Laser, Hobie and others taking part in the race. Dormac Marine sponsored the event and Hit Radio

Anton van Rensburg number one Walvis Bay golf news Forty-one consecutive years of sponsoring by Old Mutual Short Term Insurance Company, surely this must be a Namibian record for a company to support a club.

The weather conditions were perfect for the 39 entrants this year and all was set for good scores and that is what we got. Stephan Jacksch and Anton van Rensburg started very good with 23 points each on the first nine holes followed by Pikkie Champion on 21. Desmond Benson, 12 points and Brendan Britten, 13 points struggled on the first nine holes. Seems that they missed windy conditions, but at least they both played better golf on the second nine holes. Jaans Stander did not finish that well at all, making bets at the start he wanted to shake hands after nine holes, but at least continued like a good sportsman should, ending the day on a total of 23 points. Practice boet and thanks for the money! Stephan Jacksch spent too much time in the club house after nine holes and messed it up on the second nine with
a mere 13 points to end on 36, this to the great delight of his playing partners that had consistent scores on both nine holes. 2-clubs were scored by Brendan Britten, Johny Borges and Wayne Hart. Nearest to the pin was Johny Borges and Wayne Hart. The final outcome was as follows: 1st Anton van Rensburg - 44 points, 2nd Sergio Figueredo - 40 points C/O, 3rd Rocco Viljoen - 40 points C/O, 4th Johny Borges - 40 points C/O, 5th Bertie Coetzee - 40 points C/O, 6th Willie van Zyl - 37 points C/O, 7th Victor Clara - 37 points C/O, 8th Amandio Sardinha - 37 points C/O, 9th Pikkie Champion - 37 points C/O, 10th Lady T Grobler - 36 points. A competition that was started 41 years ago by Hans Frielingsdorf and today is continued by Impie Brand, manager of Old Mutual Short term insurance Co is still very popular in Walvis Bay.
Impie and staff, what can we say about your support? You and your staff are all great and we can only salute you all. See you again next year! Subs - Enough said about this. All subs due by 30 September! If you are not on the handicap system any more, you will know why. Remember, that once you are off the handicap system, it costs the club a fee to reinstate you. It does not happen automatically. FNB Namibia Coastal Open - This weekend we host one of the prestigious Namibian golf events, the FNB Namibia Coastal Open. Remember, the course will be closed as from 12:00 today in preparation. Those who are playing, please note that the use of alcohol on the course will result in disqualification. A big thanks to the Municipality of Walvis Bay for fixing the Golf Club Avenue surface.
