Roel breaks his age
>
AGE is but a number as Southbroom Golf Club veteran Roel Germs proved last Wednesday, when he broke his age by three shots, shooting 81.
He and George Haswell unsurprisingly won the comp on 51 points, with Lance Marshall and Roy Deakins in second place on 49 points.
In third were Dries Barkhuizen and Patrick Mavundla on 48 points, tied with Barclay Shearer and Gerald Fitzgerald.
Mike Jacquet had an eagle two at the 7th.
Meanwhile, the women played for the Mary Thomson Memorial Goblet Espirit de Corps. It was won by Rene Matthew on 41 points.
Mary was a long-standing member (and employee) of the club. She personified the common spirit and loyalty that exists between the women members at the club, hence the naming of the trophy Espirit de Corps.
The monthly Union Motors open day last Friday was won by John Fourie, Frank Carr, Roy Watkins and Pat McCormack, beating Shaun Nathanson, David Higgins, Kevin Bourhill and David Smythe in the play-off.
