The tournament was almost cancelled
after three key South African competitors boycotted
the golf after an expected loss to England in the rugby.
Capetonian under 14 badminton champion Preston Fairweather
was later excused from his role in the boycott when
it was revealed that his wife had just given birth.

1ST: Adam 'Tanker' Culy - a
previous R.T.Classic Champion and wears the label
with pride. May turn up to play with one shoe and
driving a circus truck but pulls out the stops when
a title is in the off'ing. His tendancy to look
for the swell in each water hazard may count against
him.
Final round score: 95

 |
2ND: Sean 'Snip'n'tuck' Henaghan - one
of the favourites for the Championship, Sean will
want to leave the UK with this prestigious title
under his belt. Revels in all conditions but tends
to run out of juice when placed under pressure.
Final round score: 88 |
 |
3RD: David 'Titleist-head' Woodard - threw
away a grand chance to take out the Millenium Raymond
Tidy Classic and bitter ever since. Will play the
whole round with a 3-wood, his only remaining club,
in protest.
Final round score: 104 |
 |
4TH: Mark 'Tiger' Wood - an agricultural
style is complimented by a pocket arsenal of bio-chemical
weapons. Has been heartened by the return to form
of big man John Daly and has fashioned the chin-mullet
in his honour.
Final round score: 104 |
 |
5TH: Mark 'JJ' Johnson - will use blinding
swing speed off the tee to unsettle opponents but
a cannier lad ye cannae meet. Not a Scotsman but
as tight as Osamas ringpiece when approaching the
hole. Also a previous R.T.Classic Champion and a
huge fan of early tee-offs, he must be kept an eye
on. Final round score: 104 |
 |
6TH: Chris 'Putting for 2' Dew - an early
contender for the Raymond Tidy Classic 2001, his
weekly penchant for a bucket of balls prior to weekend
rounds has seen no return on the investment so far.
Hip flask known to contain Tia Maria which is guarded
jealously.
Final round score: 106 |
 |
7TH: David 'Silver Fox' Fanning - known
to have competed on the Seniors circuit for the
past 10 years, Jommo Fanning learnt the fun of playing
with balls'n'holes during his Silverstream days.
Uses humour as a distraction but yet to win a tournament
on these credentials. Final round score: 113 |
 |
8TH: Glenn ' the Shark from Cronulla' Lindsay
- this quiet unnassuming Aussie amongst the pack
has been known to use psychological warfare as his
only meaningful method of contest. Believes Australia
to be the birthplace of Champions although has recently
taken to burning all sports sections prior to reading.
May attempt to play golf over-arm. Final round score:
110 |
