“I’m happy to have won, and I have to admit that my familiarity with the course has helped a lot. It was a combination of good sportsmanship and a bit of experience which resulted in the win.” Meanwhile, Selaelo Maponya was the ladies longest drive winner and Ronald Malatji her counterpart in the male
division.

Marula Golf organiser, Edwell Matukane, said they were pleased with the turnout. “We reached our full number of participants and unfortunately we had to turn some away. The Tzaneen Country Club was a great course to play at and we want to thank all 14 sponsors for their support.”
