River Runs Through It
Last weekend saw the contesting of the annual challenge involving the three clubs that run along the course of theHennopsRiver– Zwartkop, Centurion and Irene. This tournament was the idea of a Centurion member with the view to fostering a friendly spirit between the members of the three clubs, while at the same time giving a broad spectrum of the members an opportunity to play competitive golf. This year was the fourth event after Centurion won the inaugural event and Zwartkop won the next two.
This year Irene Country Club is extremely pleased to announce that Irene finally got our grubby little paws on the coveted trophy and won the event by 1 ½ points from Centurion with Zwartkop in third place. The table below shows how the teams fared against each other. The undoubted stars of the show were the Irene ladies who won 17 out of a possible 24 points!
