A highlight of his round was his consistency of shooting 39 and bagging 22 points on the front and back nine.
This victory was a narrow one though, with M Gouws Junior coming in second with 43 points and the experienced Marie Terblanche in third with 40 points.
Local golfers will take full advantage of the long weekend and compete in the Veldenvlei Ringball sponsored day on Friday and the Rotary sponsored day on Saturday.
Players will follow a Better Ball Scramble Drive format on Friday and a 4 Ball Better Ball Stableford format on Saturday.
