“Everesting” is an activity in which cyclists ascend and descend a given hill multiple times, in order to have cumulatively climbed 8848 metres (the elevation of Mt. Everest). Not only is Yvette Negrine a good golfer, she is also a world class cyclist. She completed this event last weekend in Durbanville (Amadeus Drive, road up to reservoir, Avalon Hill) She did 167 laps which equated to 341km and an accumulative climb of 8848 metres. She came first and earned herself “Hells 500 grey stripe”. Congratulations Yvette! Yvette made her club very proud! | | Lady Captain’s Trophy won by Phindi Gila. Congratulations! | Congratulations! I would just like to thank my Boot team for a winning. Result albeit a bit close had me sweating for a while until I got the scores from the last 4-ball of the 10th and we won by 13. We scored 620 to Wellington's 613 and yet at Wellington in 2016 we scored 689 points. What does that tell you? Well, maybe the Durbanville course is getting tougher. A great day was had by all and I would like to thank Wellington for the spirt they showed both on the course and afterwards in the pub. (Those boys can ‘dop’.) I'd also like to thank Wellington for the excellent prizes they provided and also to DGC John Bold and his team and to John Ekermans, Chair Man of Match & Handicap for all their assistance in making the 47th Boot a huge success. Yours in Golf, Team Manager and Team Captain of the Boot John Hamilton | | Congratulations to the winners of the 47th Boot | | | Fixtures: A full line-up of forthcoming club competitions & events: Friday, 7th July Super Draw!
