An exciting weekend with good weather saw Jeffreys Bay Golf Club (JBGC) host its much-anticipated annual Club Championships with two days of thrilling golf on April 5 and 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging as the Overall Men’s Champion, Greg Manuel demonstrated consistent form and composure across both days to defend his title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the women’s competition, a determined Ronelle du Toit clinched the Ladies’ Overall Champion title with a standout performance that sealed the victory on the last hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nett Champion honours went to Brian Alexander and Jenny Smith, whose steady play earned them the wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition in the men’s B division was just as fierce, with Nathan Combrinck taking the win and Dirk Linde clinching best nett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the C division, Johan Nienaber secured victory with 35 Stableford points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big highlight this year was the closely contested ladies’ Nett Champ playoff, the first in the club’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two tense playoff holes, Jenny Smith emerged victorious over Rolien Meiring and Mimi Rautenbach in what was one of the most exciting finishes in club history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ladies’ section, the best putter accolades went to Annetjie Gerber on April 5 and Rolien Meiring on April 6, showing their touch on the greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club President Lynn van Biljon handed over the trophies to all the winners and thanked all the players who participated, the ground staff and club manager, Willem Visser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With good weather, friendly rivalry and sportsmanship, the weekend was a great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club now sets its sights on making next year’s event bigger and better as the club also celebrates its 80th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club welcomes visitors and offers reasonable playing fees and membership.
