The annual Margate Challenge, sponsored by Halfway Toyota Shelly Beach, is a highlight on the calendar and this year was no different.
At the end of two days of somewhat windswept betterball golf, local knowledge and wisdom seemed to be the key as club captain Carlos Pereira and Derek Egerton teamed up to win on 88 points.
Runners-up were Rolf and Agnes Spielmann on 84 points, with Shaun du Bois and Ettienne Kruger, flying Toyota’s flag, in third on 83 points.
There were two pairs tied on 82 points, with Mark Pride and Pierre Lavoipierre counting out Anika Mulder and Cathy Meyer.
In sixth place were Werner Duggan and Jan Nqoko on 81 points.
Seventh spot went to Koos Jacobs and Johan Stoltz on 80 points.
Prizes paid out all the way to 15th.
In eighth position were Edward Bense and Anika Mulder (pivot) on 79 points.
There was a three-way tie on 78 points, with the countout going to Joe Espach and Chris Nel for ninth, Peter Botha and Rina Rito for tenth and P Lourence and C Lourence for eleventh.
Des Potts and Sandi Johnston were twelfth on 77 points, counting out Stephen Herbst and John Evans, as well as Christer Solgevik and Ronnie Mtshaka, plus Hayden Lansdell and Norman Lansdell.
On the Friday, nearest the pins were Sandi Johnston (2nd), Koos Jacobs (4th) and Dawn Howden (11th).
Longest drives were hit by Cathy Meyer (9th) and Blake Taylor (17th).
The next day the nearest the pins were struck by Rory Reen (2nd), Matt Steyn (4th), Carlos Pereira (8th) and Agnes Spielman (11th).
Longest drive (ladies) went to Anika Mulder (5th).
