| The Investec Club Championships took place on the 26th and 27th of April.
A weekend filled with excitement, talent and some truly impressive performances from our young golfers!
Isabella Obray and Shaun Viljoen were the stars of the show, proving that you can be young and can also bring a cool and calm demeanour to the game of golf!
Isabella, affectionately known as Izzy, started her campaign strong and maintained her momentum throughout the tournament.
With rounds of 76 and an outstanding 71, she not only dominated the ladies’ section but did so with a commanding lead over our capable Ladies League Captain, Lynn Slogrove. In fact, Izzy’s performance was so stellar that she finished with an incredible 23-shot lead…Incredible!
On the men’s side, Shaun Viljoen made waves at just 15 years old!
He opened with a remarkable round of 69, which gave him a significant 7-shot lead over his closest competitor, Scott Keevy. The final day saw Shaun maintain his cool demeanour even when faced with pressure as his closest competitor (Scott Keevy) started off strong with a birdie. However, Shaun remained unfazed and delivered an impressive final round of 71. This performance secured him the Club Championship trophy by an astounding 13 shots, further solidifying his reputation as one of South Africa’s brightest golfing prospects.
Additionally, we would like to highlight our Nett Champions: Scott Keevy for the men and Sally Nienaber for the ladies. Their consistent play throughout the tournament deserves recognition!
This year’s Club Champs not only showcased incredible talent but also highlighted the bright future of golf at St Francis Links.
We look forward to seeing what these young stars will achieve in their golfing careers!
