LADIES’ R E S U LTS
March 30
Battling a strong, gusting easterly
wind, 28 ladies took part in an
Individual Stableford competition
(95% HA) and competed for the
Jones-Phillipson Cup.
Making light of the conditions,
Donne Piguet ran out a clear
winner on 39 points to take the
Jones-Phillipson Cup, with second
placed Penny Yeats counting out
Anita de Bruin into third place,
both ladies scoring 35 points.
Prue Peacock was nearest the
pin on the 8th, while Donne was
nearest on the 11th.
The longest drive, on hole 17,
was won by Lynette Harbrecht in
the 0-21 handicaps division and
Jo-Anne Hilliar was longest in the
22-onwards handicap division.
There were no two clubs but
Donne had the best nett of the day
with her nett 69.
The Ladies Competition on
April 13 will be a Viv Jordan
Individual Stableford and the
second round of the Easter Shield
(eclectic ¾ handicap).

KGB RESULTS
Tuesday March 30: An initially
calm morning with the wind
rapidly developing into a stiff
easterly, and with temperatures in
the mid 20s, saw 34 golfers drawn
in two 3-balls and seven 4-balls to
compete in a Stableford Alliance
2-scores-count format.
John Crandon, Peter Reed,
George Lake and David
Groenewald dovetailed well to
compose a solid 85 points in first
position.
Eugene Erasmus, Andy
Stembridge, Donald McGarvie
and John Dell finished on 82
points in second without any
challengers, the rest of the field all
scoring in the 70s. The Hamer en
CLEAR WINNER: The winner of the Jones-Phillipson Cup on
March 30 was Donne Piguet, right, with Dee Jones-Phillipson,
handing over the trophy
Sukkel sat on the table of the
second three-ball to finish their
round until the very last covey
came into the clubhouse.
Dave Curran, Phillip van der
Byl, Graham Finlay and Heinz
Czepluch were kind enough to
transfer the trophy into their
safekeeping with their 71 points.
Eugene Erasmus birdied the par
three 8th, Peter Longhurst also
birdied the par three 11th but John
Crandon and George Lake both
birdied the par three 6th, and
being in the same covey took the
2-club pool and all spoils on offer
on the day.
Indicative of playing
conditions, no individual rounds
of 70 nett or below were
recorded.
Friday April 2: Welcome rain saw
no KGB competition taking place.
BOWLS BANTER
Kenton Bowling Club
Over the Easter weekend
Kenton was filled with
visitors, though the
weather on Sunday threw a
damper on a c t iv i t i e s .
Our bowling club also
saw a lot of visitors last
Monday with the return of
the Business League.
Due to the Covid
regulations, we have only
just been able to get this
underway and this has
produced some challenges
with lighting on B green.
However, at the end of
the day, we had 16 teams
participating and everyone
had a great fun-filled
afternoon and evening.
Volunteer club
members manned the bar,
got the fire going, and
cooked and served
boerewors rolls during the
e ve n t .
This annual event, apart
from helping to create a
great community spirit, is
of tremendous benefit to
the club.
It will be continuing
every Monday evening,
with the exception of
public holidays, for the
next month or so.
It was a pleasure to see
Roy Gordon, a new
member, on the greens at
tabs-in this week and he
was putting his bowls
around the jack like a pro.
We had an excellent
turnout last Wednesday
and unfortunately late
arrivals had to be turned
away.
Please remember the
tabs door closes five
minutes before tabs time.
There is bowls on
Saturday and Monday
afternoons, though it
looked like Monday would
most likely be washed out
this week.
Due to Easter Friday
we did the PT Lockdown
Draw after bowls on
Th u r s d ay.
We have 23 entries in
the draw this month and
the first winner was Carl
Ve r m e u l e n .
A very fitting win for
Carl, who with Personal
Trust, do so much for our
and other clubs in the
region.
There was no joker or
whisky draw this week.
Tabs in on Saturday saw
a full turnout with quite a
few visitors of all ages.
A good time was had by
all.
Kenton Bowling Club
has been asked to host the
first round of the sections
playing in the Eastern
Areas Men’s Pairs
competition on April 10
and 11.
Dave West is busy
preparing the necessary
greens as 10 rinks will be
needed that weekend.
Strong teams have
entered and we wish them
all good bowling and an
enjoyable time.
Kowie Bowling Club
There was good
attendances this week.
Those who had looked
forward to the “Play and
B ra a i ” on Monday were
thwarted by the very
welcome rain.
Starting on Tuesday it
was good to see Eric Kent
come out of the woodwork
– so much so that he won
the competition with the
able assistance of Megan
Kriel and Ossie Harbrecht.
Eric is one of those few
platers who can come off
the veld and immediately
play well, though I am sure
his team also contributed.
Thursday and Saturday
belonged to Judy.
Playing with Michael
van der Sandt and Rob
Turner on Thursday, she
swept the board, while on
Saturday she had Cyprian
Gaurd, Rob Walker and
Alan Sheridan on her side.
Anna for her good win.
With last Friday seeing
some valuable showers
fall, the weekly bounce
game was called off.
Neverthelss, p l aye r s
gathered at the club for a
drink or two, and with
Peter at his best relating
some funny hunting stories
involving himself and
others.
This scribe did not play
bowls this past Saturday as
he was playing golf with
his sons.
But former club captain
John Hodges reported
there was a very good
turnout and an enjoyable
time was had by all.
This coming Saturday
sees the monthly Build Itsponsored
trips being
played at the club, while
the Eastern Areas men’s
pairs will also take place.
The pairs were
scheduled to be played at
the Port Alfred Bowling
Club but with the greens
not quite ready, the event
has been switched to
Ke n t o n .
Good bowling to all
who have entered.
WELL DONE:
The winner of
the club novice
singles at the
Port Alfred
Bowling Club is
Anna
Strombeck, left,
with runner-up
Joanne Brown
on the right. In
the middle is
marker Hilary
Allen
Port Alfred Bowling
Club
Hope all bowlers had a
blessed Easter.
Well done to Anna
Strombeck on becoming
the new novice champion
after beating Joanne Brown
in the final last Wednesday
afternoon.
The previous day
Joanne had played and
beaten Maria Stowe to
reach the final.
Unfortunately, Joanne
had to deal with the
emotion of having to put
down one of her dogs the
same morning of the final
and this may have played a
part in her defeat.
Anyway, well done to
