CGGU Inter Club Teams Tournament

The 2010 Inter Club Teams Championship was concluded at Wanderers Golf Club on Sunday, the 8th August 2010. 20 Teams representing a slightly disappointing 14 Clubs in Central Gauteng took part in this 22nd staging of this event at Wanderers Golf Club.

The course was set-up pretty tough and one or two pin positions really got the guys thinking about the greens which much have run at about 13 on the stimp meter.

In the morning's round, it was Reading's young and inexperienced side leading by one stroke from a number of other Clubs but the big moves came in the afternoon. Krugersdorp's young side, led by their Premier IPT player, Ruan de Smidt, came home with scores of 69,74 and 74 for the top three players and ended up winning the tournament on a total score of 440 strokes. In 2nd place was CMR on 445 and third, last year's winners, Wanderers A, who lost on a count-out.

The best individual score came from Reading's Kyle Lucas (69,71) who will be leaving for the USA on a scholarship at the end of next week. On behalf of the Executive of the CGGU, we would like to wish Kyle all of the best in his new challenge.

Glenvista's Brett Langston achieved a hole in one on the short 17th at Wanderers and Greg de Villiers scored a rare Albatros 2 onthe 10th hole. Weel done !

Pictured are the winners from Krugersdorp, Ruan de Smidt, Johan Aucamp, Calvin Caldeira, Justin Rossiter and the President of CGGU, Errol Mills.

Thanks must once again go to all at Wanderers for ensuring this tournament was succesful. A special thanks must go to Chris Leischer, Vice Chairman of the Club for his assistance and support.
