Celebrity Golf Classic – 15 March 2012
Local celebrities will grace the lawns of The Humewood Golf Club when the 14th Celebrity Golf Classic which is hosted by Algoa Bay Council for the Aged is held on 15 March 2012.
Amongst the celebrities who will be taking part in the event and who will be “swinging” to raise funds for the elderly are Mr South Africa 2010, Denver Burns, SA Rugby players Breyton Paulse, Rob Louw, Robbi Kempson, De Wet Barry and Danie Gerber.
Local comedian Gino Fabbri will be there alongside SA Boxing great Kallie Knoetze…this could lead to ’bouts’ of serious laughter!
To add that special touch of glamour to the event Roxy Louw and several beautiful ladies will be there on the day.
We are told that SA Sunshine Tour Golf PRO’s Titch Moore and Francois van Vuuren will host a “Mulligan” with ice cold cocktails on the 18th….does that mean if you get to take the 2nd uncounted shot at the little white ball that you get to drink the cocktail or your playing partner…whichever way the days round of golf will end on a high note indeed.
Gino Fabbri will entertain with a comedy show at the prize giving event.
Funds raised will go in particular to older people surviving on state pensions of R1040 per month.
There may still be place for your team (4-ball) to book. Phone Alta or Maureen on 041 3688434.

SA Open Golf Championship 2010
SA Open: History
The year 1903 is recognised as the official birth of the South African Open Championship. It was first played for in 1893 but was really only a series of exhibition matches between very few professionals. But in 1903 the championship was contested over 36 holes in Port Elizabeth.
On 5 June 2008 Humewood Golf Club was dealt a bitter blow when it was announced that SA Airways had pulled the plug on their sponsorship of the country‘s biggest golf tournament, the SA Open.
Following the huge success of the South African Open at Humewood in 2006, which saw record crowds line the fairways of the links, SAA announced that it would bring the championship back to Humewood in 2010.
But now that SAA has withdrawn from its association after six years, it seems Humewood‘s chances of hosting the tournament are very slim.
The 2010 SA Open is taking place at Durban Country Club in Durban.
Bring your golf clubs along on your next visit to Port Elizabeth and enjoy a superb round of golf on our amazing Humewood “Links” course.
For Port Elizabeth accommodation: Homeleigh Halt Guest House in Walmer, situated 14 km’s from the golf course, invites you to “be our guest.”
