The Federation Pairs competition, sponsored by Safety Kit, was held at the Windhoek Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday.

The annual Federation Pairs is the only competition that the Namibian Golf Federation hosts during the year.

Ernst Calitz said Safety Kit is proud to have had the opportunity to once again be the sponsor of this event.

The competition is played over 54 holes. The format of the competition is medal – betterball in the first round, foursomes in the second round and and the final round combined.

In total 30 teams participated. No team could win two prizes, therefore the results should be read in that context.

The gross competition was won by Chris Harwin and Morné Engelbrecht.

The best nett was won by Corneels Jafta and Aldo Beukes.
