Message from Charles Sawyer
Captain - Senior Golfers Society of the Border
​Good afternoon all fellow Seniors,
​
Firstly I would like to thank all those who attended the above. We as hosts for the event, Border, hoped that every one of you enjoyed your stay in Graaff-Reinet.

I would like to thank all those concerned at the Graaff-Reinet Golf Club for helping me organise the two days of golf. A special mention must be made of Johan Danielson, who helped to make sure that everything ran smoothly.

Every senior that I spoke was very impressed with the way the golf course was presented to us. All those who look after the course can be very exceptionally pleased of their achievements. Graaff-Reinet has a golf course that they can indeed be proud of.

I must also mention the staff in the bar, and all those who helped with the catering.

Thank you to our starter, Lyndon Friend, who also took photographs, that have been posted on the Golf Club's website.  

On both days, playing conditions were perfect. Some good results were achieved, and listed below are all the winners.

On both days, the format was a fourball alliance with 2 scores to count on each hole.

A special mention to our sponsors:
Scottish Leader whisky
Fish Eagle Brandy
National Finance Brokers
S A Breweries for the lucky draw.
M an H Bodies for the golf balls for the 2 clubs

Well played to all the winners.

It was decided at a very brief meeting that next year the tournament will be held on the 24th and 25th September at the Graaff-Reinet Golf Club. The Free State Seniors Society will be the hosts.

A little story that I found rather amusing. Keith Kieck is well known for his generosity amongst the Border Seniors. He gave the caddie in his covey R20.00 for ‘pin money’. The caddie responded by saying, ‘Dankie Baas’ and gave R10.00 back to Keith!!

Thank you all for been there once again. We will see you next year. Those who could not make the trip, make every effort to be there, it’s well worth the trip.

Regards, 
Charles Sawyer.
