Seniors’ Society News

Seniors’ Society

The Winelands Seniors League season has finally ended with Bellville succeeding Durbanville as champions. They were deserving winners having an unblemished record of nine wins from nine, four points clear of second placed Kuilsriver. In this final round, Durbanville used their home advantage to beat Kuilsriver comfortably 3 1/2 - 1 1/2. There were again excellent wins for Suat Palanduz and TJ Lee, along with Deon Minnaar and Neil Rix and Mike Rolfe and Gordon Simmons. Bob Rees and Bert Vos halved their match whilst Pieter van Wyk and Peter Seward’s loss didn’t affect the result.

Durbanville only lost one more match than last year when winning the League, but two halved matches earlier in the season meant they had too much ground to make up.

Last month at Devonvale, Durbanville beat Parow 3-2 with wins for Suat/TJ, Deon/Neil and Pieter van Wyk and Jan Horn. Congratulations to Suat and TJ who went through the entire season winning every match and who are unbeaten together since they first paired up some 18 months ago.

Thanks are due to all 15 players who represented the club throughout the season. We hope more will put their names forward to be considered for selection in 2020 with the first match at Somerset West on 28 January 2020.

Yours in golf,

Bob Rees

League News

The Premier League season has come to a conclusion with DGC not delivering on their potential. The team unfortunately lost the last couple of games to Westlake and KD Mowbray to finish 5th on the log. The Club is looking for a better performance from our young stars in 2020! League season is now finished for the year with Mid Am and Senior leagues starting again in January.

Something else to look out for in January are the final changes for the World Handicapping System. This includes a Playing Condition Calculation that adjusts the course rating when adverse weather conditions or course set up affect the day’s scores. Keep a look out for notices about these changes in the coming weeks.

Lastly, all members are encouraged to look out for the Turkey Day that will be played on the 14th Dec 2020. The competition has been enjoyed by the members in previous years and the committee would like to re-invigorate it for 2019. It should be good laugh and a bit of fun to end the year.

Enjoy the festive season and get some golf in where you can!

Yours in golf,

Mathew Herbert
