“We had a fantastic open today with good weather for golf,” said Jenny Kroon of the women’s golf club on Saturday, adding that various clubs from across the country were sent invitations for their women members to attend the open.
Esmé Basola, manager of the Grahamstown Golf Club, provided lunch for the golfers. The mother and daughter twosome of Nonnie and Nanette Strydom from Walmer Country Club in Port Elizabeth were crowned the open champs as they went on to win with 47 points.
Grahamstown Golf club members Rose Gunton and Wilma Pellissier took second spot, while their clubmates Jane Bladen and Jean Austin finished third.
On a lighter note, one of the club’s male members, Judge Frank Kroon acted as a marker as there was a two ball cover. He went on to win the nearest-the-pin prize.
