathon, while Jean Nepgen took on the 14km event. These are both disqualified due to two of its members playing off the forward tees while being handicapped off the mens’ normal white tees. Thus the winners of the morning’s play were Neil Loundar, Matt Chadwick and James Lobban with 87 + 5 = 92 points. They were just one point to the good of runners-up Tommy Meyer, Chris Niebieszczanski, Wilton Adcock and Cecil Grobelaar. The Hamer en Sukkel went to Barrie B Brady, Hugh Holmes, Graham Findlay and Len Bohnen, after the latter two were found to be suffering from the unique malady of blue and white colour blindness. John Crandon holed the only two-club of the morning (eighth). The day's best net rounds were shot by Wilton Adcock (66), Andy Manson (67), Matt Chadwick and Lobban (69). Friday September 30: The day saw 36 players turned out to be drawn into nine four-balls to play a two-to-count stableford “â la Por tuguese” with a bonus point available on any hole, where three net birdies were recorded. (1) Jan Immelman, Tommy Meyer, Gerald Churchley and Mike Brown and (2) – Mark Warren, Barrie B Brady, Cliff Roberts (aka Cliff Richard) and Hugh Holmes both carded 93 points to become joint winners of the morning’s proceedings. At the other end of the points list, Mick Rushmere, Richard Laing, Martin Lambrechts and Heinz Czepluch could only muster 77 points, thus having the indignity of sharing the 19th hole with the infamous Hamer en Sukkel trophy. Gerald and Richard Farndell both birdied the eighth, the only two-clubs of the morning. Both Lobban and Gerald Churchley shot superb nett 64s and Hugh Holmes (68), Barrie Brady and Mark Warren (69) would have been pleased with their contributions to their covies. extremely tough races, with the route taking participants into and up the historic wine farms of Constantia. The scenery is fantastic. Their times: Jean (14km) 2:22:35 and Carol (21.1km) 3:08:10.
