The winners of the recent Pam Golding Ladies Golf Open were Lauren van der Merwe and Lelané Straw, pictured here with Pam Golding’s Saria Blaauw and the Pam Golding Properties – St Francis Bay Trophy at the prize-giving.
They finished with an astonishing 91 points, ahead of the rest of the huge field of 160 ladies from 45 clubs around the country.
Lauren scored excellent gross rounds of 72 at St Francis Bay Golf Club and 69 at St Francis Links, playing with a +1 handicap. Lelané scored 85 and a remarkable 74, with a 12 handicap. They are both from the Royal Johannesburg Golf Club.
In second place, for the second year in a row, were the vivacious Sardinia Bay pair, Elize Strydom and Marlene Groenewald, on 88 points.
Ladies Golf Open Treated To Great Weather
The ladies were all treated to great weather, two fun evenings at Full Stop and Joe Fish, and a warm-up nine holes on the par 3 course on Friday, but sadly, no one shot a hole-in-one, so the R380,000 VW T-Cross is back at Dirk Ellis VW.
The plan is to have 200 players next year!
