In the Individual Stableford Competition for all twenty College players, Mitch Foster stole the honours with 43 points, followed by Charl Pellissisier on 42 and Richard David on 38. Well done to all the golfers on making this a wonderful day out.
May 2012: Over the holidays Ross Wortley was included in the Border U15 Golf team that took part in the Nomads SA u15 Team and Individual Strokeplay Championships held in Somerset West from 27 April to 01 May 2012.
Conditions were extremely tough over the four days of the tournament and Ross must be commended for the positive manner in which he came back in his final round. Well done to him on his selection and congratulations are in order for the way in which he represented the school and the province at this prestigious tournament.
Bryce Bosman and Dylan Thompson returned from the Dainfern National College Golf Championships late last night after putting in a creditable performance over the past three days. The championships were held at the Dainfern Country Club; the course was in immaculate condition, with the greens getting progressively quicker as the tournament went on. College were handily placed after day 1 but let things slip slightly over the last two days to finish mid-table out of the 50 participating teams, still far better than they have done in the past few tournaments they have played in. Well done to the two boys.
Inter-house and Individual Golf Championships:
On Sunday 18 September 42 boys and 4 staff made the trip to Alicedale for the Inter-house and Individual Golf Champs that were held at the Gary Player designed Bushman Sands Golf Course. The weather was good with the course in better condition than last year. Whilst some players found the going tough, an enjoyable day was had by all. In the Inter-house competition Upper comfortably saw off the challenges of the other houses to win the event with 96 points, followed by Espin on 78 and Armstrong on 69. The senior individual event was won by Michael Houghton on 29 points, with Anthony Everard in second on 24 points. The junior competition was far closer with Anthony Dakin and Keiran Wittuhn having to play in a sudden death playoff down the 18th to decide the winner after both had finished on 24 points. With both players looking extremely nervous on their approaches to the 18th green, it was Dakin who eventually triumphed, sinking a 4 foot putt to seal the victory.
Bryce Bosman and Jason Baggott played in the Fish River Junior Championships over the weekend, one of the bigger Border Foundation Tournaments on the calendar. Both players did well with Bosman finishing in 2nd place in the A division, 1 stroke behind the eventual winner, and Baggott 5th, also in the A division. Well done to both players.

During the holidays Bryce Bosman, Michael Houghton, Dylan Thompson and Jason Baggott travelled to Johannesburg for a practice round at the River Club before travelling on to Sun City to take part in the International Schools Golf Tournament hosted by St Johns College.
The competition was as tough as always and whilst the College side got off to a very positive start on Day 1, things unravelled very quickly on the lightning fast greens of the Gary Player Golf Course on Day 2. The College side fought hard over the last two days but had left themselves too much to do to improve on their previous best position at the tournament. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful experience for the team to be exposed to such a high level of golf; their behaviour both on and off the course was exemplary and through the contacts made we have been invited to participate in another schools tournament hosted by Dainfern College in March next year.

Inter-House Golf 25 April 2010:
On Sunday, 25 April 2010, 46 St Andrew’s College boys went through to Alicedale to play the Individual and Inter-House Golf competitions on the Bushman Sands Golf and Country Estate. Conditions were not easy with the fairways very patchy and difficult to play off. The greens were good but difficult to read and this was reflected in the scores during the day. In the Senior Division Anthony Everard was placed 1st with 28 points, followed by Michael Houghton and Joshua Nuttall on 23 points. In the Junior Division, Charl Pellissier won with 26 points, closely followed by Jason Baggott on 25 points.
In the overall Inter-House competition, where the top 4 scores from each House counted, Upper emerged comfortable winners on 94 points, followed by Graham on 78 and Espin on 76.
My thanks to all the boys that turned out to play on the day. Spirits were high and much laughter could be heard across the course.
Well done to both boys and to Upper on their Inter-House victory.
