... runners with pride
The Bay Ultra was held
this past weekend in Port
Elizabeth. Sticks and
Marianne Stiglingh
competed in the 21km
event in hot humid
conditions. Marianne
finished in good time of
2 hours 5 minutes and
looked quite comfortable.
Well done to Sticks on a
great time of 1:38 to
finish 3rd in his age
group.
Our weekly Tuesday
time trial is getting
bigger each week. We
had just short of 60
runners and walkers last
week sweating it out to
achieve better times.
Welcome to all the
newcomers. Really great
to see you all.
Billy’s TIPS
Peaking is a deliberate
decision to sharpen and
rest – it does not happen
intentionally. Peaking
sometimes happens
accidently when illness,
injury or weather forces
you to rest from training.

conditions yet 34 players turned out to play

3-balls and seven four-balls in a two-to-count
Stableford Alliance.
Derek Sinclair shot 79 to nett 64 and lead his
covey of Steve Kennedy, Lynn West and Glyn

KGB RESULTS
Tuesday February 5: Once in a while, Port
Alfred enjoys perfect weather: warm and
sunny with light cooling zephyrs to ensure
everyone is comfortable. Such was Tuesday
morning and 49 players heeded the call to
attend KGB’s two-to-count Stableford alliance
after being drawn into 10 four-balls and three
three-balls.
Recent much needed rains have brought a

degree of greenness back to the course as
grass once more begins to grow. This
“lengthens” the course considerably and
scores were lower than might be expected,
especially after the hard billiard table
conditions of the fairways during the recent
drought.
Nevertheless winners John Abbot, John
Crandon, Phillip van der Byl and Gavin
Richards carded an exemplary 88 points to
sweep all opposition aside. Second place
went to Neil Loundar, Bob Shaw, Peter Reed
and Andy Manson with 86 points.
Way behind were Hamer en Sukkel recipients
Brian Shirley, Dale Wisener and Barrie B
Brady who collectively found the going tough
and record just 69+5 =74 points.
Andy Manson alone holed out a two-club
(eighth) and not surprisingly there were no
individual rounds of note.
Friday February 8: Friday morning saw a
record turnout of players for the ever
increasing in popularity KGB two-to-count
Stableford alliance. This was despite hot,
humid conditions with ever increasing in
intensity westerly winds. The field of 58 was
drawn into two three-balls and 13 four-balls.
Neil Loundar along with wife Theresa plus
John Crandon and Len Bohnen carded a
creditable 90 points to win the competition.
Gavin Richards, John Abbot, Colin Armstrong
and Peter Reed were a close behind
runners-up team on 89 points.
The team of Danny and Gaby Tarpani playing
with Uwe and Vera Blunk battled the steamy
conditions to put just 78 points on their card,
the consequence of which was to be awarded
the notorious Hamer en Sukkel trophy at the
19th hole.
There were a number of two-clubs on the par
threes: Andy Stembridge, John Muggeridge,
and Theresa Loundar on the eighth and Gavin
Richards on the 11th.
The best nett rounds were shot by Heather
van Harmelen (66), Gerald Churchley, Gavin
Richards (68), Adrian White, John Crandon,
Neil Loundar, John Muggeridge, Steve Daly
(69) and Adrian Reid (70).
