Tuppy takes top spot

Golf at the club started on Friday (March 3) with the hosting of the inaugural Farmers Classic. 72 golfers took to the course in a 4-Ball Alliance Scramble Drive format. This is a huge achievement for Estcourt Golf Club and the Farmers Association.

Friday evening concluded with a sumptuous supper and prize-giving ceremony. Golfers’ attention then shifted to Saturday’s Mortimer Motors Group Monthly Medal / Stableford competition. Winning the Medal and Stableford competition on a nett 71 and 37 points was Derrick ‘Tuppy’ Schiever. Well played Tuppy, after being out of the game for a while due to injury.

In close second, Dr Chotu took the battle of the doctors, edging out Dr Nkosinathi Khuzwayo on a count-out. Both doctors scored nett 72 and 36 points. Luke Schiever captured the Brokenshas Multi-Franchise best gross award, scoring a gross of 78. Dr Khuzwayo fell one short again, scoring 79. Better luck next month, Doc!

Luke also claimed the ‘Gerry’s Motors closest to the pin on no. 2 for two’ award. Closest to the pin on no. 12, David Diedrick struck his iron shot to within a metre of the flag and then sunk the putt for his two-club. Luke and mug winner Tuppy also had two-clubs on no. 12.
Paul Wagenaar claimed his on no. 3 and Dr Erasmus on no. 16.

The jackpot, on eight points, was shared by David Diedrick, Shrey Harrynarain and Deejay Ramdhav. Thank you to the sponsors for a great weekend of golf.

Some additional positives from the Estcourt Golf Club Association: With the Mabaso family and Phiwe Mabaso Memorial Golf Day held in January, needy schoolchildren received school uniforms. It was truly heartwarming to see the joy on their faces.
