Welcome Richard! We have a new addition to the Bloemfontein Golf Club Team. Richard Maree is 26 years old and started working in the Pro Shop in December 2019. He is also currently busy with his 3rd and final year of his PGA Diploma, under the Mentorship of Quintin Williams. During his schooling career; Richard was awarded on numerous occasions as Golfer of the Year. Currently, he has a handicap index of + 3.2 and his career low round was a 62 here at our club. We all wish you the best of success, and it has been a pleasure working with you. What an exciting weekend of golf last weekend! The co-sanctioned event, the Tour’s Limpopo Championships, saw our big guns, M.J and Wilco keep the Blomfontein’s Golf Clubs flag flying high. M.J was 6 under after 54 holes and made 78 in the final round, finishing level for the tournament. What a great effort! Wilco finished on 17 under par and second place overall. Congratulations to you both, and thanks to Quintin for the updates ever 15 or so minutes on Sunday afternoon. Bridging the gap We're excited about the new developments underway.
