Losing Henriëtte Frylinck early this year to the professional ranks has not reduced the chances of the Gauteng A team (the DAISIES) successfully defending their WGSA 72 hole teams championship title which they won at Graceland, Mpumalanga in 2010 and at Langebaan in 2011. The team still includes both top-ranked South African amateurs, each of them winning the SA Stroke Play title in the past 14 months. Pictured here are the 2011 winners, Henriëtte Frylinck, Kim Williams and Nobuhle Dlamini.
Swaziland’s Nobuhle Dlamini picked up her third match play title of 2012 to add to her three stroke play titles when she returned a 3/2 win over Namibian Bonita Bredenhann at Glendower today.
