The Friendship Cup, a highly anticipated event for caddies from both unions, took place at Malmesbury Golf Club, featuring the top six caddies from each union competing for the prestigious trophy. This year, Western Province (WP) entered as the defending champions, while Boland sought to reclaim the title after a three-year absence. The atmosphere was electric as Boland kicked off their campaign with a strong performance, defeating WP 2-1 in the morning foursomes. As the singles matches began, the competition intensified, putting the camaraderie of the Friendship Cup to the test. Both teams battled fiercely, with seasoned golfers showcasing their skills in closely contested matches that often came down to the wire. Challenging weather conditions, including a strong southeaster, added an extra layer of difficulty to the day. Despite this, the caddies delivered impressive performances that captivated spectators. Ultimately, Boland emerged victorious in the 2024 Friendship Cup, demonstrating a solid team effort and reclaiming the trophy. Congratulations to Boland on their remarkable achievement!
