Great support for Phiwe Mabaso tribute golf day

Submitted by Estcourt Golf Club

The club played host to the second Phiwe Mabaso Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday.

Over 94 players – some from as far as Gauteng, Durban and surrounding areas – joined the Mabaso family in paying tribute to one of Estcourt’s golfing and business entrepreneurs.

With such a big field, the golfers played in an ‘AM’ and ‘PM’ session. The morning golfers braved the icy-cold conditions to tee off at 07:15.

The afternoon golfers happily enjoyed much more pleasant conditions on the course. On completion of the golfing activities, the players and visitors were treated to a gala evening of soul-stirring music, lots of fun and a splendid meal (courtesy of the tournament hosts, the Mabaso family, and the title sponsors, SAB breweries).

A debt of gratitude to Mrs Mabaso; sons Philani, Joe and Hlangan; and the entire Mabaso family for choosing the golf club as the venue to pay tribute to the late Baba Phiwe Mabaso who, in his playing days, was a very accomplished golfer himself. Long live your memory, Baba Phiwe.
