SOUTHBROOM MIXED AMATEUR CLASSIC 2021

9 and 10 October 2021

The eighth Mixed Classic was a great success. Well done to all who took part and helped make this event so special.

Congratulations to the winners, the top 5 being:

The eighth Southbroom Mixed Classic has come and gone. In another crazy year with many ups and downs we happily found ourselves between the dreaded Covid ‘waves’ and able to host a fairly restriction free event. This years theme was Black & White, a simple yet elegant look.
In the week leading up to the Classic this year the heavens opened and Southbroom had around 230mm worth of rain in 7 days. Fortunately come Saturday, the Clouds disappeared and were quickly replaced with bright blue skies. This was coupled with a very strong South-westerly wind and along with the very damp conditions made for a very difficult golf course! The conditions were reflected in the scoring as Southbroom locals John Fox & Irene Schanda with 39 points edged out Pieter & Lizette de Villiers and Alti & Binny Stephen by one point to take a slender lead into Sunday’s final round.
Gavin, Michelle, Thembi & Phet put on a wonderful medley of roasts which the players enjoyed after their round of golf with some light entertainment.
As if Saturday wasn’t bad enough, Mother Nature decided to throw all she had at the field to see just how committed these players were. Early in the round bouts of rain, coupled with a gusting South-wester put all the players to the test. Fortunately the wind kept blowing and blew the clouds away leaving the final hour or so with some blue skies to finish! The players coped with the weather very well, none more-so than Andy Bossard and Eli Bachmann, last years champions making sure their name would be up near the top yet again finishing 4th Overall. Grant & Erica Walker also fought back well after a slow start on Saturday, 39 points on Sunday saw them finish 5th overall tied with Andy and Eli, 4 points off the eventual winners. Consistent showings from Alti & Binny Stephen and John Fox & Irene Schanda saw them both finish with 2nd and 3rd respectively, tied on points and just one point short of the eventual winners Neill Crossey and Lyn Doveton. They had finished just outside of the prizes on Saturday and seemed to fly under the radar a little but impressive tally’s of 37 and 39 points saw them clinch their maiden Mixed trophy by 1 point. An incredible job in trying conditions!

It is so special to see the many regulars who make a point of diarizing this event in their calendars and of course to see the new faces too, it was a special weekend and we hope the players enjoyed it as much as we did!
