| The battle of Links courses – St Francis Links vs Humewood |
| The “Good Neighbours” match between St Francis Links and Humewood took place last Friday, and it was quite the spectacle! The weather was stunning, the golf course was beautiful, and the vibe was epic. 32 golfers from Humewood made the trip from Port Elizabeth to challenge our 32 members.
We are thrilled to announce that we had an absolutely dominant display on the day. The final score was St Francis Links 14-2 Humewood.
The return fixture will require a “Miracle at Medinah” type comeback for Humewood!
The St Francis Links team extends its gratitude to the Humewood management team: Brendon Timm, Dylan Reid, Wiele Rademeyer, and Hugo Maritz (Humewood captain). Their efforts made the event possible. |
| Our Ladies’ Section is Flourishing! |
| We’re absolutely thrilled to see the incredible growth of our ladies’ section! It’s been going from strength to strength, with increasing numbers and a fantastic atmosphere. Initiatives like these are what keep the excitement and interest in golf alive and well! |
| A huge thank you to Janet McNaughton for driving this initiative and putting so much energy into it! Getting the beginner ladies to play late afternoon – when the course is at its quietest – with little pressure on the ladies.
And a massive thank you to our sponsor, the St Francis Links Golf Shop for their support during the last event. |
| We understand that getting into golf can sometimes feel a little daunting. But don’t worry! If you’re keen to get involved and learn the ropes along with others who are also doing so, please reach out to the golf shop, and we will be delighted to help you integrate with the ladies’ section and get you started. |
