A CORRECTION to last week’s Amanzimtoti Golf Club report – it was reported that the winner of the B division matchplay was Patrick Cruikshank when in fact the winner was Peter Tierney.
The Premier league team which played Royal Durban at Royal on Sunday didn’t fair to well and went down 9 ½ to 2 ½. The B division league team played Camelot at Papwa and managed to edge them out with a 6 ½ to 5 1/2 win.

Losing their singles were Tommy McNaughton 4 and 3, Mike Halse 2 and 1 and Eugene Mbambo 2 down.
