LADIES’ R E S U LTS
March 25
The afternoon turned out to
be superb weather-wise as
the ladies’ section turned
out to play their last game of
golf before lockdown.
Twenty-three players
entered the better-ball
medal competition.
On the eve of her
departure back to the UK,
swallow Launa Kirk,
partnered with Jenny Adair,
won the afternoon’s
proceedings with a great
nett 66.
Ingrid Griffiths pivoted
with both Bridget McNellis
to come second (nett 67)
and with Maureen
McGarvie to come third
(nett 68).
There were no two-clubs.
Donné Piguet’s tee shot was
closest to the pin on Top
Carpet’s 6th, as was Edith
Knepper’s on Rosehill
Driving Range’s 8th and
Yvonne Hill’s on Wimpy’s
11th.
Sonia Reynolds ended up
“closest for two” on Kekkel
and Kraai’s 13th.
The longest drive
competitions were held on
the 14th and struck by Carol
Lee and Donné Piguet in the
lower and higher handicap
sections respectively.
There will be no further
ladies’ section competitions
until the lockdown is over.
However, the ladies’
section will be starting a
new golf bunnies
programme once prevailing
conditions allow.
If you have always
wanted to learn to play golf
or maybe have not played
for a long time and want to
pick it up again, or for
whatever the reason, you
will not regret joining the
Royal Port Alfred Golfing
Bunnies group.
The package is made up
of a series of eight to 10
lessons with a professional
both on the course and at
the driving range.
During this time, you will
be invited to join the ladies
group on a Tuesday, as well
as have the ability to play as
a member for a period of six
months.
We will also provide you
with a course on how to
score and learn the golfing
rules and etiquette.
By the end of the
programme you will be well
equipped to join the regular
group of ladies on a
Tu e s d ay.
The Royal Port Alfred
ladies’ golfing section has
been going for more than
100 years.
There are a great team of
ladies who play every
Tuesday afternoon, followed
by a casual prize-giving and
socialising over beverages.
Every Tuesday there are
about 24 to 38 ladies in
attendance.
We have ladies who
travel weekly from
Alexandria, Bathurst and
Kenton to join the golf and
fun. In the summer months
we also have a large
contingent of swallows from
the UK, Germany and other
parts of Europe.
Should you be interested,
please contact Trish
Barwick on 082-658-8442
or e-mail her on

N E I G H B O U R LY NOTES
With the global Covid-19 pandemic
devastating communities
throughout the world, South
Africans need to ensure they obey
the national lockdown conditions.
Our close-knit communities in
our townships are particularly
susceptible to contagion and
therefore must be cautious when
touching things (such as keypads on
ATMs and pay points in stores).
Please be careful and do not be
the reason for others catching the
virus. Wash your hands after you
touch anything and make sure you
thoroughly clean any surface you
use or is used by others.
Together we can beat this.
Rob and the TotT team wish you
well over the period of the national
lockdown. Stay safe.
