MOKOPANE – This year’s Ladies Classic Golf Tournament presented quite a few interesting challenges.

“The tournament’s theme took the golfers back to the beginning of golf,” says Karien Grové, women’s golf captain for the past four years.
The format for the professional golfers was a betterball alternative on Friday and a betterball scramble drive on Saturday, while the non-professionals could participate on Saturday in a foursomes format.
A total of 36 professional golfers participated on Friday, while 108 keen professional and non-golfers took on the challenge on Saturday.
