RPAGC MIXED
R E S U LTS
April 1
Easter Sunday saw the
RPAGC Ladies’ Section
organise another 4 Ball
Alliance Competition
following the success of
their inaugural event a
few months ago. The
alliance had a twist with
1 to count on the first
hole, 2 to count on the
second hole and 3 to
count on the third, the
sequence then recurring.
Main sponsor was
Continental Restaurant
and Deli along with
support from Suds
Soaps and O’Neills
Risk and Financial
Management Gauteng.
A stiff easterly
provided an additional
challenge to the field of
68 players.
Winners were Kevin
Berrington, Lindy
Wright, John and Jeni
Mager who counted
out Paul and Sandy
Fryer, and Andy and
Joy Altson into runner
up spot with both
teams on 90 points.
Kevin and Shirley Heny,
and Vaughn and Gail
Bursey took third place
counting out Tony and
Pat Halse, and Wollie
and Annerie Wo l m a r a n s
on 84 points.
Nearest the pins
were Andy on the 6th,
Rick Hill on the 11th,
Kevin Heny on the 11th
and Glen Lello on the
13th.
The Easter bunny
was generous with
dishing out Easter eggs
and all participants
enjoyed a meal
afterwards as part of
the festivities aligned
with the event.
The next Mixed
organised by the
Ladies’ Section is
scheduled for Sunday
May 27 with the theme
under review.
L ADIES’ R E S U LTS
March 27
Warm and almost
windless conditions
almost dispelled the
notion it was a Tuesday
afternoon as 33 ladies

sponsored by Ocean
B a s ke t .
Yvonne Hill and
Jenny Ralph combined
well to card 47 points
and win the
competition. Kim
Gardner and Margie
Siegers came home in
GOLFW E E K LY
... the results
second on 45 points
counting out Ellen
Fischer and Heather
van Harmelen into third
on the same score.

performances were
noted by Sheena Warren
and Ronel Hough with
nett 69’s and Heather
with a nett 68.
Yvonne hit the
longest drive on the
16th for those with
handicaps of 21 or less,
while Joanne Hilliar did
likewise for those with
higher handicaps. Two
clubs on par threes
were holed by Margie,
Jenny and Glynnis
Renecle all on the 8th.

closest to the pin on
Top Carpets' 6th.
Margie was closest on

10 points.

FRESH STOP PORT
ALFRED MIXED
March 31
Easter Saturday saw 33
players pitch for the
draw, gentlemen
outnumbering ladies
two to one, to be
drawn in 3 and 4-balls
to contest the weekly
Freshstop mixed
stableford alliance
competition. Winners
on the day was the
team of Fanie Smit,
Nick Oosthuizen, Pogs
Smith and Bruce Smith
on 88 points.
Second, and just
behind, on 86 points
was the all-male team,
drawn in this instance
and not by choice, of
Eric Segers, Greg
Shanks, Len Bohnen
and Graham Finlay.
Not fairing as well
with a return of 76
points Rusty Hallam,
Andy Manson and
visitor James Warsham
did sufficient to earn
the sponsors Energade
for the day.
Successful with
2-clubs were Barrie
Brady on the 6th, Bruce
on the 8th, Eric on the
13th and outdoing them
all Michael McLean on
both the 8th and 13th.
Bruce shooting an
excellent gross 78
whilst Rusty and Bruce
with a nett 69’s along
with Pogs with a nett
68 proved to be the
players of form on the
d ay.
KGB RESULTS
Tuesday March 27:
Once again a perfect
morning for golf
dawned on Tuesday
and 45 players
answered the call to
play the usual
2-to-count Stableford
alliance drawn into
three 3-balls and nine
4-balls.
There was a level of
disparity in the
contribution made by
one in the team of
John Ralph, Tom Tagg,
Steve Kennedy and
Derick van Harmelen,
but insufficient to deny
them coming home in
top spot with 91 points.
They were two points
to the fore of joint
runners up (1) Johnny
Johnson, Paul Fryer,
Neil Loundar and Hugh
Holmes and (2) Gavin
Richards, Andy
Manson, Kevin Maree
and Eric Segers.
The ball just seemed
to not want to go in the
hole for John Crandon,
Mike McNamara and
visitor Ian Gatenby
resulting in a lowly
score of just 68 + 5 =
73 points. The
consequence of this
was, of course, sharing
the notorious Hamer
and Sukkel trophy at
their table on the 19th
hole.
Two clubs were
holed by Steve
Kennedy (11th) and Eric
Segers (13th). There
were a number of good
individual nett scores,
the best being Neil
Loundar, Gavin
Richards (65), Heinz
Czepluch (67), Dave
Curran, Mark Warren
(68), Peter Reed, Barrie
Brady, John Abbot,
Steve Kennedy and
Derick van Harmelen
(69).
Friday March 30:
Good Friday saw 33
players drawn in 3 and
4-balls to play the
normal 2-count
Stableford alliance.
John Abbott, Martin
Lambrechts, Derick and
Heather van Harmelen
romped home with 92
points with second
spot jointly going to
Russel Warren, Andy
Barnes, Brian Hayward
and Johnny Johnston
along with Rusty
Hallam, Johnny van
Rensburg, John Abbot
and Bob Shaw on 89
points.
Visitor Ian Gatenby,
Barrie Brady and
Graham Finlay posted a
somewhat dismal 75
points to ensure the
Hamer and Sukkel took
its place at their table
for prize giving.
Two clubs were
recorded by Quentin
Hogge (11th), Mark
Warren (13th), Tim
Leach (8th) and Tim
Anderson (6th).
Individual good
scores were recorded
by Rusty with a nett 69,
Gavin Richards and
Johnny with 68’s.

PORT Alfred had a busy
weekend with the Amanzi
Fe st i va l .
Striders helped organise the
trail run by measuring, marking,
marshalling and clearing the
steps at Stenden and cutting
the path through the bush
section. A big thanks to all the
members who helped. A couple
of us are going to keep the
steps and bush section clear all
year for all to use. Amazingly,
many people who have lived
here for years did not know
these sections existed.
Some of our members took
part and did very well.
Sizakele Dayimani finished
second in 29 minutes 39
seconds.
Litemba Jekana 4th in 31:34
Ayabonga Saul 6th in 33:20
Rebecca Nelson 16th in 39:14

compete in the Two Oceans
M a r at h o n .

the 56km event in 6 hours 17
minutes.

Stiglingh who did the 21km in

group. He was pipped at the
post by one second by the
