International Tours

We hosted the Seniors from Chile in May 2019, and 12 Seniors toured the United Kingdom in June 2019. A team of 4 players, captained by Dave Horak, participated in the King Leopold Challenge in Belgium.

 

National Tournament - April 2019

The Seniors Nationals were hosted by Southern Cape in April 2019 and the team from Gauteng enjoyed the local hospitality. The next tournament will be hosted by the Border Society in East London from the 20th to the 23rd of April 2020 and Gauteng will be represented by 38 members. We wish all participants good luck.

 

Matches

Both the matches held against Gauteng North, at Royal Johannesburg in June and in Pretoria at Pretoria Country Club in November, were won by Gauteng North.

The Triangular played at Harrismith Golf Club was well attended and won by us. Well done to the team captained by John Balderson.

A Quadrangular Tournament was held in Parys in August with OFS, N. Cape and Gauteng North and 14 players from each Society participated.

 

Competitions

We had the pleasure of being hosted during the year by the following clubs, and we again thank them for their hospitality.

Home Course

We again record our sincere appreciation to the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club for the privileges extended to our Society and members during the year. The Club has extended these privileges to our Society for the upcoming year for which we are highly appreciative.

 

Finance

Our thanks to Messrs Odendaal and Company for their past support of our Society by

providing the required annual audit of our accounts. They have very kindly agreed to continue this service for the next financial year.

We confirm that the financial statements present a satisfactory state of affairs of the Society. The Society showed a loss of R26 718 for the year which is mainly attributable to the decline in competition income and the need to increase the number of new members. The committee has decided to increase the Competition fee from R30 to R40 per game and to reduce the value of some of the prizes and in addition to actively promote the addition of new suitable members to the Society.

 

Surplus Investments

The Committee continues to invest a portion of the surplus funds that we currently have, in quality equities with SA Stock Brokers.

 

Committee for 2020/21

In the terms of the constitution, subject to confirmation at the AGM on the 15 March 2020, the committee for the ensuing year will be:

 

·       President - John Balderson

·       Captain - Rohan Sheppard

·       Past President - John Marshall

·       Committee - Derick Finlayson, Pat Cronin, Mike Renwick and
Rob Wassenaar

Jonathan Narayadoo and Alan Houghton have indicated their willingness to join the

Committee and we very much look forward to working with them.

 

In conclusion, I wish to thank the members of the committee for their enthusiastic support and attention to the affairs of our Society. It has been an honour and a privilege to have worked with you. A special thank you to Frank for his capable administration of the affairs of your Society and for his support during the year.

I wish the incoming committee, in the face of a changing environment, the strength and wisdom to protect the ethos and principles of our great Society.

 

JOHN MARSHALL

PRESIDENT
