2016 has started well at Umkomaas Golf Club, with our junior programme, called KidzGolf. 

We offer free tuition as well as provide all the necessary equipment to those kids who do not have their own.
 

In the photo above, in the centre is Lindani Mthiyani, who is an apprentice at the SAPGA. He is studying part-time. He does his practical teaching hours under my guidance.

Lindani was Club Champion at Umkomaas Golf Club last year.  The writer was last club Champ in 1984… just after the Boer War.

I’m in the centre (white shirt).  The other old chap in the group photo is a caring club member, Mike Harvard, who helps control the ‘wild bunch’.

It’s not that long ago when Tim Clark and Garth Mulroy were as young as this group and their early development happened on the very same practice area as we are standing on in these photos.  In fact when they are home each year around Christmas and New Year, they still practice and play at Umkomaas Golf Club.
