Up for it: Chokwe has been in fine form

The recent Botswana Golf Union (BGU) series of tours which kick-started in Jwaneng at the start of the year have seen three players excel. The tour was recently in Gaborone for the Botswana Amateur Open.

Maru Chokwe, Lone Masalila, and Edwin Madigela have been the stand-out performers thus far. Chokwe, 14, has done well, finishing in the top five in the women's section during the Jwaneng Open.

She also represented Botswana at the Africa Junior Championships held in Egypt where she finished in position 23 out of 27 in March. She has recovered very well since then and won the Botswana Amateur Open after winning in the women's section last weekend. She competed in the main draw winning against both the junior and the senior women. She won with 85 gross shots scored on Saturday and 84 gross shots scored on Sunday. In the junior boys' section, 17-year-old Masalila has been making steady progress.
