We say it every year, and we’ll say it again: May in Durban is hard to beat; but 9 May, when the Durban Golf Day teed off at Kloof Country Club, was something else. With sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 20s, it was a fantastic day, full of fun and great energy. As one participant put it, “Every Durban Golf Day is a great one, but this year’s raised the bar.”
As usual, a big thank you goes to Steve Sanders for his tireless enthusiasm and commitment. He’s a big reason that this event is such a success year after year. Thanks also go to Howard Lister, who took care of all other logistics, especially the prizes. His creativity never fails, and he always makes sure everyone leaves with a smile.
Without the loyalty and enthusiasm of our golfers, this day wouldn’t be possible. A special shout-out goes to our generous hole sponsors: Elonics, Electech Power Solutions, Voltex and ifm. Their presence (and liquid refreshments) helped bring the day to life. ICA was, as always, a warm and welcoming presence at the registration table, greeting golfers with a smile, a shooter, and an offer of a raffle ticket or two. Thanks also go to our prize sponsors: Elonics, Endress+Hauser, Phoenix Contact, Loadtech, Voltex, ifm and Rhodes Foods. The three ICA hampers, the SAIMC’s raffle of a meal voucher to Mama Luciana’s, and a four-ball game of golf at KKC raised a whopping R4834,00. The SAIMC prize was won by Dhilkash Bahadur from ifm.
We had a new photographer this year, Sicelo Bele, who took things to a new level with his request for interesting poses (no more just stomach in, chest out and smile). He also captured the essence of the day with a short video which can be viewed here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMSJgM6o6/
The winners were:
First prize, ifm1: Russel Cairns, Dhilkash Bahadur and Rishen Naidoo (94 points).
Second prize, Alpine Instruments: Gary Collum, Gavin Farrell, James Mayoss and Billy Bauer (93 points).
Third prize, Loadtech Loadcells: Grant Douglas, Riaan Potgieter, Anton Schilz and Antony Kruger (91 points onco).
