AMANZIMTOTI Country Club and Conservancy (CCC) is happy to announce that Tommy McNaughton will be taking over the reins at Amanzimtoti Golf Club for the year ahead.
The decision was not taken lightly, but in view of the coming centenary year and the women hosting the KZNLGA inter-club championships, as well as the need for a constant leader.
Toti CCC wishes Tommy a good year in the hot-seat, and trust that all the members will provide their fullest support to him and his committee.
