Last week was a bit of a busy week at UWBC.
We hosted our monthly Halfway Toyota drawn trips competition on Wednesday afternoon and have a really great turn out with a full green. What a mixture of games with some teams having a small shot difference, and some having runaway games. The winning team had one such game with a winning score of +20. Congratulations to Ed Speed, Pat Norris & Neill Birdsey on their win, and to Peter Burton, Jo Boonzaier and Eunice Gage who came second with a score of +12. Thank you to Halfway Toyota for their sponsorship and we look forward to seeing what next month’s competition will bring.
While that competition was on the go, there was another match being battled out between Sindi Hlongwane and Kevin Palmer for the Novice Club Champion. What a game to watch with the score peeling after every few ends. Going into the last end, both bowlers were peeled on 20 and Kevin was holding three shots when Sindi managed to take the prize with a wick from the very last bowl of the game. Congratulations to both our bowlers on a great match.
Sunday saw a fantastic crowd on the greens to celebrate the 80th Birthday of our very own Tabs Master, Koos Marais. Koos is a very dedicated member of UWBC and is always willing to put in extra time and effort for the good of the club and we wish him all the best on this amazing milestone.
In other news, we have some exciting things coming up in the winter. We’re going to be hosting the Duzi Pigeon Racing Club on Thursday evenings where they’ll prepare their pigeons for racing. Not only does this sound like it’ll be a festive evening, but certainly something different and interesting to come and watch and learn about. Anyone wanting more information regarding pigeon racing can contact Albe Hassbroek on 082 457 5432.
That’s all for this week… see you on the greens!
