Zululand beat uMhlali

THE Zululand golf team were in fine form on Sunday when they hosted uMhlali A in a KZN Golf Union league game played at the Empangeni Country Club.

The team, consisting of Richard Allan (captain), Rob Seiler, Graeme Johnson, Phillip Barnes, Jandri Kraftt, Etienne Steenkamp, Jarryd Good and Jason Winterboer, won their first game of the year by 8½ to 3½.

The home side utilised their knowledge of their backyard and took an early 2½ to 1½ lead after the first round of foursomes, which was contested over 18 holes.
