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.
