SAIS golf day

July 2008 News & Events

Friday 9 May saw the South African Institute of Security hold its 9th Annual Charity Golf Day at Waterkloof Golf Course and sponsored by Omega Risk Solutions. This year saw an even bigger event with 38 four-balls participating. Many of the holes had been sponsored by various companies who provided drinks to the thirsty golfers as the weather proved one of those wonderful warm autumn days that you can only find on the highveld. Toits Nissan once again provided a car should anyone manage that elusive hole in one - and once again no-one managed to drive it home.

The evening saw the golfers and their guests being entertained by Eddie Eckstein. Prizes were presented for the closest to the pin on various holes, the longest drive and the longest day.

Overall winners were the team from the SAPS, consisting of Commissioner Morgan Chetty, director Piet Croucamp, director Stefan Pieterse and Savan Marimuthu, with Mike Cowley's team second and the team from Sun City placed third.
