Golden oldies golfers excel
Springs Country Club hosted their annual fund-raising over-50 versus under-50 golf challenge on Saturday.
Two of the 120 golfers who entered the competition, couldn’t make it on the day but the rest played their best shots to find the winners between the over-50 and under-50 players.
The senior golfers, older than 50 years, proved to be the best on the day with a 32-26 win.
According to Bennie de Lange, club chairman, it was the biggest attendance for the past 10 years and he is impressed with the turnout.
