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

Weber wins GN Mid Am Open in scorching heat

The 2024 Gauteng North Mid Amateur Open was hosted at Irene Country Club.  The course was in superb condition and proved a true test to the 90 competitors.

After round 1, there were three players tied at the top on -3, however being 3 behind the leaders did not worry Nicolaas Webber who shot a fantastic 67 in the final round to win the title, one ahead of nearest competitor Francois Coetzee.

A huge thank you to Irene Country Club, staff and management for presenting a beautiful course and your hospitality as well as the Committee and members for giving up the course for the day.

Moolman on fire

After winning the Free State Open last week, all eyes were on Mid Amateur golfer
Louis Moolman at the Gauteng North Open.  Having the Scottish team here, as well as 5 other International players and the top amateurs in the Country at our biggest event of the year, it was always going to be exciting and competitive.  Scotland’s Gregor Graham, put up a tough fight in the final 36 holes, but the consistent form of Pretoria CC golfer Louis was too good for anyone to catch and with rounds of 68, 67, 69 and 67 he won the event 2 ahead of Gregor.

The course was in absolutely exceptional condition, and although a tough walk for the golfers it was a true test for the best amateurs.  An enormous thank you to the Club, management, staff and committee for not only giving up the course for the weekend, but the five star hospitality and assistance in hosting a fantastic tournament.
