Rondebosch Golf Club Information

For many years, Rondebosch has had the strongest Ladies' section in the Western Cape. Our A league team has won the league for over 10 years; we have always had the largest representation in the Western Province teams, and the most Springboks in the Cape. Our star, Gilly Tebbutt (who is a current Springbok) captained the Springbok side that played against the visiting British Team in 2002, and was in the Springbok squad which went to Malaysia in late 2002. She also managed the junior national team overseas and was one of only two South African ladies invited to play in a tournament in Texas. Our other current Springbok, Francis Botha, has temporarily left Rondebosch to study in the USA. Rondebosch has also done well in other inter-club events, winning the Rooibos Tournament 8 years in a row, and is always first or second in Western Province events like the Wilkinson-McGregor, the Gus and Raymond Ackerman Trophies, The Irvin and Rutherford Trophies, Western Province Championships, The Groman Cup, the Kingsley (played with the men), and the Bronze and Silver Cups. Our newest Junior Development member, Nuraan Malick, won both her sections in the Bronze Division of the Western Province Championships in 2002. Off the course as well, the ladies at Rondebosch give a good account of themselves, and we have a lively social calendar which is supported with great enthusiasm. It is a distinct advantage that we are a close group of friends sharing wonderful camaraderie across the age spectrum (our oldest playing member is over 80).
