The Gauteng Golf Day was held at Modderfontein Golf Course. There was a full field of 36 Four Balls. Unfortunately, the golf was held up by lightening and when the golfers were called off the course for a second time, the Golf Committee decided to cancel the competition.

The players then proceeded to the Club House where a lucky draw was held and a good time was had by all. The lucky draw raised a considerable amount of money for the “Teddy Bear Clinic” along with the profit from the Golf Day.

The sponsors of the Golf Day were:
Bulldog Projects, Blastrite, Danso, Structural Applications, Stoncor, Jotun, Total Blasting, Storm Machinery, Kaefer Thermal, T M S Group, Satcon, Sigma, Plascon, International Paints, Hall Longmore, Geoff Harris and CorriSA
