Jordan Rothman crowned 2024 GN Womens Open Champion

The 2024 Womens Open was held at Silver Lakes Golf Estate. There was a delayed start on the Sunday due to frost, and a very windy afternoon, but with the course in exceptional condition the players fought hard and showed some true grit which lead up to an exciting final 18. In extremely windy and cold conditions, there was some exciting golf. Jordan Rothman held her nerve and birdied the last hole to win the event 1 shot ahead of Centurion’s Zane Kleynhans. Congratulation to The Els Club at Copperleaf’s Carissa Davids who lifted the B Division trophy.
Thank you to Silver Lakes Committee and members for giving up the course for the 2 days, the staff and management for their hospitality and all the players for supporting the event. For final results CLICK HERE

Gerry Few served on the Executive Committee of Gauteng North Golf Union for 20 years.  He served as President from 2010 – 2015 and his passion, dedication, knowledge and invaluable support to the Union will be missed.  Being one of only two managers to win the Premier IPT, and in recent times guiding the Mid Amateur to 3 titles in 4 IPTs cannot be overemphasized.
We thank him for all tireless input and contribution over the years, growing the Union from strength to strength.
