The 2025 NOMADS SA Girls Championship took place from 30 June to 2 July at the picturesque San Lameer Country Club on the KZN South Coast. As the premier event on the junior golf calendar, it attracted the country’s top young talent. 15 girls from Western Province Golf proudly participated in the national showdown.

San Lameer, with its tropical climate and challenging layout lined with water, tested every aspect of the players’ games.

Championship Division Highlights:

• Zayaan Hendricks (Atlantic Beach) delivered a superb performance, finishing T6 overall. She earned a spot in the final round’s leading group, a milestone achievement that speaks volumes of her composure and skill on the big stage.

 Silver Division Standouts:

• Erin-Leigh Arnold (Atlantic Beach) held her nerve in the final round to claim a share of 4th place.

Rolling Momentum into the KZN Junior Championship:

Ten of the girls stayed on to compete in the KZN Junior Championship, also hosted at San Lameer immediately after the NOMADS event. Their strong performances continued:

• Kaitlyn van de Vyver (Royal Cape) finished 5th, followed closely by Zoey Rhoda (King David Mowbray) in 6th and Zayaan Hendricks in 7th.
