Lion of Africa Insurance, supported by Munich Re, recently sponsored the second Insurance Institute of Gauteng (IIG) Golf Day of 2012, held on 22 May 2012. 36 teams of four (144 golfers) teed off in extremely playable conditions to tackle the course at Gl
According to Lion of Africa Insurance CEO, Adam Samie, despite the sticky greens and long played course, the event was a massive success with a record number of golfers exceeding the events’ 120 maximum limit. “The format of golf is a great leveler when it comes to sporting ability and we really enjoyed catching up with and competing against some of our key brokers in Gauteng on the day.”
The competition was a four ball alliance, two scores to count. Handicaps were accommodated and players were requested to make up their own four balls. The tournament also had various exciting categories including longest drive, nearest pin, most golf and longest day- which refers to the players who came out last.
Prizes were awarded for first to fourth ranked teams and the eventual winners, Rodger Govender, Patric Daly, Joe Hartman and Roy Kirby scored 86 points to top the leaderboard. President of the IIG, Kim Gallus, thanked sponsors, Lion of Africa Insurance and Munich Re for their support and participation in the event.
The winners included:
1st: Rodger Govender, Patric Daly, Joe Hartman, Roy Kirby on 86 points;
2nd: Aubrey Kok, Albert Bergh, Trevor Morgan, Kevin van der Byl; and
3rd: Oliver Burnett, Selwyn Machet, Murray Gibson, Stuart Hurter.
· Nearest the pin: No. 17, Gerrie Pretorius.
· Longest drive: No 18, Jean Oosthuizen.
