PAR 3 competition at WBGC

Braving Walvis Bay the somewhat ideal weather conditions more aligned for wind surfing than golf, 34 players participated on a great format of golf from different tee off positions.

The winner of the day was Grant Mather with the first prize and the trophy on a best gross of 63. The best Nett was won by none other than one of the sponsors, Boel Grobbelaar on 57.5, the prize for the second best Nett went Poena Johnson on 60 with Emile Vilbert on 61 in third spot with Wynand Breytenbach [61.25], Amandio Sardinha [62] and Wayne Hart [62.5] in forth, fifth and six respectively.

There were two lucky draws which were convincingly won by last year’s winner, Tienie de Wet and Andre Burger, who is now becoming the luckiest golfer in the club. Jaco de Witt was at the prize giving to hand out the prizes and on the photo are Jaco de Witt, Grant Mather and Morne Roux our own Trevor Noah.
It is reported that this event will be staged again next year, without the small print of ‘weather permitting’. Our thanks go to Jaco de Witt, Boel Grobbelaar and Pieter Hamman for their wonderful sponsorship for the event.
On the point of sponsors we have had a few over the past few weeks and the club is now the proud owner of a sod cutter and a new lawn mower for the aprons. We have acknowledged the sponsors on the social platforms and we are truly spoilt when it comes to sponsors and to all of them, we are very grateful.
