2009  Walmer Country Club makes it 3 from 3 at Kelly's' 2007 Festival of Golf 2006 Walmer Country Club wins Kelly Foursomes 2006 Floods

2009 Kelly Foursomes

Walmer Country Club entered three teams in the Kelly foursomes that took place during the weekend of the 24th of October and managed to win all three leagues!!  The teams that participated were as follows:

The premier league side did not start well on Saturday morning by loosing one game and halving the other. From there it was catch-up!  On Saturday afternoon they halved one match and won the other but on Sunday they won everything!  They had to rely on Swartenbosch beating Humewood A for them to win on a games count-out!  A win is a win!

In stark contrast,  the 1st league side dominated the proceeding by winning all their matches and hence finishing with a full-house.  Well done to all the players!

Premier League Winners: fltr Patrick Toyti, Ryno Ferreira, Karl du Preez, Mzyanda Zingela

1st League Winners: fltr Gary Smith, Shaun Porter, Joe Wood, Wynand Wessels
