SA Amateur Gholf. Bea Breedt, graad 11-leerder van Hoërskool Ermelo, het van 19 tot 24 Februarie aan die SA Amateur Gholf-kampioenskap deelgeneem. Die kampioenskap het by die Mount Edgecombe Buiteklub in Durban plaasgevind. Die voorste amateur-gholfspelers in die land het mekaar die stryd aangesê om as die beste in Suid-Afrika gekroon te word.

Dié toernooi vind plaas oor drie rondes van “stroke play” waarna die voorste 64 spelers kwalifiseer vir die uitkloprondes. Daarna verander die spel na die “match play” formaat. Uit 92 damespelers, eindig Bea in die nege-en-twintigste plek en kwalifiseer dus vir die uitkloprondes. Sy het ongelukkig vasgeval in die eerste rondte en het sy haar wedstryd met 2 en 1 verloor.

Dit is nie aldag dat ‘n hoërskoolleerder kan meeding met die beste in die land nie. Baie geluk, Bea. Hoërskool Ermelo is besonder trots op jou en sien met afwagting uit na wat hierdie jaar se gholfseisoen gaan bring.

SA Amateur Golf

Bea Breedt, Grade 11 learner from Ermelo High School, competed in the SA Amateur Golf Championship from 19 to 24 February. The championship took place at the Mount Edgecombe Country Club in Durban. The leading amateur golfers in the country battled each other to be crowned the best in South Africa.

The tournament also takes place over three rounds of stroke play after which the top 64 players qualify for the knockout rounds. After that, the game also changes to the “match play” format. Out of 92 ladies’ players, Bea finished in twenty-ninth place and thus also qualified for the knockout rounds. She unfortunately got stuck in the first round and lost her match 2 and 1.

It’s not every day that a high school student can compete with the best in the country. Congratulations, Bea. Ermelo High School is extremely proud of you and looks forward with anticipation to what this year’s golf season will bring.
