![]() So just like that, the 28th Men’s Amateur Classic has come and gone. Great weather met the golfers with four glorious days showcasing Southbroom and the South Coast as the most pleasant place to spend a winter! Once again it was a hotly contested affair, with many teams in the running for most of the tournament. Taking control of the final two days and winning were Ig Erasmus & Rudie Venter and coming second were Rob Meydell and Peter (Pierre) van der Walle. Well Done Gentlemen!
Southbroom Amateur Classic Thank You’s!All the teams and over 300 tournament photographs can be found on the Southbroom Golf Club Facebook Page.
(You may have to ‘Like’ the page first if you want to tag yourself or copy your picture) Thanks to our resident photographers and especially Richard Bridgeford for his roving action pics on the golf course! A great memory! Thanks for the feedback as always!
Thank you and your team for organising such a great week again – it is a highlight of our year.
– Andrew Fox It was great being part of a very well organized tournament. You’ve done a great job…congratulations. – Rudie VenterThanks for a great classic last week …as usual it was superbly run and the course was great … and the weather was perfect. Looking forward to next year already !!! Regards – Stephen Anticevich Thanks Fabulous time and definitely back next year! Hopefully with a better golf swing … A total of 12 South Africans have made it to the Open Championship at Carnoustie this year. It is fantastic to see us so well represented. It is always fun to watch ‘links golf’ as the players plot their way around the course, it seems as though staying out of the bunkers this week is an absolute must!
