Walvis Bay Regains Challenge Trophy

Walvis Bay Golf Club reclaimed the coveted Walvis Bay vs Tsumeb Challenge Trophy after recording a convincing 9-5 victory over Tsumeb Golf Club in the annual inter-club competition held at the Walvis Bay Golf Club last weekend.

The win sees Walvis Bay regain the trophy from their northern rivals and extend their overall lead in the long-running series to 17 victories to Tsumeb’s 14, with one contest having ended in an all-square draw since the competition was first played in 2003.

Fourteen teams from each club took part in this year’s challenge, which was contested in difficult early easterly wind conditions. The format featured betterball match play over the first nine holes, followed by scramble drive match play on the back nine, producing a day of highly competitive golf played in excellent spirit.

Walvis Bay’s consistent performances across the course proved decisive as the hosts secured a comfortable 9-5 victory to reclaim the prestigious trophy.
