Jason de Boer, an avid amateur golfer from Randburg, secured his place at the Johannesburg regional elimination in the 21st World Amateur Golfers Championship.
The tournament teed off to a successful start at the Glendower Golf Club with a field of excited amateur golfers coming together to compete for a place in the top three of their handicap groups.
De Boer proved his ability as a serious competitor with a solid finish of 73 nett placing him first in his 6–10 handicap group.
With the first round secured, his sights are now set on the SA National Final to be played at Selborne Hotel, Spa & Golf Estate on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast from 3 to 5 November.
The competition will be fierce to claim the one winning spot in each handicap group in order to qualify for the Team SA blazer and win an all-expenses paid trip to the 21st World Final in Turkey next month.
“The Joburg qualifier has set the ball in motion for an exciting elimination process for this year’s Team SA selection. This is a fantastic opportunity for amateur golfers to showcase their talent in the world’s largest amateur golf tournament,” concluded World Golf Events SA and Team SA captain Arthur Mzimela.
