SARF Northern Region’s 3rd Annual Golf Day
Play of the Month
After months of preparation, an anxious check out of “golfweather.com” (good site for predictions) and final reminders to the players about their tee-off times, THE DAY was upon us. The golf day was a great success thanks to the many company participants and the sponsors (SSI, Letsunyane, Road Mac and Armco).
Not everybody appreciates the pleasure that is to be had walking in park-like surroundings, observing the birdies, occasionally lifting a club, and following the flight of “that little ball” to its resting place in a cup the size of a CD. But the SARF Northern Region’s golf day is becoming a must for the players in the industry. Apart from healthy exercise, it gives people a chance to talk to their colleagues and clients in relaxed surroundings.
84 players from all walks of the road industry took up the cudgels and dared to challenge their mental toughness and skills against the Kyalami Country Club golf course. They played in ideal conditions on a superb course, with the indomitable team from SSI taking the honours (and the cup, and some amazing prizes).
Innocent Jumo, the Region’s immediate Past Chairman and perhaps the keenest golfer on the course, provided some pearls of wisdom for the players as he awarded the prizes. He even had the grace to blush as he handed the cup to the winning team from SSI!
Almost everyone stayed behind to enjoy the lamb on the spit, and anxiously awaited the draw for a mid-week getaway for a fourball, generously donated by the Euphoria Golf Estate and Hydro. (Check out their web-site http://www.euphoriaestate.co.za) Everyone has suddenly become “best friends” with Wayne Jacobs who was the lucky winner.
The organisers were delighted to receive such positive feedback from players “Put us down for next year!”; “Great day. We thoroughly enjoyed it.”; And the promise (or is it a threat?) that “We will be back.”
