Golf tournament ends successfully
Senior golfer Tim Botha beat 28 other competitors to win the annual Bank Windhoek Swakopmund Coastal Senior Open Golf Day.
Sixty-seven-year-old Tim Botha is the winner of the Bank Windhoek Swakopmund Coastal Senior Open Golf Day which took place at Swakopmund's Rossmund Golf Course on 11 and 12 December.
Sponsored by Bank Windhoek since 2015, the two-day annual Bank Windhoek Swakopmund Coastal Senior Open Golf Day tournament saw a total of 29 senior golfers compete for the top prize.
Although the event involves playoffs between the coastal and central seniors, the emphasis was on performances by individual participants.
Botha, who scooped the Bank Windhoek player of the day award in 2018, won the tournament with a total of 73 points, followed by Harald Engling and John Horne on 68 points apiece. Engling took the second spot due to his seniority at 73 years old, while Horne is 70 years old.
“This is my first tournament win after taking part for a few years. I must say that I was nervous at the beginning since my competitors are top senior golfers with good reputations in the sport. I, however, kept my nerves intact and delivered my best performance to date. Thank you, Bank Windhoek, for such a fantastic tournament,” said Botha.
The tournament's organiser, Tienie van Rensburg, said he, together with the committee members and senior golfers, was satisfied with the event.
“Everything went smoothly and all of us, as senior citizens, enjoyed ourselves on this beautiful golf course. Our gratitude and appreciation go out to Bank Windhoek for the generous support since 2015,” said Van Rensburg as he wished everyone at Bank Windhoek a joyous festive season and prosperous 2020.
The event was part of Bank Windhoek's Summer Festival, which is currently under way at the coast and will end on Saturday with the Beach Bash and the Tiger Trails.
