Welcome to the 2023 SA IPT at East London Golf Club

The warmest of welcomes to the 2023 South African Inter-Provincial in Border.

We are delighted to return to East London Golf Club and very grateful to all who have contributed to prepare for this event. Thank you to you all, whether it was on the course, in the clubhouse or behind the scenes, and a big thank you to our hosts, Border Golf Union, AJ Steyn and the tournament committee.

On behalf of everyone at GolfRSA, I would like to wish all the players a great golfing week.

Have a great time representing your province and enjoy the fierce the competition and the wonderful camaraderie this event brings. We are excited to see how the week’s matches will unfold as our players are tested at this spectacular setting.

On behalf of the South African Golf Association, I would like to welcome all competitors, administrators, members of the media and spectators to the 2023 South African Inter-Provincial Tournament.

We are delighted to be able to return to East London Golf Club for the seventh time and I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to AJ Steyn and his team at the club, and to all members for allowing us to compete on this wonderful golf course.

Once again, the cream of SA amateur golf has gathered with one objective in kind: to be crowned the SA IPT champions for 2023.

Players – I congratulate you on your selection for your provincial team. Some of you will be making your premier IPT debut this week, and I trust you will enjoy the best of what this week brings – new friendships, camaraderie, fierce competition and great team spirit.

Our thanks go to Udesh Pillay and the Border Golf Union, as well as to all those hard workers in background whose considerable efforts make this event run smoothly.

Good luck to all teams over the week ahead.

We would like to thank the East London Golf Club members for giving up the course for this tournament and the management and staff for their tremendous effort in preparing the course and facilities for the duration of the event. Our thanks also to the tournament organising committee for putting the event together.

The East London Golf Club is honoured to be hosting the 2023 Premier South African Inter-Provincial Tournament and we would like to extend a warm welcome to all participants, their respective team managers, as well as all the GolfRSA officials.

With the club having a proud history of hosting world-class tournaments, we aim to ensure a great week of golfing for the players and a social experience that will complement the week’s activities.

I am sure that in the competitive spirit in which the event is played, there will be team camaraderie in abundance and when the winners are crowned at the end of the week, new friendships would have been forged and lives been touched through this wonderful game we call Golf.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy your time with us and that when you leave our historic establishment, you depart with a sense of satisfaction and a longing to return. We wish all the teams the best in their endeavours to clinch the title. May the best team prevail.
