<strong>Germiston</strong> Golf Club<br />
<strong>Germiston</strong>, 8 th <strong>Sept</strong>ember <strong>2019</strong>- Captains Report<br />
On the weekend of 24 th /25 th August 21 Easterns <strong>Nomads</strong> went off to play the Glenbrynth<br />
Challenge at Highland Gate. This is a great venue for a tour and we compete in 3<br />
competitions over 2 days versus Swaziland, Gauteng, Northerns and Lowveld. Rob Gordon<br />
did a great job coordinating with the other clubs with Lowveld as hosts.<br />
Results:<br />
LES Trophy (Swazi, Easterns, Lowveld): Winner Easterns<br />
Quadrangular (Gauteng, Lowveld, Northerns, Easterns): Winner Easterns<br />
Glenbrynth Challenge (all 5 clubs): Winner Gauteng by 0.05 point over Easterns<br />
Well done team and to the rest of you please try and make this trip next year it is truly a<br />
great tournament.<br />
The 13 th and 14 th <strong>Sept</strong>ember heralded the 19 th version of the Botswana Nationals with<br />
Easterns having 18 players for South Africa. Hot, dry weather greeted us but the cowboy<br />
bar was an excellent refuge from the heat. Some of us scored well and others not too<br />
good, Mark Hughes charged out with a 40 pointer on Friday but faded badly in the Saturday<br />
sun. Well done to Botswana on a great weekend of good laughs and fun. Many<br />
tales to tell but as we say “what goes on tour stays on tour”. Les Floyd made a cameo<br />
appearance for the first swing of a club in 4 years on Friday and shot a very credible 25<br />
points. This was a first for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not often you have to ask<br />
warthogs to please get out of the way in order to play your shot.
