We hosted the Pros PGA Central Gauteng Regional 2X2 Championships On Monday and Tuesday we held the PGA Regional Championships here at Ebotse Links. As a PGA Member, we get asked to tender for these events. As we held the National tournament last year May, I thought it would be great to host the regional event this year. After tendering, we were given the opportunity to host the event. 38 Local PGA Members of the Central Gauteng area and 38 amateur entered, and it was a great 2 days of championship conditions at Ebotse Links. Their was some good scoring by the Pros over the 2 days: Well Done to Ivano Ficalbi (CEO of the PGA of South Africa), for a solid 2 days of really great golf. Ivano managed to shoot 65 (-6) and 70 (-1) for a total of 135 (-7) for the 2 days. A big thanks to Birchwood for sponsoring the event, and for looking after all the players each day on the 1st tee box.
