Well, sitting last weekend watching the Open Championship, I thought for a moment they had moved it to the Southern Cape as the weather in Liverpool on Sunday resembled what we have had for the last two months. A big congratulations must go to Christo Lamprecht for winning the Silver medal as the leading amateur. A little research indicates that Christo was a member of George Golf Club from 2007 until 2013, which must indicate that he learned his golf at the same course we all love playing every week.

It is hard to write a weekly golf column when you have not been playing. But as I am enjoying my winter golf sabbatical, I have had time to read a bit and fine tune my set of clubs.

This past weekend saw some league action once again, when our Men’s Handicap teams played matches at Kingswood and Oubaai. The Seniors’ games were postponed due to the wet conditions, while the Handicap matches were kept to singles matches only.

I haven’t felt this helpless and lost since 2020 when we were forced to close the course due to Covid. This time, it’s due to the relentless rain which is where George probably got its reputation of being Cold & Wet. It certainly isn’t the Cosy & Warm city I have got to love over the years.
