Teams named for 2023 African Amateur

GolfRSA National Squad member and No 1-ranked Yurav Premlall will make his debut for South Africa in the GolfRSA Senior Protea Team at the African Amateur Stroke Play Championship at the magnificent Leopard Creek in February 2023.

CAPE TOWN, 10 December 2022 – GolfRSA National Squad members Yurav Premlall, Jack Buchanan (of Rondebosch Boys' High School) and Amilkar Bhana, as well as Keagan Crosbie will wear the green and gold for the first time when they debut for South Africa in the African Amateur Stroke Play Championship at the magnificent Leopard Creek in 2023.

The quintet has been named to the GolfRSA Senior and Junior Protea teams that will represent the country in the 54-hole team competition that is played concurrently with the first three rounds of the 72-hole international stroke play championship from 6 – 9 February.

“Our GolfRSA Senior Protea Team will feature our top four ranked amateurs, namely Yurav, our reigning SA Amateur and SA Stroke Play champions Kyle de Beer and Jono Broomhead and Aldrich,” said South African Golf Association (SAGA) President Henk Smith.

“Keagan, Jack and Amilkar debut on the GolfRSA Junior Protea Team alongside Dan Bennett, a member of our 2021 junior team. All eight golfers have performed consistently well this season and we excited to see them in action at Leopard Creek.

“The championship annually draws a large number of top-ranked international amateurs and we have witnessed some fantastic battles in the team competition since the first event in 2016. We are confident that have selected two strong teams to lead the South African challenge. It is a wonderful opportunity to give these rising talents the chance to compete against the top competitors from abroad.”

Premlall reached the No 1 position on the GolfRSA Open Rankings in a season where he never finished outside the top 10. Not only did he win three times on home soil, but he enjoyed his first international success in the MCB Indian Ocean Open in Mauritius in October.

Potgieter made his South African debut in the World Amateur Team Championship in France this year. In addition to his record-setting victories on the GolfRSA Junior circuit and a pair of wins on the Open Amateur circuit, Potgieter became only the third South African to lift The Amateur Championship title, joining Jovan Rebula (2018) and Bobby Cole (1966).

The pair also did the country proud serving on the International Team in the Junior Presidents Cup, contributing 4.5 of the team’s 11 points.

De Beer is the only member of the victorious 2022 Senior Protea side to return for duty, while Broomhead will make his third appearance for South Africa. The pair shared in the GolfRSA Protea Team’s record 24th victory in the Africa Region 5 Golf Tournament in Angola in May, while Broomhead won the Individual Competition in the 2022 All Africa Golf Team Championship in Egypt, where Team South Africa placed second.

“We are quite excited about the GolfRSA Junior Protea Team named for the 2023 African Amateur Stroke Play Championship,” said Smith.

“Earlier this year, Dan was a member of the GolfRSA Junior Protea Team that swept to a 29-stroke victory in the All Africa Junior Championship in Egypt, and went on to claim a fourth-place finish in the prestigious Toyota Junior Golf World Cup in Japan. We believe the three rookies on the team will benefit greatly from his experience at international level, and his knowledge of the championship course at Leopard Creek.”

Crosbie and Buchanan both enjoyed breakout seasons, rising to second and third respectively on the GolfRSA U-19 Rankings, while Bhana, at fourth in the standings, continues to impress.

Gauteng North’s Crosbie not only won twice on the GolfRSA Junior circuit this year, but he also reeled in four top five finishes in his other eight starts that saw him vault into the top four. Buchanan, a member of the victorious Western Province teams in the Premier SA and SA U-19 Inter-Provincials last year, racked up six top 5 finishes at home, and also performed well abroad, finishing seventh in the English U-18 Amateur Championship and 14th in the Carris Trophy.

Bhana, the winner of the Reply Italian International U-16 Championship in 2019, has been one of our most consistent players on the GolfRSA Junior circuit for a few years now. Once again, despite academic pressure and a limited schedule, he produced six top fives, including two runner-up finishes and a joint third in the Nedbank Junior Challenge this year.

“The African Amateur Stroke Play Championship presents us with a fantastic opportunity to give our leading Open and Junior amateurs the chance to test themselves against top international competition, and we applaud the selection committee on their selections,” said GolfRSA CEO Grant Hepburn. “They have named eight in-form amateurs to fly the flag for South Africa, who are thoroughly deserving of the honour, and I am confident that these teams will do us proud at Leopard Creek.”

The GolfRSA Senior Protea Team will be managed sports psychologist Theo Bezuidenhout, who works with the GolfRSA National Squad, while biokineticist and national squad fitness trainer Gavin Groves will look after the Juniors.

Bennett will be the Senior Team reserve, and fifth-ranked Jaden Deltel from Bryanston Country Club the Junior Team reserve.

Congratulations to Wikus Potgieter, who has won Gold in the 100m Backstroke, at the U20 Region 5 Youth Games.
Rondebosch Boys’ High School
Cheers for Boots

In June of 2022, Rondebosch Boys’ High School, was approached by Mr Mike Mavovana, the inspiring Headmaster of Hector Pietersen High School, to assist with its drive to create a pervasive sports programme at the school. Mike Senior is the father to Rondebosch Boys’ High School legend, Mike Junior, who played school, provincial and national rugby, and has gone on to represent Maties at University. Mike Junior was a record-breaking 100m sprinter and a prolific try scorer in the very good school side of 2015 and 2016.

Drawing from his own children’s experience with sport, Mike Senior’s vision is to build sport and to provide excellent facilities at his school, and thereby make a social impact on the Walacedene youth. His challenge is that his school is hugely under-resourced, whereby 1332 learners and several sporting codes, have to vie for time on the single field available to them. In a community where buying boots for sport is far out of their reach, Mike’s appeal was for a donation of second-hand rugby boots for the girls’ and boys’ teams. While this appeal was being responded to by Rondebosch Boys’ High School's Outreach Society, our cheerleaders won a sum of cash in the KFM Sanlam Marathon War Cry Competition, and the leadership from Matric 2022 asked if a portion of their winnings could be used to give back to the sporting ambitions of learners at a school that lacked the resources available at Rondebosch. In a moment of perfect synergy, this led to the Matrics donating R20 000 of their winnings, and the amount which was supplemented by the Outreach Society who had raised R10 000 in the course of the year. One of our Rondebosch parents works for TFG and suggested we approach them for vouchers from Totalsports, so that the school could buy boots in bulk. Totalsports very generously added R25 000 to the pot, and this has left Hector Pietersen High School with the enviable conundrum of what equipment to purchase. Although how to spend the windfall is entirely up to Mike and his team, at a thumb suck, R55 000 at R500 per pair could buy 110 boots! We are proud as a school whose being is deeply embedded in sport, and where our boys derive so much joy from playing, that we are able to pass some of the love of the game on to another generation.

Thank you to the boys for shouting their lungs out to win the funds, to Totalsports for their immense generosity, and to KFM and its listeners for recognising the Rondebosch Boys’ High School gees to a point where all of this became possible. This is just the tip of the ice for Mike Mavovana, and we appeal to other schools and communities to find out how they can help develop the courts and fields to realise his dream for the learners of Hector Pietersen High School.
