Annual Namib Diesel Par 3 Challenge

A total of 33 players entered for the very popular Par 3 Challenge Competition last Saturday, 3 November. The competition was generously sponsored by Jaco de Witt and partner Boel Grobbelaar at the Walvis Bay Golf Club. 

We were blessed with a windless, beautiful, sunny day! All 18 holes were converted into Par 3’s, which suited all the good iron players and putters.
