Another week has brought us to the end of month 2 of the year, and (thankfully) we’re starting the downhill slide to winter.
J Leslie Smith & Associates hosted our monthly JLS 2-4-2 Nominated Mixed Pairs on Tuesday. The weather held and we had a lovely turnout with every one enjoying the morning. Congratulations to the following winners and a big thank you to our sponsor JLS:-
First Prize – Craig Whitby & Cindy Bro
Second Prize – Koos Marais & Lisa Nagel
Third Prize – Allan & Sharon Willey
Plate Prize - Dave & Grace Mainprize
Plate Runners Up – Bob Chetty & Londiwe Mvelase
On Wednesday afternoon we hosted some of the NIBA players for their practice and received the following wonderful feedback “Our training was fantastic. The ladies were so impressed about how lovely the club looked. Steve had everything ready for us, offered us tea. The greens were brilliant faster than ours in Clark's own words. They were a dream to play on.”
What a pleasure to have them practice on our greens and we look forward to the possibility of hosting them again in the future.
Friday saw 16 teams entered into our monthly SGK Nominated 2 Bowl Trips competition. Whilst a rather HOT day there was lots of great bowls played and amazingly all three toucher prizes were taken within the first three minutes of the competition. Well done to Mary Steytler, Tara Janse Van Rensburg and Colin Norris on their super-fast touchers!
Congratulations also must go to:
First Prize – Craig Whitby, Tara Janse Van Rensburg & Mark Taylor
Second Prize – Allan & Sharon Willey & Koos Marais
Third Prize – Rick, Ed Sharpe & Shayne Knott
Plate Prize - Colin & Pat Norris & Lisa Nagel aka “Team N”
100 Club Winner – Barry Fairbrother
On Saturday Kevin Palmer & Wendy Smith played their Club Mixed Pairs game against Malcolm & Liz Tait. What a fantastic game! Kevin and Wendy went into the last end 2 shots down and managed to just sneak in a win by picking up 3 shots on that final end. It was certainly nail biting and well done to all four players!
As usual, we have some exciting things coming up. Keep an eye out for details on our Friday Night Lights which will be played on the first and third Friday of every month, as well as our all day competition which will be sponsored by J Leslie Smith & Associates, along with Oakleigh Funeral Home. That will take place on the 21st of March and there will be some great cash prizes up for grabs!
That’s all for this week… see you on the greens!
