This fabulous day would not have been possible without their financial support.
To the amazing Committee Members – Tracey Glasby [vice-Captain], Yvette Negrine, Julie Hamman, Rosa-Linda Wessels, Leigh Mitchell and Leonie Swart there are no words great enough to express my thanks for their dedication, loyal support and assistance. They have all excelled themselves.
Thank you to all the people who assisted and went the extra mile to obtain prizes and items for our goodie bags and raffle hampers – the lady golfers loved them. An amount of R8000 was raised for the New Life Centre which was the charity organization we supported for the day. It was an amazing day and we supported an amazing cause.
To all the DBV GC personnel thank you for assisting in making this event possible – your support and kindness is greatly appreciated.
I have had numerous positive feedback from many people expressing their gratitude and enjoyment of such an amazing event.
Congratulations to Margaret De Wet, Mary-Ann Abbot, Michelle Kemp and Michelle Petty, our champions for the DBV Ladies Open Trophy 2019 – Well done. Michelle P and Margaret were the defending champions from 2018.

Seniors' League
After a winter break, the Seniors League got under way again at the beginning of September in a match against Paarl at Somerset West Golf Club. With several of the previous team unavailable for various reasons, there were necessary selection changes. Not for the leading pair of Suat Palanduz and TJ Lee however who yet again got the team off to a winning start, although not with their usual fluency and dovetailing as their opponents took them to the 18th. Behind them, a new pairing of Deon Minnar and Winston Heunis succumbed to an inspired 12 handicapper and his partner before another new pair of Greg Baxter and Bert
Vos had an excellent 3&2 win.
The third new pairing of Mike Rolfe and Peter Seward could not have made a worse start, finding themselves four down after four holes playing against an 81 year old with an exceptional short game. Recovering superbly to go one up after the 11th, three successive lost holes meant they were back to dormie two down. This was salvaged with wins on the 17th and again on the 18th as Mike holed a testing 10 footer to halve the match.
And so to the final game where Pieter van Wyk and Jan Horn fell just short on their 18th hole to lose 1 down. This left the overall match tied at two and a half games each. Thus any chance of defending the title Durbanville won in 2018 disappeared as Bellville secured their seventh straight win and needing just one more to secure the trophy. The next round in October sees a Bye for Durbanville before playing Parow at Devonvale on Tuesday 12 November.
