George Aug 2006

Monthly game played at the George Golf Club on Sunday 13th August. The weather was fantastic, and the course had drained very well considering all the rains we had. The greens were quick and superb, and the scores of the C Division prove it. Thanks very much to our hosts for a good course, with only one fault, that we should have played off the white markers and not the blue.

Our thanks to our numerous local and national sponsors for the day, especially Braam van Huysteen from Tekkie Town as our main sponsor, and a special mention to Pick 'n Pay Minipick Family Store for the Andrew Mentis Hamper.

We were priveleged in hosting a big field, 236 players, thanks to the stay-overs from Seaboard. The fines session for the day was conducted by our National Junior Vice Chairman, Alf Duncan, and he robbed quite a few Nomads pockets. Thanks to the Pink Ladies for their two days hard work. They were there from 6h30 to 19h30 both days. We really appreciate it.
