This has contributed to the team producing some better results. College finished fourth in this year’s annual KZN Schools’ Team Championship, an improvement on our last few years performances. Two boys (R van der Berg and D Charters) were also selected to the KZN Schools B team which is very encouraging. Much hard work is still necessary for the young players to fulfil their potential, however, there is evidence of dedication by a number of junior boys who want to achieve at the highest level. The golf tour to the South Coast during the July holiday was again a great success with a large group of boys making the trip. They played six different courses in as many days and on most days the boys played 36 holes. Five boys stayed on after the tour to play a further three tournaments which were part of the KZN Golf Unions calendar. The School Champion of the year was C Reed who won a play-off over three holes against M Kruger and N Trodd. What is of further encouragement is that five of the current first team will be returning to College in 2017 and the eight places in the first team will be hotly contested. Members of the first team were: C Reed (captain), A Mitchell, N Forde, D Charters, N Trodd, M Kruger, R van der Berg, L Parker-Dennison, J Barnard, D Furmage Results: vs vs vs vs vs vs St Charles Michaelhouse Hilton KES Affies PBHS 134 2-1-1 2 -½-1 2-0-2 1-0-1 Lost Lost Mr D Trodd
