The Durban branch also held their annual golf day on 2 September. With 21 four ball teams entered, and beautiful weather (with only the erratic wind being a reality check for anyone getting too confident about the length and direction of their drives) the day was declared a success – both on the course and afterwards at the prize giving and 19th hole!
