With a long weather delay, and bad light suspending play in round 1 of this year’s GNGU Senior Open, we were lucky to be able to complete both rounds for the event.
CGGU’s Kevin Sharp managed to shoot rounds of 70 and 71 to take this year’s trophy 2 shots ahead of nearest rival Weyers Janse van Rensburg.
The leading super seniors were Gordon Wessels, Stephen Chewins and Neale Gandy on 147.

We also announced the 2 Gauteng North players selected to go represent Gauteng North at the Senior World Amateur taking place in Reunion in a few months.  Thank you to the partnership with Air Austral, Ness by D-Ocean and the Reunion golf association, Leon Scott and Jauqo Jacobs will be going to participate in the event.

A huge thank you to Waterkloof Golf Club, not only for giving up the course and their hospitality, but their work in ensuring we could go ahead with 2 rounds for the tournament.

Irene Country Club was in great condition and proved to be a good test for the players at the 2023 GNGU Silver Salver.   However, Irene’s own Tristan Leonard showed true form with a convincing win, finishing on -14 for the event, 7 shots ahead of nearest competitors.

Thank you to Jondo and Duca Del Cosma for your contributions to the tournament.
