The 6th event of the 2021 Duckhook Golfers Durban Series took place on Sunday the 13 of June at Kloof Country Club

The 2021 Season is made up of 11 Events from January to November, all taking place at a different golf club to test the player’s skills over 11 months. The Series leaderboard will be determined by the most Individual Stableford Points earned over the 11 Events, with the luxury of 10 out of the 11 scores counting towards the final tally. Allowing a player to miss an event or the worst score falling out to still fight for the Title.

This Season, Srixon will be sponsoring the Series, with the Champion walking away with a year’s supply of Srixon Golf Balls!

Going into the Event Andrew Godfrey holds onto the top spot of the standings, now on 160 points at an average of 32,00 points.  Kobus Nel moves from 3rd to 2nd on 158 points only 2 shots off the lead. Ashwin Ramchand also moves up the standings onto 156 points.

Kloof Country Club hosted 16 Players which was greeted by a warm winter’s day as the players prepared to Tee off at 07:30 on a course in near perfect condition as the sun raise glistened over the Fairways and Greens.

Kobus Nel got off to a strong start making 4 Pars and a Birdie in the first 5 holes. He took the early lead and at one point was 7 shots ahead of the field. Getting to the 7th hole, a narrow Par 5, it was time for the longest hitters to show what they were made off as the scene was set for the longest drive. Kobus Nel took the prize with a mere Drive of 115m as the rest of the group could not find the fairway.

Playing in the opening fourball, Hayden Stone looked to continue his consistency which he has shown in the past couple of months, made a strong finishing with 1 Birdie and 6 Pars to finish his round in 4 place. This is his 4 event where he has ended up in the Top 5. A player to look out for in the future    

 
Getting off to a rocky start Andrew Cassells came back from 2 blackouts in the first 4 holes making 4 Pars and a Birdie leaving him tied for third going into the back nine. Andrew ended up in third place after a well constructed back nine.
Andrew Broughton was the early clubhouse leader on +3 coming back to making 19 points on the back nine.
 
Coming down the final stretch, Kobus only needed to make bogey on the last to give him a second Duckhook win and the first of 2021.
 
After 6 Event, Kobus Nel leaps to the top of the Standings taking his points tally to 194 at and average of 32.33. Now 15 points back Ashwin Ramchand moves up one spot to 2nd on 179 points, while Tiaan Bekker moves up to 3rd another point back on 178 points.
 
The next Series event will be on Sunday 11th of July at Sambithi.
