Umkomaas golfers on a winning streak
Semi-final results on Saturday, 17 August, saw Nelson defeating Barrie Taylor two-up and Chris Pillay beating Kavesh Seewpersad two and one.
The Umkomaas women have been on a wonderful winning streak of late.
This past week Linda Toward and Lesa Vergottini took on Port Shepstone’s Yzelle Greyling and Kim Strauss in the second round of the annual Natalia foursomes, this year being competed in the South Coast region. UGC’s women won two and one on the 18th hole and will take on Margate in the next round in the coming weeks.
The miserable weather on Saturday, 17 August, didn’t put off the regulars who competed in a betterball club competition. New members Russell and Evija McKelvey took top honours on a count-out from Sabiha Bacaus and Riek Janse van Rensburg on 45 points. Third place, on an equally impressive 43 points, were Tom Naicker and Saga Reddy. Sabiha’s great form continues and she scooped an impressive 11 points on the four jackpot holes.
