We had a great response to our Founders Day celebrations last week, with many of our former students getting in touch. I had great fun looking back over old photos and records, and had a stark realisation that our initial students, who came to us just out of school, are now in their mid-thirties! Here’s the earliest photo I could find from 2005, taken at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC. In the centre of the image you’ll see Sunshine Tour winner, Toto Thimba next to James Baker, who has had a fantastic career caddying on the European Tour for players, such as Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer and Jamie Donaldson. Keeping up with the winners Heinrich Prinsloo made it 3 Premier Medal wins out of 3 this year with a score of 72 on the West Course at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC on Friday. We also had personal bests from Mark Fairley, Seamus Leech, Jonathan Williams, Samantha Conradie, Armand Muller and Cobus Brits. | | Heinrich Prinsloo | | Well done to Vuyisani Makama on winning last week’s Junior Medal with a score of 76 in wet conditions on the West Course at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC.
