The South African Golf Association has named new-look senior and junior teams for the upcoming test against Scotland and the All Africa Junior Golf Challenge respectively.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made during the SA Stroke Play Championship currently underway at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa in George.<\/p>\n
South African number one Haydn Porteous and the second-ranked Zander Lombard lead a senior team that features several newcomers for the test against Scotland at Leopard Creek in Mpumalanga from March 4 to 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have really had to explore the depth of South African amateur golf after we lost so many of our top amateurs to the professional ranks at the end of last year, and this will be a good opportunity to test that depth,\u201d said SAGA President Andr\u00e9 Pieterse.<\/p>\n
The four-man junior team, for the All Africa Junior Golf Challenge at Le Touessrok in Mauritius from April 27 to May 3, features two players ranked within the top 20 on the SAGA national amateur rankings in Thriston Lawrence and Jason Froneman .<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about the potential of the junior team. It\u2019s a very good one with some strong players in it, and we\u2019re expecting a lot from them,\u201d said Pieterse.<\/p>\n
