BSD executive member and administration officer Mbali Ginindza said the
attendance was not so good, as about 30 players attended, yet they had expected
more than 50. She said most players failed to make it because it was a holiday.
“We are happy with the standard of the game. Most players have improved and
our membership is increasing. We hope more players will attend the next
tournament to be announced soon,” she said.
The winners were presented with golf T-shirts.
