At last, the weather gods were on our side… an absolutely perfect weekend for golf up at Langebaan.
Unfortunately, Langebaan Country Club regained the Goodwin Trophy with an 8 – 4 victory on the Saturday.
And on Sunday the weather was even more perfect. Taking full advantage of the conditions was Gareth Poggenpoel who seems to prefer playing in the Hout Bay outings with a 2-shot penalty.
Gareth’s 42 points was 4 better than 2nd placed Garth Roberts’s ( again on the podium ) score of 38. Neville Smith also scored 38 points off “a” handicap and Denzil Burger was next best on 34 points.
