The annual Rotary Club of Hibiscus Coast charity golf day, held at Margate Country Club last Saturday, was won by Johann Erasmus and Poen Olivier on 49 points.

They needed the countout to help them, with Anika Mulder and Cathy Meyer having to settle for second place.
In third place on 46 points were Anton Kohrmann and James Carlsen, counting out Flip Fourie and Johan Stolz.
Fifth place went to Conrad Boonzaier and Des Potts on 45 points, counting out Juan Dixon and Alan Halvorsen.

In seventh spot were Wayne Minnaar and Butch Bouwer on 44 points, counting out Carlos Pereira and Derek Egerton.

Nearest the pins were Juan Dixon (2nd), John Ford (4th), Juan Dixon (8th), Brian Jolliffe (11th) and Johann Erasmus (16th).

Beyond just a day of golf, the event served as a platform for fostering camaraderie and philanthropy, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting Rotary’s crucial initiatives.

Far more than a leisurely sporting occasion, the charity golf day stands as a beacon of Rotary’s commitment to improving community welfare, particularly with a focus on youth empowerment.
Convenor Johnny de Wet said that through the generous contributions of participants and sponsors alike, the event raised funds to support Rotary’s multifaceted mission.

“This includes providing essential services, such as access to clean water through water tanks, sanitation facilities, as well as promoting skills development and education initiatives, particularly for vulnerable youth,” he said.
Former president Brian Blumrick extended his heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the Rotarians to the club, sponsors and golfers.

“Their collective efforts have made a tangible difference in the lives of those in need,” he said.
