During the holidays a team of six matric golfers – Sebastian Dorward, Michael Newton, Kayan Jaga, Michael Cadiz, Daniel Egerer and Thomas Jacobs – took part in the annual Cape Schools’ Week Golf Festival held in St Francis Bay. The group played ‘practice’ rounds on soggy George and Plettenberg Bay golf courses on the way to St Francis. Unfortunately, the weather was awful over the three days of the festival. On day 1, St Francis Links was closed in the morning due to heavy rains. This did not perturb the boys though, and they went to the driving range and hit hundreds of balls. By the afternoon the course had drained enough to allow for a quick nine holes. The 36-hole format planned for the next day was reduce to 18 holes of matchplay on the St Francis Bay course. On the final day the boys were back on the Links course in a gale force wind for another 18 holes of matchplay. The team returned good results with victories over Grey PE, Framesby and Nico Malan, but lost to Selbourne College. Despite the wet weather the tour was lots of fun, mostly because of the group of fine young men on the trip. A special thanks to Mr Court and Mr Gildenhuys for accompanying the boys on tour.
