GOLF – Golfer Brian Mayisela is the winner of the January Futis Tourney with an excellent score of 38 points, beating 34 other golfers in the scorching heat of Mbabane.
Coming second was Zwelisha Dlamini on 37 points while Ephraim Kunene played a level par 36 points to finish third. Vusi Norman Dlamini and Albert Mavuso completed the top five tied on 35 points with the former winning on the count back.
The tournament was played in the Medal Stableford at the Mbabane Golf Club greens. The Medal Stableford is a popular scoring system in golf and awards points on each hole based on how a player performs against their handicap. The player with the most points at the end of eighteen holes is declared the winner.
This format is enjoyed by golfers around the world, as it speeds up play and motivates players not to give up on their round if they have a particularly bad hole, as there are scoring opportunities throughout the round.
