Toti golfers unfettered by gusting winds
Thankfully the wind stayed away on Saturday as both the men and women played their monthly medal.
AFTER the beautiful early winter weather experienced the previous week, the cold front arrived bringing the wind with it.
This must have made for some interesting golf on Wednesday and Friday, although looking at the points the wind had no effect on the winners at Amanzimtoti Golf Club.
